The Hulu series 'Paradise' has been characterized as a climate-change cautionary tale that also incorporates elements of character-driven storytelling and twists reminiscent of 'The Truman Show.' President Cal Bradford, portrayed by James Marsden, indulges in nostalgia through his affinity for '80s music, creating tension with his teenage son, Jeremy, who seems less than impressed. The series effectively uses these pop culture references to highlight a contrast between the devastation of the world and the simpler times of the past. Music plays a crucial role in establishing the thematic underpinning and emotional resonance throughout the season.
"The Hulu series can accurately be described as a climate-change cautionary tale, or a character-driven puzzle-box show, or a Truman Show-esque drama rife with twists."
"One of the running themes in Paradise's just-wrapped first season is that President Cal Bradford... has terrible taste in music that he insists on jamming into the earholes of his teenage son."
