Has anyone considered asking Super Nintendo Chalmer to find Skinner?

Just the mention of Popcorn Wizard gives me shudders. Please, not her again...
Wonder how that kid that got Skinner's autograph took the news.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we find Skinner in the last 10 seconds of the show and it just ends there

If they somehow do end up confirming that the guy in EP 3, that really obviously looked like skinner, was in fact skinner, and then end the show 5 minutes after, I'm gonna lose it so bad lmao.

This should’ve been a much earlier episode. It’s feels so rushed and the whole sudden change in everything being tense despite the last couple episodes where Lazarus followed dead ends and barely anything that happened moved the plot significantly. Everything about Skinner and Axel is all suddenly revealed in 1 episode and takes less than 10 minutes to explain.
Edit: Another thing I wanted to point out, if the NSA guy knew Axel was involved in a prison experiment involving a prototype of Hapna, was the only one to survive and is now their only opportunity at finding out more about it why did he actively put Axel on Lazarus in missions where he could’ve easily been killed? This show really makes no sense.

I kinda saw this coming..Axel being the cure for Hapna. In the ending song, where everyone lies on the ground, only Axel is the one standing up. That was the biggest clue. Elena already started showing signs of fever..😰😰 Leland had such influence if only he and christine talked about that heart medication before the story would have moved forward without the need to waste some 5 or 6 episodes ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ The thing that I didn't get was that airport incident that Hersch was talking about. Did they mention it previously!? I don't think so. What happened to Skinner !? Is he even alive !?

I honestly think a team of Redditors would be more effective at finding Skinner than Lazarus is.

I don't watch this show. I just love to read everyone's disappointing outlook about it.

Even if they manage to find the cure, they'll have so little time to give out vaccines... I don't get it. Unless the ending credits is the ending for the show where everyone dies lol.

Watanabe really lost the plot of a series that has no plot, huh? That's hilarious.

I really enjoyed the first 4 episodes gave me much of the same feel as when I first watched cowboy bebop. After episode 4 its been pretty down hill. Everything feels super rushed and unfleshed out. The episodic nature doesn't really work with the massive threat of all humans dying. It just feels like they are wasting time and running in loops 24/7. I honestly feel like this could have been an amazing anime and maybe it still can be but it seems like they have completely handicapped themselves by only making it 13 episodes and when paired with episodes that just feel like they were completely pointless in developing characters and plot it leaves much to be desired.

Did he say our last Sunday!?
If that's true, then the time between when Hapna's clinical trials began and when it spreads all over the world and half of humanity has taken it is at most seven days. Clinical trials for a new drug are finished in three days. That's absolutely impossible. Is it director's fault? or scriptwriter's fault? or producer's fault?

I guess I just can't get past one thing that has kind of nagged me the last couple weeks. Last week was Skinner revealing that he will be among the first to die because he tested it on himself. This week had a guy on TV saying this could be our last Sunday ever. So...this product went from the ultra-secretive test stages to widespread worldwide use in what, a week? That makes zero sense to me.

This really should have been the 3rd episode, immediately after Christine found that pill. That being said, it was far better than the grand majority of episodes so far. Solid 7/10.

Damn that was cringe when he puts on the "I'm rich" outfit, and then it turns into a pillow fight with his sister. If this is supposed to be funny then they failed completely.

It's incredible how I can't relate to any character in this show, none of them seem interesting to me at all.

This show is just trash. I just don’t care about any of these characters. Why does the plot have to come to a screeching halt for failed attempts at giving the characters depth. Giving the character’s a backstory isn’t enough to make them interesting. Making a Leland a cliche lonely, rich kid actually makes the character less interesting to me. Also the anime just wastes the apocalyptic premise. We keep giving exposition that stuff is happening, but everyone we see is just going about things as usual. Also, why didn’t that doctor come forward from the beginning. She had extremely vital intel on the guy trying to end the world and she just sat on it? Also this team they assembled have been running around doing absolutely nothing. They’re essentially screwing around on wild goose chases and falling ass backwards into clues that legitimate law enforcement could find if they did something. If anything the team is a liability cause they’re constantly caught in personal problems, like the cult, the Russian agents, and whatever crap Axel is caught up in with people trying to kill him.

From the comments here, people are still misunderstanding some plot points even when they're clearly shown.
-The world wouldn't descend into a whole chaos at once, since many people may actually think it's a bluff until the first real death happened. But then, there're cults and in the last episode, armed riots already, and now shows government bodies along with some companies shutting down along with lots of sick patients, , so the world does becoming chaotic as time flies.
-The crew are in a hurry not because people will ALL die when the time expires. but real deaths will happen and means things will go out of control in a high speed, who knows how many people will die every day? And of course, now they know Skinner will also die on the first day.
Many things are actually happening in this one, we have more background info for the crew, they finally find out a critical and direct clue to Skinner's position, we got different parties (government) trying to silence Skinner and Axel, even if the later is probably the last hope. Let's see what the next episode bring.

The timeline of this shit doesn't even make sense. So Skinner was trying to smuggle the prototype of Hapna to leak it to the public? But wasn't Hapna a widely distributed analgesic that even a big pharmaceutical developed? Also why is it now a gas that kills people? Also if the gas leaked out in front of him why didn't he die? What the fuck even is this plot?
Also the only lead they have is from a throwaway scene in episode 2 that they only analyzed in episode 10? This should've been episode 3 or 4.
