The next article contains heavy spoilers For "Paradise" to and including episode 7 of Season 1.

If you do not see Dan Vogelman's new show "Ray" on Julu (Disney+ internationally), what do you do with your life? This is a show that combines the kind of character drama Vogelman had the whole country glued to the screen for "this is us", plus a premise that would delight Michael Creekton.

Heavy use of retrospectives and high concept, the story run by the ensemble feels like something directly from the mid-2000s, a time when Shows such as "lost" and "prison break" have endlessly debated what awaiting new twists and complications of the main characters And what new mystery will begin to reveal. If you somehow missed what was already The only best twist of plot of 2025 so farI am here to tell you that "paradise" is not just the first episode of a killer or fantastic premise, but the whole season is worth watching.

The story is set up in an idyllic city that breaks down all hells when the secret service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) reveals the dead body of former US President Calford (Jameseims Marsden). Therefore, Vogelman uses coward-bananas, bokers, bats *** premise to explore (both superficially and with real depth) the role of the role that technological billionaires usurped within the US government and deal with the fears of the current era From climate change, political twist and much more.

It is the TV equivalent of the airport-pages-Tarner, an exciting story that only surprises with every passing hour. Even if the show has one too much emo -layer songs from the 1980s, this is the TV show you want to level before his final of the season.

The real premise of "Paradise" is that it is a post-apocalyptic thriller set after a disaster, but destroyed the surface and killed countless people. Only 25,000 people managed to escape Armageddon by sheltering in an underground bunker deep in the mountains of Colorado, unaware of the state of the outside world. If that sounds a bit like The excellent Steven King-Reconstructed "Silo", "Silo", It's not a mistake.

Just like "Silo" (and also "Fallout"), "Paradise" deals not only with the fear of impending natural disasterBut that the world After The end of the world will be much like ours in at least one key way: technical billionaires destroy everything for everyone. In "Paradise", we quickly find out that a group of wealthy people not only get bankrupt and took over the Doomsday bunker building (ironically part of a plan called Versailles Protocol), but even chose each of the people who would move to the bunker .

The plot of the season so far has been dealing with the mystery of who killed the president exactly, the thought of having threats from both inside and outside the bunker, and many, many secret that they have been responsible for the people. If you enjoy having new shocking conspiracy twists that reveal a brand new layer of one play each episode, "Paradise" more than it delivers. Episode 6 also makes fantastic respect to "die hard", as Xavier pulls a coup to expose the truth of the bunker into a tense and exciting episode that shows the possibility of Fogelman and his writing team weave in suspension and twists. Good writing characters.

Then there is the latest episode, which has just moved the "paradise" of the great show in the one to be discussed with the "Department" and "White Lotos" as a meeting television.

In episode 7, after many vague conversations, we will finally see the day that brought the end of civilization as we know. This is a wonderful episode of television, a master class in making a disaster movie within the TV episode. It turns out that the world has ended up with a bang, a specific eruption of super-valuated in Antarctica that starts with a tsunami 300 meters high that flood the coastline around the world. Knowing the whole territory will be under water soon, several countries are starting to think about the next steps and to grab and secure resources with any necessary means (nuclear plants, always nuclear).

The most impressive is how little of the real disaster we see. Similar to The great thriller of M. Night Shyamalan "Knockouts in the Cab", The only small bits we see on Armageddon are through news broadcasts-in this case, a blinking-and-you-me runs a huge wave that hits Indonesia's building in the night fall. And yet, the episode is more effective in building an emotionally fatal disaster for hair lifting than even the most The expensive display of CGI or practical effects spectacle Roland Emerich can cause.

What really sells the episode and its portrayal at the end of the world is that the focus is on the people who respond to the news. We should not see that whole cities are destroyed because we see how it affects people who know they are next. Amidst the moments of pure nightmar fuel are much slower, quieter moments that focus on people who need to be lost to any billionaires to collect to survive the apocalypse. Moments of Mud stopped before evacuating the White House to talk to a maid who worked there for nine administrations and does not think the situation is serious enough to stop the son leaves behind ... so we understand what is lost. These are the moments that sell the horror, pain and loss in the center of the show, and those who make "paradise" not only occupy, an exciting scientific drama, but one of the best shows since 2025, period.
