5 burning questions ‘Paradise’ Season 2 finale must answer
'Paradise' Season 2 raises more questions ahead of its gripping finale. The Hulu post-apocalyptic thriller ended its penultimate episode with a thrilling finish. The show has been split into the before-and-after events following the apocalypse. Fans will know that the major question is the importance of 'Alex' and who the entity is. With this, we look at the major queries ahead of the finale, titled 'Exodus'.
Who is Alex?
Circling back to the big question, is Alex a person? Or is Alex a place for Henry Miller's tech? 'Paradise' has used the name in flashbacks and in the present-day events
Why does Link believe killing Alex is a priority?
Link (Thomas Doherty) believes that killing Alex is a necessary move to restart the world. This would suggest that Alex is a threat that Link believes to be neutralized.
Was Henry Miller's death connected to Alex?
The reveal was that Miller was adamant not to part with his technology. That would mean the bunker's power is supplied by the technology he has created. So, is Alex related to Miller's refusal?
Venus Syndrome and the bunker's timeline
A supervolcano event will surely alter the atmosphere, making it a completely uninhabitable place. This serves as the major reason to build the bunker. This puts the focus firmly back on how time is scarce.
Alex and Season 3
It remains to be seen if Alex's identity and purpose become a major narrative for Season 3. If Alex is indeed connected to Miller's technology, the entire purpose of the bunker changes.
In related news, series star Thomas Doherty teased the explosive finale. "It’s definitely jaw-dropping, for sure. I remember reading it,” Doherty told Decider. "It’s an explosive ending." This was echoed by Julianne Nicholson — "One of the things about this show that I’m so admiring of is the editing, and all that goes on in post-production. Some visual things happen — similar to our Episode 7 last year — that are, as Thomas says, jaw-dropping. I feel like with every question answered, five more come up. So it leaves you satisfied, but wanting more." 'Paradise' Season 2 finale drops March 30 on Hulu.
