Season 1 Review:
While Paradise is intriguing, you could get whiplash as the show veers from poignant meditation on end-of-the-world loss to harrowing action sequences and contrived cliffhangers. It's a lot, but could be more. [10 Feb - 2 Mar 2025, p.4]

Season 1 Review:
[Brown] gives gravity to material that can at times be thin and/or overly familiar. Marsden, Nicholson, Shahi, McRaney (another This Is Us alum) and others all have strong moments at different points, in either the past or the present. But the stories themselves are on the bland and predictable side, whether as individual pieces or combined together across these multiple genres. The one exception is the seventh and final episode critics were given in advance, which is set primarily on the day the world as we know it came to an end, showing all of the impossible, at times monstrous, decisions that Cal, Xavier, and others had to make.

Season 1 Review:
On a scene-to-scene basis, the series can be gripping. But the disconnect between its lofty themes and the shallowness of its characters and world-building undermines its grand ambitions. What might have been an insightful commentary on the fate of the human race becomes merely big, twisty, and in some cases extremely silly entertainment.

Season 2 Review:
The things that grate remain (Really, we’re going to end a climactic showdown at the bunker’s gates with a self-serious rendition of “The Final Countdown”?), but the new characters we get just aren’t compelling enough to wallpaper over the fact we’ve lost, or neutered, the old characters we loved last time around. There are a few pulpy delights here and there, but this particular apocalypse moves a bit too slowly for my taste.
