3/5

So, no, the second episode of Paradise does not have much to do with the bunker from season one, either. It does, however, wisely juggle the bleak story of Xavier in Arkansas with a much sweeter flashback to the first time Xavier met his wife, Teri.

6/10

"Mayday" gives us more of a focus on Xavier, but spends the majority of its time in flashbacks. Unfortunately, in a short season, this feels like a filler episode.

8/10

Despite some out of character risky decisions from our hero, this was another solid episode to get the season’s agendas rolling.

4.5/5

It certainly makes for satisfying drama, but it’s also kind of frustrating to feel like every single character is somehow at odds with every single other one.

If this is the pace season two is aiming for across all eight episodes, we could be in for a real bumpy ride.

Enter Paradise Season 2 Episode 2, which was Xavier’s hour from start to finish. And man, it was really good to have him back.
