Hulu’sParadiseis off to a strong start that is set to continue through season 1’s run.Paradise’s cast of charactersis led by Agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown), a member of the Secret Service that protects President Cal Bradford (James Marsden). WhenXavier finds that President Bradford has been murdered, he becomes determined to find the killer. The scenes in each episode so far alternate between the present-day timeline and with flashbacks that reveal Xavier’s complex history with President Bradford.
Paradise’s science-fiction twistquickly proves that the series is more than a political thriller and a murder mystery. On the surface, the community of Paradise lives up to its name and looks idyllic, but it already feels dystopian, and holds many dark secrets that go beyond the president’s death.Paradise’s murder mysteryis only the tip of the iceberg, as both the present-day storylines and flashbacks demonstrate that far more is going on, not only with Xavier, but with Samantha “Sinatra” Redmond (Julianne Nicholson) and other key characters.

What To Expect From Paradise Episode 4
It Will Focus On The Suspicious Agent Billy Pace
Based on the title and episode 3’s ending, episode 4 will be largely focused on Agent Billy Pace (Jon Beavers), who is indicated to be the potentialkiller inParadise. Despite Billy being Xavier’s close friend and colleague, there are several questionable details about him, with the most obvious being the message that Dr. Gabriela Torabi (Sarah Shahi) shared with Xavier. President Bradford wanted Xavier to know that Billy was dangerous, and with Billy parked outside Xavier’s house and looking ominously at a gun, episode 4 will need to prove if there is merit to the president’s warning.
Hulu’s Paradise Already Has One Major Challenge To Overcome
Paradise, starring Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, has begun with an intriguing plot twist and a challenge that the show will need to navigate.
With episode 4 only being the halfway point of season 1, it is far too soon to reveal Billy as President Bradford’s killer.Episode 4 can explain why the president thought Billy was dangerous, with the flashbacks likely focusing on Billy’s past beforeParadise’s cataclysmic event. Once Billy is presumably proven to be innocent, he and Xavier can share what they have each learned so far and continue their investigation into finding out who killed their boss as the intrigue continues to build inParadise.
