Review of Paraíso

Paraíso (2021–2022)
9/10
Dark, weird, unique, and very, very good.

This show draws immediate comparisons to Stranger Things, and while there are some inherent similarities (synth soundtrack, kids on bikes, supernatural forces, parents searching for missing kids) at the end of the day, it's very much it's own show. This show is also a lot darker than Stranger Things. It's very somber and dark for the entire season. That being said, the mystery is really interesting, the characters are great, the score is awesome, the cinematography is beautiful, and the acting and direction are top notch. My only complaints are that the subtitles were kind of amateur and the ending wasn't the happiest and was pretty inconclusive. But hey, that's what Season 2 is for. I'll definitely be looking forward to it. Great show and absolutely worth checking out if you're a fan of Stranger Things or not.
