Topic: Paradise

Paradise is set in a serene community inhabited by some of the world's most prominent individuals. But this tranquillity explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds.

First episode looks good. Story was ok-ish at first but became very interesting towards the end smile
Decent performances and writing.

▼Spoiler

Did not see that plot-twist at the end coming at all - very nice surprise smile
I hope they can keep'em coming.

Also, I do not mind at all that this makes it bascially a Sci-Fi Thriller.

Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: Paradise

Its alright but I do not like shows that don't tell a story from start to end. This is one of those, the flashbacks seem unconnected at times I prefer a story that runs consecutively. I will continue with it for a couple more episodes now having watched the first two before I decide whether to drop it.

After watching Episode 02 I couldn't agree more smile.

Re: Paradise

Paradise: it's less fun than Fallout but less boring than Silo.

Re: Paradise

Just finished Paradise not horrible but if there's no season 2 - I wont cry.

I agree the flashbacks caused me some confusion but it seems that's a growing trend in TV...

Episode 7, the Day, showed the natural catastrophe and then the world powers launching (presumably) nukes - I couldn't understand that - why would it be necessary to destroy when nature was doing it for you?   Oh well maybe it will be explained in a flashback
