One of the most talked-about shows of the moment, Hulu’s Paradise reeled fans in with a mystery around a presidential assassination—then kept them wanting more when it was revealed that the entire show was occurring in the titular post-apocalyptic bunker. From This Is Us scribe Dan Fogelman, the runaway hit thriller series spent its first season flashing back and forth between the past and present to unfurl the truth about what happened to the President (James Marsden) and why Paradise was built in the first place.
Within Paradise’s walls, the series follows the splintering relationship between Special Agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) and billionaire-turned-public-official Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) as they search for the President’s killer. Flashbacks, meanwhile, provide depth about their relationships, as Xavier is motivated by the memory of his late wife Teri (Enuka Okuma) and the death of Sinatra’s young son haunts her.
