Teeming with heady concepts and themes, Paradise is an overstuffed but addictively ambitious reunion of Sterling K. Brown and creator Dan Fogelman.

Dan Einav Financial Times Still, what Paradise lacks in originality, it partially compensates for in the talent of its lead. Rated: 3/5 Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Bob Strauss San Francisco Chronicle So even if you keep wondering how "Paradise" sustains its enviable lifestyle, there's always something less rational but intriguing to engage and distract. Rated: 3/4 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review James Jackson Times (UK) Paradise has a way of making you feel like a pawn in a slowly unfolding plot that’s been worked out backwards, so that key information points are withheld, then detonated like carefully deployed explosives. Rated: 4/5 Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) ...there are also the songs, some humor and an attempt to assume from fiction some of the critical present issues...and above all the decision not to get too serious in order to leave the human aspect as the definitive attraction. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2025 Full Review Jack King GQ Magazine [UK] Look, it's conceptually ludicrous, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Which is owed in no small part to Marsden's performance. Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review That’s the frustrating thing about “Paradise”: It toggles between compelling moments, mostly featuring Brown and/or the cataclysmic event, and people spouting uninspired TV dialogue that renders the characters one-dimensional.

Uncanny Gold O Post-apocalypse done right! This underground whodunit soars, with Sterling K. Brown as our owl-standing lead. Government intrigue meets fallout shelter drama in a twist-filled nest. Two talons up for this fresh take on dystopia! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Dawn D Love everything about this show. Great scripts, acting, visuals, plot twists. It gets silly at times, and a different kind of syfy than I usually watch, but I'll take it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Catherine M Interesting premise but the pacing is off, characters are one dimensional and the emotional beats dont land. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Joanna H I have watched three episodes, and I just don't find any of the characters compelling. There is no emotional investment in any of them and I find myself not caring what happens. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Filippo D An excellent series with a good cast and script that hooks you from the very beginning and always has plot twists. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Maryalice E The first episode is confusing. However, as the episodes progress,you come to find the flashbacks more helpful than annoying in understanding how the characters came to be and how the last few years have shaped their situations. Sterling K Brown is a favorite of ours and the reason we tuned in to the series to check it out. He does not disappoint. James Marsden is a pleasant surprise in a more serious role than we are used to seeing him.Julianne Nicholson is equally delicious as a foil to Mr. Brown. Happy to see Gerald McRaney,who is also reliably believable. The only problem we have with the series is having to wait for each next week's offering LOL 😆 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Read all reviews
