We got used to seeing on Disney+ light or adapted programs of large franchises. However, it should not be forgotten that the streaming platform also has content produced by the 20th Century Fox for its Star category, like the future series Alien : Earth – without counting its FX programs as The Bear or Shogun. And it is precisely one of those more mature shows that currently occupies the first place in the top 10 France of the SVOD service. A series at the crossroads between police, thriller and science fiction of anticipation. Let us tell you why you must absolutely get into Paradise.

What is Paradise talking about?
We start directly with the most difficult issue. On paper, the subject of the series is simple: the head of security of the President of the United States will investigate the murder of the latter. Obviously, Paradise offers much more than that and this is where the subject becomes delicate, because it is almost impossible for us to tell you more without spoiling a few surprises.
What we will not do. It is not for nothing that the Disney+promotional campaign, including the trailer, remains voluntarily very vague, simply asking us not to trust appearances. Nevertheless, we can reveal to you that the scenario will unveil many additional elements, from the first episode. Paradise is not just a classic history of investigation and we can say that the richness of the proposal is one of its main assets.
Who is in the casting?
And Paradise Has talked about her even before her broadcast, it is thanks to the name of her creator. This is the new baby of Dan Fogelman, a showrunner now known worldwide and celebrated for having signed in 2016 one of the best dramas on the small screen: This is Us. This time, the guy moves completely from his comfort zone, but necessarily, we were curious to know if this project would testify to the same level of requirement.
Well, we are not going to hide that we were also particularly intrigued by the casting. The charismatic Sterling K. Brown (This is Us) at the head of the bill, James Marsden (Westworld, Sonic, X-Men) in president Beau Parleur and Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown) In a troubled role forms a strong head trio, to which are added a lot of talents like Sarah Shahi, Jon Beavers, Krys Marshall or Nicole Brydon Bloom.
Why do you have to look at Paradise?
Currently, four episodes on the eight that will compose season 1 – and season 2 has been validated – are accessible on Disney+ and we are only in a hurry: to be next week to discover the rest. Nothing surprising to that, Paradise being designed to be immediately addictive. If you liked this is us for his way of taking his time with the characters, Paradise plays the reverse card and the events are linked much faster. Which could be considered a defect for those who like to have time to get attached to things, but which fits well with the intrigue of Paradise Where each twist is designed to upset the story and the characters. And if we see some soft bellies here and there, it’s for better be fooled by an unexpected twistfive minutes further.
Each episode will therefore have its share of mysteries and revelations as we sink deeper into the community of Paradise. Especially since if there is one thing that Fogelman masters, it is the temporality of his story since many flashbacks come into history. Essential flashbacks, because they not only give the context to the present situation, some keys to responses, but also allow the characters to be thickened. Each jump in the past offers a Immediate lighting of the present moment While bringing an emotional depth to the protagonists. Of empty shell, the character of Sterling K. Brown will thus gain momentum each time the series will explore his initial trauma.
If we take each facet of the series separately, we can find a lot to say there, in particular by its lack of originality, or even relevance depending on the parts. Moreover, at this stage of the season, several elements seem too light to us to see any interest. Nevertheless, Paradise always manages to hang on us In its own way of connecting everything and where each scene, even in appearance minor, can reveal an element of the investigation or to build a little more this world which is still so unknown. In the end, the show shows a good balance, at least for the moment, which makes you want to chain the episodes as much out of curiosity as by frustration. With Paradise, Disney+ proves that its best series are never where they are expected.
