Paradise (Hulu) - First two episodes, "Wildcat Is Down" and "Sinatra".
   This was not what I was expecting. I can't really say why, without
getting into spoilers. But this show has a whole "meta" storyline which
I'm not sure I either like, or buy for that matter. I was expecting a
simple "Secret Service murder mystery" a la "Shooter" here, but there's
more going on.

I'm getting the feeling that there's more going on than we've been
told. Almost like the story we've been given doesn't reflect reality.
There's the President with his tablet that gives him "news of the
world." What world? Then we had the kids looking at the planes which
just so happen to be numbered. The same sort of number our hero keeps
wondering about.  It really makes me start to think that everyone in
Paradise is being lied to for some reason. Plus if things were really
as bad as they said why would you be able to get out that easily.
After all we know the planes are just in a big (really big) aircraft
hanger.

   And I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. I think I am going to
wait for ep. #4 to drop before watching ep's #3 and #4, to help me decide.
   I was pleased as punch to see Cassidy Freeman pop up in this as the
"first lady" who seems to be stirring up the good kind of trouble.
   Others will be happy when Sarah Shahi shows up in episode #2.

Was pleased to see them both. Actually all three, as I don't recall
seeing "Sinatra" since her LAW & ORDER days.
