Paradise season 2 review: Hulu’s hit sci-fi show is becoming Lost, and not in a goody way

That’s exactly what I did. I watched the pilot episode of Paradise, which begins with the death of the U.S. president (James Marsden) and ends with the reveal that everything you’ve seen is taking place in a giant, self-contained underground city. Then I watched the next episode, and the one after that. I binged the entire first season that weekend, immediately hooked by the many mysteries of creator Dan Fogelman’s post-apocalyptic show and the nuanced, leading performance by Sterling K. Brown as Xavier Collins, a Secret Service officer trying to get to the bottom of his boss’s murder and unraveling a massive conspiracy along the way.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I agree that the complex storylines are intriguing, but it’s also interesting to see how the character dynamics evolve as the plot thickens. It really adds depth to the overall narrative.

    Thanks for your thoughts! I can see how the complexity might be a double-edged sword; while it draws viewers in, it can also lead to confusion if not handled well. The character development is also crucial—let’s hope they continue to flesh out the backstories to help clarify the plot twists!
