Just finished the first ep
Funny enough I started writing my thoughts/theory here before the last 5 minutes and this is what I had typed:
then the last 5 minutes happened and they outright revealed all that
To be fair, they weren’t exactly subtle setting it up so it’s my fault for not waiting til the end and just started typing and babbling before the end of the episode
I’m very interested in seeing where this goes

I’m spitballing here based on first ep
is there like a viral outbreak/doomsday scenario looming?
- the president says “the world is 19 times more fukked than anyone knows”
- the president also says to Collins that not having any more kids is a smart bet/choice right now
- before he’s sworn in into whatever secrets are on that tablet, the lady says “do you have kids? You’ll want to hear this”
- there’s something happening in Colorado
- he’s seemingly incapable of sleeping since
- the show title “Paradise” lands itself to a premise of promised land (potentially post-catastrophe?)
I think the shows going to take a sci-fi turn

The Iranian picked all 25,000
- looking at them demographics...
- It does beg the question of how to deal with race in fiction. Star Trek gave them the visual basis, but Star Trek was literal about being in a non-racist society....I digress

I'm liking the series so far. But anytime you do a Sci Fi series, that's trying to be on some Lost/Silo/"Mystery Box" steez - the world building has to be impeccable, on top of it being a good drama.
- Food
- How are they growing that type amount of food for 25,000 people (and the population might grow...)
- Grocery Store looking like Whole Foods/Trader Joes
- Keto Shelf
- organic shelf
- fresh Water
- Sewage and water treatment
- Trash disposal
- No insects? Really? Have the writers never been on a construction site? In a brand new building?
- Why exactly would the billionaires remain in charge?
