Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Paradise is a wild mix of political intrigue and sci-fi mystery, now streaming on Hulu. With powerhouse performances from Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, this show hooked me from the first episode—I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. If you’re into high-stakes drama with a twist of the unexpected, this one’s a must-watch.
Dan Fogelman, the creator of This Is Us, created Paradise. The show follows Xavier Collins (Brown). He is a dedicated father and Secret Service agent. He is tasked with protecting President Cal Bradford (Marsden). But in this world, nothing is what it seems.
After a mysterious catastrophic event, 25,000 people now live in a fabricated city—hidden beneath a mountain in Colorado. This supposed utopia is designed to create a peaceful, thriving society, but there’s an eerie sense of control. Every resident wears a personalized bracelet that functions as their wallet, car key, and even their source for civic updates. An electronic sign casually announces, “Dawn delayed by two hours,” like it’s just another system update. And then it all clicks—this isn’t just any town. It’s a controlled environment, sealed under a massive dome beneath an artificial sky.
As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that far more is happening beneath the surface than anyone has imagined. I love how the characters’ journeys keep pulling you in—they are intriguing, thrilling, and sometimes downright shocking.
So no, this isn’t just a small-town drama. It’s a full-blown sci-fi murder mystery. It’s also a conspiracy thriller and a thought-provoking exploration of control and survival. And trust me, it’s only getting started.
