<\/p>\nThe explosive first season of Paradise was one of the most promising post-apocalyptic shows in years and that has been cemented in season two.<\/p>\n
Before you read on, there are spoilers in this piece if you are not up to date with Paradise.<\/p>\n
Six episodes in, season two is showing us what the outside world is like, and it is just as deadly as the bunker in Colorado.<\/p>\n
Season one first portrayed itself as a murder mystery as Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K Brown) found himself \u00a0investigating the assassination of the US president Cal Bradford (James Marsden).<\/p>\n
It then emerged that an extinction level climate disaster had left the US comprising of a select bunch of survivors in a futuristic bunker in Colorado, a ‘paradise’.<\/p>\n
However, we have since learnt there are survivors outside, and they are keen to get in.<\/p>\n
This has introduced new cast members to the already impressive mix, including Shailene Woodley, who plays Annie.<\/p>\n
She mets with Xavier, who is on a crusade to reunite for his wife Teri (Enuka Okuma).<\/p>\n

Back in Colorado, \u00a0vice president Baines (Matt Malloy) is back in charge and it’s safe to say the power has gone to his head, evidenced by a crackpot idea to use precious power to make the sun look brighter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the latest episode, viewers learnt more of the backstory surrounding the ruthless, and psychotic, killer agent Jane Driscoll (Nicole Brydon Bloom).<\/p>\n
With a caravan of sinister outsiders camped outside the bunker and demanding entry, Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) has made Jane her point person and it’s safe to say this will be a big plotline in the last two episodes of the season.<\/p>\n
Two episodes doesn’t seem enough, and the success of the show is obvious in the fact it has already been commissioned for a third season.<\/p>\n
