This article contains spoilers For “paradise”.

Mysterious boxes are known to be removed. You have to balance the great secret by presenting new elements and questions at the same time when you give answers so that the audience does not start sad and stop watching. And yet, you do not want the whole story to be clearly and the only thing about the secrets, as it creates a good Wikipedia recording, but not necessarily a good story. This is the difference between them “Lost” continues to capture the audience 20 years after its premiere and the “gap” is very slowing down Answer the silent question no one asked.

Then we have a “paradise” that has One of the best TV shows of the year And a great example of a mysterious box is made correctly. This is because the show refers to them not as riddles, but stories. The only big question this season – who kills President Bradford (James Marsden) in the first episode. This is a question that drives the whole story, inciting the incident that the secret service of Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) spends the whole season trying to answer. This is not what the question of what happened to the world, because it is a more background question that the characters already know, and the audience knows what will eventually find out. So the expectation becomes how “Paradise” will respond to this, not the answer itself.

That is, when “Paradise” introduced a small secret in the form of numbers written on a cigarette, which Bradford had before his death, felt that the viewer had to be forgotten until it was finally returned. When it happened, it linked all together.

In the first episode, Xavier finds a cigarette next to the Bradford’s body, which has a number 812092 on it, in the flock marked with a large, bloody “X”. Xavier, although smart enough to arrange a coup in a post-apocalyptic bunker in which they live is obviously not reasonable enough to explore what the president did not only hours to death, but also the days that lead to it. Although he asks a few people about the room to no avail, episode 5 shows that cal Bradford writes Apocalyptic events that led to people moved to the bunker.

When we find out about Bradford’s actions that lead to his death, we see him go to the local city library to make a mix for his son – apparently he went there. Such an important and memorable detail would be about what Xavier would have learned, you think, but apparently he is not so smart.

The final of the “Paradise” season we learned who killed President Bradfordand what the number means. It turns out that it was a number that fits the decimal system of Dyui, and Bradford hid something in the library book. In particular, he hid the transcripts, revealing the truth about the outside world in the biography of Peter Lawford, hangers for a rat. That’s why you always check the library, people.

The whole first season of “Paradise” is now going to Hula in the US and Disney+ internationally. Season 2 was Greenlit.
