Paradise

Hulu's Paradise reunites This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown and creator Dan Fogelman for a thriller series that's equal parts twisty, ridiculous, and fun. To say too much about the show is to risk spoiling its biggest surprise, so for now, all I'll say is that it takes place in the aftermath of the murder of U.S. President Cal Bradford (James Marsden, Jury Duty). His head of security, Xavier Collins (Brown), is on the case — but he's also the number-one suspect.

If Paradise's initial political conspiracy conceit doesn't quite win you over, I'd still recommend watching so you can experience the premiere's bonkers twist for yourself. It truly kicks Paradise into an entirely different gear, to the point that I wrote my entire review about how the twist "took me from 'meh' to 'this rocks, actually' within the span of [Paradise's] very first episode." Seriously, brace yourself for a damn fun time. — B.E.
