Premise
Lead actor Marcelu Banjeru plays Senior Inspector Adam Haviv, a detective working for the New Tyria Metropolitan Constabulary (NTMC). While investigating a crime scene in contemporary New Tyria's dockyards district in the pilot episode, he is struck in the head by an errant crane winch; he subsequently falls unconscious. Following this scene, it is deliberately made unclear if Adam has died, entered a dream while comatose, or somehow traveled through time. Immediately upon "waking," however, Adam discovers that he is experiencing a different world: the hospital in which he is being treated, Constabulary Hospital, was closed in 1983 and demolished several years later. Upon being discharged, Adam is able to deduce that his current experience can be happening no later than the year 1967.

Reception
"For most media, the questions of life after death, the meaning of dreams and the possibility of time travel are so meaty as to be more than sufficient to devote all examination. The Lament of the Raven, however, flaunts these lesser pieces by devouring them all at once, while artfully sampling discussions of the role of law enforcement, how Tyreseia remembers it's own past, and the national cultural divide of the times in such a way as to suggest the writers are showing off. This artful coup de grace of a show is augmented by the very talented Banjeru and cast, which give a sense of ironically timeless drama and thrill to a show that, by design, is extremely dated."
