The internet is buzzing over Hulu’s latest hit, Paradise, a gripping thriller from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman. Just four episodes in, the series has skyrocketed in popularity, earning the coveted title of the #1 show across all streaming platforms.
Hulu, which rarely shares viewership statistics, revealed that its new show Paradise drew in an impressive 7 million views for its debut episode within its first nine days of availability. Unlike other platforms that count partial views, Hulu’s metrics are based on total viewing time divided by the episode’s runtime, making this achievement all the more significant.

The series unfolds with a blend of suspense and psychological intrigue, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. Many fans have taken to social media to express their shock at the twists, particularly at the end of Episode 1.
