I’m watching both “The Outsider” and “Paradise” at the same time and it was fun seeing two different sides of Julianne Nicholson. Sterling K. Brown is getting to be someone that I really enjoy seeing, regardless of the type of role. Luckily for me, it looks like there’s ample room for a second season for Paradise. The fundamental story is very familiar, a guy in a locked room is murdered, and he was under a protective detail, so how could anyone have gotten to him? This is all set in a relatively unique setting (unless you’re an Ember fan) with some world building that I really enjoyed.
I should say too, that for a show that’s mostly about violence, murder, and the general end of the world, it has one of the most uplifting and optimistic themes I’ve ever heard on tv
