Oct 14, 2013A light romantic drama about an entrepreneur who opens the first department store in the UK. The storyline is much like Mr. Selfridge, but I prefer the set design and acting of the Paradise. It is visually delicious. I watch the show purely to be entertained and I am never disappointed.

Apr 24, 2014It's Mr. Selfridge "light" which is odd because both are properties of Masterpiece Theatre and they premiered back-to-back.
That being said, it's enjoyable to watch. -
Dec 19, 2017Absolutely loved this series. Very sad there isn't going to be a series 3? i showed both series to my mother & sister and they both loved it as well. Why is it when a great English period drama comes along with no swearing & sex scenes it doesn't get much of a rating/ bring it back to series 3!!!

Oct 29, 2018This movie is a feminist concoction that Emil Zola would not imagine. This could not have happened in the historical times depicted. Complete nonsense.
Awards & Rankings
-
Paradise is based on a Zola novel but is redolent of Dickens, envisioning the store as an insular world full of colorful characters, with its sentimental and romantic upstairs-downstairs intrigues opulently packaged.
-
A pleasingly soapy story of beating hearts and changing times.

It’s the last of the big-four British costume dramas of recent years to make its American public-television debut, after “Downton Abbey,” “Call the Midwife” and “Mr. Selfridge,” and it’s the most frivolous of the bunch, which is saying quite a bit.
