I don't think the finale was bad, just that episode 7 was peak television.
Paradise starring Sterling K. Brown, espionage thriller on Hulu
- Thread starter daemonova
- Start date
Agree the comments here have beenand I agree with some of them. Aside from ep 7, which put the focus on a devastating and emotional moment, Paradise has always had campy moments and some questionable writing, with maybe too liberal use of flashbacks. The performances of Sterling K Brown and James Marsden, along with the premise have elevated it for me.
The opening in particular was hokey, with the project manager bonding with his West African worker. And the events that transpired and allowed him to achieve his goals were a reach, but I'm glad they didn't drag out finding out who the President's killer was.
Abby being a psychopath who really wanted to play Wii, kinda worked for me
I remember how hard it was to find a Wii and playing Wii Sports with the family
Yea I think people forget that the creator of Paradise is the creator for This Is Us, which flourished when it came to emotional storytelling punctuated by Flashbacks but also some cheesy moments backed by questionable writing here and there. He and the writers room stepped it up for Paradise but you can see the DNA of This Is Us, for better or worse, flowing all through Paradise.
You’re not going to get HBO levels of writing and characterization here but its good enough to keep the audiences attention and also keep them emotionally engaged.
I think therein lies the problem fr. People had this bih rated way too high in the 1st place when I didn't even rate it being up there with a mildly similar show in Silo which has its own set of issues
.Feel like if you took it for what it was, somewhere in the middle, it was enough to wet your beak.
Fire … every ep

shyt like this and Zero Day are telling us about our future. i fully believe we're headed to places like these
a random schlub was so mad his gay lover (who i'm not even sure liked him back?) got sick building Paradise, that he became the greatest criminal mastermind in history... except for the little girl sharpshooter who wasn't allowed to play a 20 year old video game, who was able to take down the richest woman to ever live, architect of mankind's demise and salvation

After digesting it….
I thought they could/should have used Maggie better than “he made me do it”. Do what?!?!?!?
If she was used as a spy/evesdropper that would have been better
Also, Jane and the Wii. I was thinking there was something hidden within the Wii or something

Based on how we will be treated in media for the next four years thanks to the Orange felon, nah I’m good on that sisbro, it's a show. black people can play villains, morally gray, etc. it's really corny when a show or movie creates a bunch of good guy black characters because they're scared to make one "bad". and we have had tons of great/positive black leads/characters through time. you acting like it's 1960lol @ this not being able to happen in the 90's
again, this is about the diversity of character motifs, don't racial commentary
But yeah keeping it a buck
the white girl being obsessed with Wii and legitimately having nothing to do with the presidents death is a giant fukk up
