Paradise Lost

There are a lot of surprises in this show. People push limits and makes it even better to watch. Hope they continue to make more seasons.

I had not heard about this show and was surprised to find it binge-worthy. It is a crime drama with supernatural elements thrown in. The characters are all unique and the acting is done well. Nick Nolte still has it, and I hope if there is another season, that we will see more of him. It is hard for other actors to not pale in comparison to him, but the cast was quite good. This show covers many things - murder, mental illness, clairvoyance, parental relations, spousal relations, political corruption, criminal justice/injustice, etc. Some of the legal/investigation stuff was a bit too drawn out.

Some of the characters are so disgusting that I cannot watch them just listen. Not one sympathetic to hang on to, all weird. The Deep South is portrayed as hell on earth and the people are all demons to a greater or lesser degree. Hollywood Politically correct in nauseating and bigoted way. Worth watching to see and understand how depraved the film industry have become.

Entertaining watch with a mystery deeply intertwined with character relationships in a familiar but still satisfying setting. Is this show a groundbreaking new look at the mystery genre with small towns full of dark secrets? No and I doubt that there's really something remarkably new that the shows with a similar setting can bring. However, this was still a really enjoyable watching experience, with a good actor ensemble and grounded character drama that tangles with somewhat mystical aspects of Paradise Lost. You like the good guys and love to hate the bad ones. The setting is beautiful and camera work is alright, really enjoyed the music, though I'm not a big country fan. And the ending definitely makes you wonder in what direction the show would go next. Waiting for it to get distributed to other networks, because Spectrum's exclusivity definitely reduces the number of viewers and I'd really love to discuss this show with others.

I was skeptical about the show but somehow it wormed its way into my psyche. Every time I thought I had it figured out it just diverted into a different direction. It was unpredictable and interesting. I really hope they bring it back for a second season.
