Much of “Paradise” is hammy as hell... Marsden and Brown are actors who know how to harness the saccharine, though, burning sugar in order to give the narrative dimension. Go to Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence 03/04/2025
What was most exciting about this first season of Paradise was the momentum it was able to maintain — it had big “limited series” energy, each episode playing like creator Dan Fogelman wasn’t holding anything back for a second season. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) 02/19/2025
Sterling K. Brown is eminently watchable and a gifted actor who persuasively sells the roiling emotions inside Xavier. Go to Full Review Ronald Young Jr. Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Feb 23
I like the emotion. I like what [Sterling K. Brown] brings to it. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Feb 22
10/10
Paradise is an extraordinarily crafted mystery thriller with a plethora of compelling characters and unexpected twists. Over the course of eight highly intense episodes, Paradise plays out like a hybrid of 24, Lost and Snowpiercer. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 4
2/5
Although the show is from Dan Fogelman, who created the subtle and complex This Is Us, some dialogue in Paradise is bad enough to set your teeth on edge. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
