★★★ (3 out of 4)

Now that you’ve all had chance to see the first three episodes of season 2 of “Paradise,” you know we’re finally out of the underground Colorado bunker where one percenters, led by dangerous diva Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson), shelter in a safe utopian bubble (Paradise) that feels more like fascism under an artificial sun. Don’t get me wrong, that nuclear winter from season 1 has pretty much left the world a rotting husk, but survivors have been detected.
