"Paradise is a true kitchen-sink show; there is nothing that creator Dan Fogelman and his writing team will not throw into the mix."
"Thematically, however, the show is moving in strictly one direction: backward."
"You can treat them as sugar for the pill, an arresting way to seize the attention of a fractured audience."
"In Paradise, the most powerful and morally complicated character is Samantha "Sinatra" Redmond."
Paradise is a genre-blending series that shifts from murder mystery to science fiction, focusing on a quantum supercomputer named Alex. The show critiques America's reliance on technology amidst climate collapse and explores themes of family and connection. The second season introduces a new mystery while maintaining a backward thematic direction, reflecting on the past decade of sociopolitical changes. The character Samantha "Sinatra" Redmond serves as a morally complex figure, embodying the show's exploration of these themes.
