Paradise is the best sci-fi show you’ve never seen. The Hulu series, which comes from This is Us creator Dan Fogelman and stars that drama’s Sterling K. Brown, wasn’t really marketed as a genre show. Even the first episode felt more like a run-of-the-mill political conspiracy thriller than anything else... until its final moments, when Secret Service Agent Xavier Collins (Brown) is revealed to be living in an city-sized underground bunker protecting a lucky few thousand people from the apocalyptic wasteland on the surface.
Season 1 slowly morphed from a murder mystery to a sci-fi adventure, bringing to mind other post-apocalyptic shows like Silo, Fallout, and The Last of Us. In the final episodes, we learned that the world-ending catastrophe may not have been quite as apocalyptic as we thought, so Season 2 will venture to the surface. Check out the trailer below.
