TV Insider Matt Roush

Season 2 Review: Put aside any fears of a sophomore slump. Think second-year sensation, as Hulu’s post-apocalyptic Paradise exceeds expectations with a surprising, emotionally exciting, and robustly suspenseful new chapter. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It is frequently silly, weighed down by both its own hyperseriousness and its constant reliance on needle drops of Gen-X anthems. .... Somehow, though, Paradise is often more fun than most of the other bunker shows. It’s big and broad, with snappy pacing, continually shifting goalposts, and an innate sense that if it doesn’t keep offering up new surprises, it will instantly lose the audience’s attention.

Season 2 Review: Whether inside the bunker or beyond it, Paradise’s sophomore effort remains engagingly earnest and cleverly plotted. Read full review

Season 2 Review: By not taking itself too seriously, Paradise finds the perfect balance of pulp and drama and though season 2 can feel like a stepping stone of sorts, it's one that is endlessly riveting and truly exciting. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

Jan 28, 2025

Season 1 Review: “Paradise” isn’t a brilliant brainteaser or a mind-blowing science-fiction story — far from it — but Fogelman’s latest serialized endeavor is a sturdy combination on a number of levels: It’s a satisfying mystery (most of the time) and a moving melodrama (some of the time). It’s absurd in its galaxy-brained plotting and searingly intimate when it dials in on its characters. Read full review

Screen Rant Nadir Samara

Season 1 Review: Cheesy lines and predictable turns will not be the death of the show. It looks great and has a lot to offer, and as long as your expectations aren’t too high, it will get the job done. Read full review

The Telegraph Chris Bennion

Jan 28, 2025

Season 1 Review: Julianne Nicholson does her best as a brittle tech guru, and Brown has charisma to spare as the befuddled hero, but the whole endeavour is as superficial and glossy as a Super Bowl half-time ad. Read full review
