Paradise Series-Premiere Recap: The Great Seam in the Sky

Did you watch Hulu’s new Dan Fogelman show thinking you were getting a straight political thriller? Guess again.

Now, if you tuned into Paradise because you realized it was a reunion of sorts between This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman and the best onscreen weeper in the business and This Is Us star, Sterling K. Brown, maybe there was a moment, even just for a second, where you thought hmmm This Is Us liked to toss a twist or two at us every once and a while, is this series going to be twisty, too? When Agent Robinson learns that it was Billy and Jane who turned off the security cameras in Cal’s house for two hours the night he died, the two of them confess that it was so they could play Wii tennis (and probably have sex). • Other things I think we should remember about Cal: He refers to himself as going from being one of the richest men in the world to the Presidency practically overnight; even before the bunker, he seemed quite happy to follow Samantha’s orders, and he has some major daddy issues.
