“Paradise” is a sensation. It’s the present of 2025 (to date). Bounce on X, Fb, Bluesky or TikTok, and also you’ll discover Black people discussing it. It could possibly be as a result of Sterling Ok. Brown is in it…however let’s be trustworthy: The true purpose this present has captured Black America’s consideration is due to the bonkers, unbelievable, preposterous, but scrumptious twists that occur practically each episode.
It’s practically not possible to speak about what’s occurring within the present with out, effectively, speaking about what’s occurring. So, in the event you’re too centered on what’s happening with Cardi B and Offset and don’t know what I’m speaking about, perceive that there are severe, main, gigantic spoilers forward. Cease studying, go browsing to Hulu, watch it and are available again.
Once more. I’m warning you. SPOILERS AHEAD!
Alright so…actual fast rundown: One thing occurred and individuals are compelled to dwell in an underground bunker. President Cal Bradford (James Marsden) and a choose few are all that’s left of humanity…we’re led to imagine for a lot of this primary season. The president is killed, and it seems to be like the girl who designed the bunker is behind it, however seems that she was not behind the assassination and somebody outdoors the bunker is behind the killing. TWIST! There are individuals outdoors the bunker.
Brown performs secret service agent Xavier Collins, who’s beloved by Cal. He’s the one who finds the President useless. Collins is grieving the spouse that he thought died as a result of she was not capable of make it to the bunker, however (TWIST!) she is seemingly alive.
There’s extra happening, however that’s the gist. Now, I’ve many questions. How did the spouse survive? The place is she? What’s the state of the world after the disaster? Did the Wu-Tang Clan survive, and will they nonetheless have the ability to do their remaining tour?
All legit questions. However the one which’s burning a gap in my soul is easy. Possibly it’s my love of Whodunnits…however who killed the president!?
I’ve two theories. One is enjoyable to consider. The opposite is completely what occurred. If I’m fallacious…effectively, I’m not fallacious.
Idea 1: Kane killed Cal
Cal introduced his father, a vicious man named Kane who’s affected by dementia, into the bunker with him. It could possibly be that one thing occurred between the 2 males and in a match of rage and confusion, the daddy killed the son…however that’s too easy.
The present is cleaning soap opera adjoining, so this is able to match in the event that they needed to go for that. However truthfully, that’s too simple to identify. I really feel they’re going to do an okie doke on us. In order that leads me to idea quantity 2…
Idea 2: It was Marsha
In Episode 7, we meet Marsha a high-ranking official who labored with the President since his days within the Senate. She and her son are left behind, and the digital camera focuses on her story and her angered face as a helicopter takes off whisking away the necessary individuals however leaving her behind.
Why would we spend a lot time together with her in that episode? Why would they go to such nice lengths to tell us her background? It’s as a result of they’re setting her up because the killer of the president and the first antagonist (villain) of the second season.
I’m proper about this. Belief me. All my theories are proper. I’m proper about Michael Jordan being higher than Lebron. And I’m proper that to place sugar in grits is an abomination to the ancestors. We’ll discover out tonight.
