Top 20 tv episode of the last however many years is episode 7. The entirety of the show is good but 7 had me floored. Emmy performances from SKB and James Marsden
I thought the finale was good, but of course it pales in comparison to ep 7. The finale does introduce a plot hole about the residents’ jobs which is inconsistent with the careful planning of the city (avoiding spoilers here)
Incredibly well done and yes: anxiety producing. Conceiving the end of the world as we know it and producing it convincingly in a TV program are two different things. They absolutely nailed it.
Going to go the other way- I think there are better shows on TV right now or potentially in your backlog. PARADISE felt like someone pulled it from the oven too early.
It’s got some nice twists and turns, an excellent cast, brilliant performances, and some moments that hit deep as parents. I’d give it a 7.5-8 out of 10.
We are blessed with good content (and distractions from rl).
Skip it and watch Toxic Town or the Pitt instead. I’ve watched every episode of Paradise but honestly it didn’t take a whole lot to recommend it aside from Sterling K Brown’s performance.
Definitely! I always compare it to crappy network shows where you think "If only they hired good writers." Paradise is what happens when you DO hire good writers! And that cast is amazing!
Yes , amazing plot , murder mystery fantastic acting , sterling k brown , great protagonist, Julianne Nicholson, the evil billionaire , the show keeps you on your toes throughout
It is not soothing escapism because of ✨everything happening✨ but it is engaging escapism and Sterling K. Brown does great single tear crying work in it. Also James Marsden is good in it!
If you go in realizing it’s network television, you can really get into it. And James Marsden is such a great President. It’s also only 8 episodes too which is a plus.
Only if you want to be stressed out every damn episode. It is not a relaxing show. Great show. Vibes are not chill. Sterling K Brown is an absolute force.
There is nothing that Sterling K Brown isn’t great in. Let me add that Krys Marshall and James Marsden also do a fantastic job. I liked the show and I recommend
Comments
Huge cliffhangers aren't the norm. Shows wrap up storyline in case they are not renewed. I appreciate that they didn't drag on the murder storyline.
Great series. Must watch..
Dan Fogelman is a genius.
Episode 7 was a really hard watch.
We are blessed with good content (and distractions from rl).
