Paradise is set in a serene community that is inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent individuals. The peace doesn’t last forever though when chaos explodes in the wake of a shocking murder and a high-stakes investigation. Brown’s character finds himself at the center of an investigation after he’s accused of murdering the former president.

A new series from Hulu is premiering next week called Paradise. There’s a great cast here in Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, Sarah Shahi, and Julianne Nicholson. It comes from Dan Fogelman, the creator/writer behind This Is Us, and also a couple of cult faves, Pitch and Galavant.

The political sci-fi thriller is a great sign for TV this year, though it routinely reveals itself to be better on paper than in practice.
