Not bad. The dialogue was a bit rough, but pilots are always exposition heavy and the premise is promising. 

I guessed there would be a twist, because there always is these days, but even though they mentioned the mountain town, I didn’t expect it to pop up so soon.  

Could be interesting, if things don’t get too convoluted.

Sterling K Brown is a strong lead—that monologue at the end gave me major Randall vibes and now that I know it’s the same creator as This is Us, some of the writing quirks are obvious, though Paradise is less mawkishly emotional so far. I like the rest of the cast too. Interested to see what Sarah Shahi’s character does. She was great in Person of Interest but I haven’t been able to get into her other work so I hope she has a substantial role here.

But seriously, 25000 people only, living in Stepford village, and they could not save a pair of ducks?

Where did you get 25,000 from?  I rewatched the end scene, and there's only talk about an underground city, but no population given. 

This info is mentioned in the first 5 minutes of Episode 2 — Sinatra. 

Since this topic belongs to Episode 1, it should be spoiler-tagged.

They had mechanical ducks on the pond. A guy was changing batteries (?)

Sorry, I meant did we see any real animals?  I saw the fake duck part.  I was just going back to your original comment:

I was wondering if this wasn't a "why didn't they save the (real) ducks" moment, but rather, due to whatever limitations of living beneath a mountain, maybe there are no animals there whatsoever.  It would suck to let all animals perish in whatever happened, but having free range animals in that type of environment could also get messy.  Maybe there's a separate "Noah's Ark" type of underground animal shelter...  

@Snazzy Daisy Thanks for clearing up the 25,000 bit.  I don't think it spoiled anything, I was just wondering if it was in some clip that was then edited out or what.
