4/5
Paradise’s hot take: Never. Trust. The Mailman. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire Mar 21
7/10
The episode is a little basic in its construction, but "The Mailman" has enough heart and beautiful moments to remind us that good people do bad things. Go to Full Review Caitlin Wyneken Tell-Tale TV Mar 12
4.5/5
I am enjoying the expanded landscape of the show in its second season, though I worry it’s going be difficult to keep track all these new characters. Then again, many of them seem to be getting killed off just as quickly. Go to Full Review Whitney Evans TV Fanatic Mar 10
4.5/5

9.5/10
The Mailman was yet another reminder that few shows can match Paradise on the shocking cliffhanger front. Or to be more directly — they got us again. Go to Full Review Brittany Frederick TVBrittanyF.com Mar 9
