Welcome to Paradox

I was pleasantly surprised to accidentally stumble across this series on Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, like most good and innovative TV series, it was cancelled after only one season. I'm not sure how I missed this when it was first aired, but I'm glad that it's available on Amazon Prime Video!

Like all great anthology series not only have some of these episodes inspired now established genre tropes, but Welcome to the Paradox is window into many current societal woes.

Low ratings may be suggested reason why this show was canceled, but with the very first episode being a scathing critique of commercialism and the media, I wouldn't doubt if sponsors didn't approve the content.

Isaac Asimov said "Science fiction is the history of the future."

Not every episode is strong, some have messages I don't agree with, but it's a solid series that deserves recognition.

I'm giving it 10 stars to up its average.

I am with you. This was one of the shockingly best Sci-Fi efforts I've ever seen since the earlier and later Outer Limits series. It is creative and innovative and you're right the production quality is far beyond what you would expect for a TV series.

I have six of the episodes of that series on video tape. I know in my overly vast collection of VHS tapes I have more but I'm still searching for them. I am currently transferring what I do have onto DVD. If you have ANY episodes on VHS or DVD please contact me directly at traveller004@hotmail.com and perhaps we can trade and both have more shows. Hopefully I will have at least one or two episodes that you do not and perhaps you have some that I do not.

This show was actually a decent SF anthology series, like "Outer Limits" in many ways. The production values were the highest that I've seen in a show of this type ... maybe that's why it went away so soon; maybe its budgets exceeded its revenues. Too bad, because the scripts were generally very good, the talent involved ranged from adequate to excellent, and the sets were EXTREMELY well done. In other reviews, I've mentioned instances where the costumes were so awful that they distracted from the movie; here, the sets where "Paradox" was filmed were so good that they were sometimes better at suspending my disbelief and getting me interested in the story than the scripts or the actors were.

I don't know if "Paradox" still exists in syndication anywhere, since it was, I believe, only shown on the Sci-Fi Channel, which no longer carries it; if you happen to find a listing for it, please let me know, because I'd like to catch some of the episodes I missed.

The stories are ok. It's a decent enough distraction. But high budget it is not Robots and God's are designated by silvery makeup in various episodes. A bit campy.
