The 3-Part Paradise Season 2 Premiere Is Trying So Hard to Confound, It’s Utterly Predictable

The first season of Paradise was a wild ride, constantly shifting between the present and the past with unexpected twists and turns. It flipped everything you thought you understood on its head, revealing that seemingly good characters had dark sides and a picturesque town was actually a massive underground bunker built after a global catastrophe. You could only trust Xavier Collins, the Secret Service agent and father played by Sterling K. Brown. By the finale, many important characters were either dead or seriously hurt, and we learned that around 55 million Americans had survived the apocalypse – including Xavier’s wife.
