Paradise's Finale Reveals All the Secrets
The eighth and final episode of Hulu's Paradise opens with a flashback. We're taken 12 years into the past and introduced to the team of construction workers that built the underground world known as Paradise. (They're actually told that they're building a 'recycling facility,' but we know better.) Everything seems to be going according to plan until the project manager, Trent (Ian Merrigan), discovers a toxic chemical on site that makes everyone sick. After expressing his concerns to the higher-ups, he's immediately fired and told that the people behind the project have intelligence that something catastrophic is coming, and that messing with them is inadvisable. The rest of the team is then instructed to continue working, despite the hazardous conditions.
Trent suspects that something serious is afoot, so he does a deep dive into the project and discovers the president's connection to Paradise. He tries reaching out to different media outlets to get more eyes on the story, but no one will take him seriously. So, he takes matters into his own hands and attempts to assassinate the president (James Marsden), but ends up shooting Xavier (Sterling K. Brown) instead. Trent is then sent to prison, where he devises a new plan to get the job done.
Fast-forward to the present day, and Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) is playing a voice recording of Xavier's wife Teri, to prove that she's still alive somewhere in the old world. She also warns him that his daughter Presley is in danger. He assumes the worst, and though he calls off his whole mission of upending Paradise, he's still on the search for the president's killer.
Xavier's hunch leads him to the local library, where he finds a book, The Man Who Kept the Secrets, which also happens to be the title of this episode. Inside, he finds notes from the president that unveil all the classified information regarding Paradise, including how to escape. But in the middle of him flipping through everything, a man comes up behind him and hits him over the head. Surprise! It's Trent, or as he's known down in Paradise, the librarian.
When Xavier finally wakes up, Trent explains everything to him. While he was in prison, the world ended (as we saw in the previous episode), and all the prisoners broke out. To get into Paradise, Trent stole the identity of a librarian who was already on the list and found a random girl to assume the role of his wife. While down in Paradise, he grew to like his new life there and completely forgot about his assassination mission. That is, until the president came into the library one day, and all of Trent's memories came flooding back. He knew he had to finish what he started. We then see how it all went down: Trent hit the president in the head with a blunt object, they fought a bit, and then he hit him again, leaving him dead in his bedroom. When he's done telling Xavier everything, he takes the book and runs off.
Robinson (Krys Marshall) finds Xavier in the library, and they go looking for Trent. They find him at the very top of the bunker. Trent then goes on a little rant about how the powers-that-be made the new world a prison. 'Paradise… what a fucking joke,' he says, before jumping off the scaffolding to his death.
Shortly after, Xavier goes to Sinatra to find out what happened to his daughter. Sinatra believes that Jane killed her and begins to apologize to him, but then Jane comes out of nowhere and shoots her. This is all because, earlier in the episode, Jane asked Sinatra if she could have the president's Wii, and was turned down. Jane then tells Xavier that Presley is safe at home.
When Xavier is reunited with his kids, they urge him to go find their mom. At the end of the episode, he takes the book with all the president's notes and boards a plane. 'I'm coming, baby,' he says as the engine starts roaring. Is his wife Teri really alive? Will Sinatra recover from the gunshot wound? Who's in charge of Paradise for the time being? To answer all of these burning questions and more, we'll just have to wait for season 2.

What is flow state? Here's the science behind top athletes' laser focus.
Pro climber Steph Davis climbing "Hidden Gem" near Moab Utah. The athlete often experiences a flow state during her intensive free climbs. Photograph by Chris Noble Steph Davis had reached the halfway point in her ropeless climb up the Sister Superior—a slim, 6,037-foot-tall natural sandstone tower. Surrounded by miles of red rocks, there was nothing but her grip strength keeping her from falling thousands of feet down into the open desert. As a professional rock climber, Davis often does free solo climbing, which means leaving her harness and ropes at home. Her plan on this climb, which took place in 2010, was to reach the top, then jump off with a parachute. As she climbed the tower in southeast Utah, the holds for her hands started getting smaller, and she was getting tired. She felt mentally distracted, and took a moment to pause. Suddenly, a feeling of calm energy washed over her. Her body seemed to take control, bringing her to the top. (Why a pair of adventurers decided to make their treacherous climb much harder.) Davis had entered a flow state, an experience that athletes, musicians, scientists, and artists say they tap into when they're confronting challenging situations. In this state, a person becomes completely engrossed in what they're doing and achieves a loss of self-consciousness while also feeling completely in control—a mindset that actor Chris Hemsworth leverages in Limitless: Live Better Now (currently streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, and on National Geographic starting August 25). In episode two, the 41-year-old enters a flow state while ascending the Luzzone Dam, an artificial climbing wall in the Swiss Alps that, at approximately 540 feet tall, is the world's highest. Though most of us likely don't find ourselves hanging onto a rock or a climbing wall hundreds to thousands of feet in the air, life's daily challenges can feel equally insurmountable. Can entering a flow state help push through all the difficulties you might encounter daily? While the mindset is a rewarding experience that comes from taking on life's hardest tasks, it also requires a certain set of conditions in place in order to be activated. What is flow state? In 1975, Hungarian-American psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi became fascinated with how artists lost themselves in their work. His research found similar experiences reported by chess players, dancers, mountain climbers, athletes, and musicians. Csíkszentmihályi called the engrossed attention he observed a 'flow state' after many people he interviewed said they felt like they were floating and being carried by the flow. (Your body changes in fascinating ways during the first 10 minutes of exercise.) Regardless of profession or hobby, the states of mind these people entered all sounded similar. They lost their sense of time, became impervious to pain or fatigue, and achieved a laser focus on what they were doing. One later report from 1996 asked professional athletes what flow was like. 'You're just so absorbed in what you're doing that you're not really aware of what is happening around you,' one tracker runner said. A javelin thrower experienced time slowing down, saying, 'When I went to throw it, it was like things were in slow motion, and I could feel the position I was in, and I held my position for a long time." Based on his interviews, Csíkszentmihályi determined that to enter a flow state, a person first had to have a clear intention in mind; then, they had to be put under pressure, but not too much or too little. People entered flow states when they were pushed to their limits and had the expertise to accomplish their goal. 'It's a balance between your skills and the challenge,' says Abigail Marsh, a neuroscientist at Georgetown University who worked with Hemsworth on the show. The science behind the flow state Over the years, scientists have come up with different theories about what happens in the brain during the flow states. These theories fall into roughly two camps, says John Kounios, a cognitive neuroscientist at Drexel University. Some believe that flow states happen during periods of intense focus, when the brain is exerting more attention and greater effort to exclude everything but the task at hand. An alternate view argues that the brain calms down during flow, rather than ramps up, allowing a person's skills to take over. In 2024, Kounios and David Rosen, another cognitive neuroscientist, brought 32 jazz guitarists to a lab to study the location and intensity of electrical activity in the brain while they were in flow. Some of the guitarists were newer at playing, and some had played at an expert level for years. The researchers asked them to improvise solo performances and report back whether they fell into flow states, all while being measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain. The experienced musicians had a higher number of flow states that were also more intense. The scientists then compared what was happening in the brain when musicians said they had high-flow performances versus low-flow ones, and the difference was notable—there was less activity in the frontal lobes during flow states. The frontal lobes are responsible for executive processing, which organizes thoughts and behaviors, focuses attention, and forms goals. 'If the flow state was a matter of heightened concentration [and] focus, we would have seen greater activity in the frontal lobes when a person was in a state of flow,' Kounios says. The more experienced musicians also had activity in brain regions associated with hearing and vision during their flow states, while the less experienced musicians didn't show this activity. Kounious says it was as if the seasoned jazz players had their own brain networks for improvising that they relied upon, while at the same time releasing conscious control in the frontal parts of the brain. Kounios believes the study's findings show that flow takes place when the brain lets go and expertise takes over. 'It doesn't become something you have to consciously, deliberately do,' he says. How you can achieve a flow state Some amount of expertise is required for flow, whether it be during something thrilling like rock climbing, or a less intense activity, like building model ships or putting up drywall. As long as a challenge you're confronting demands that you utilize your expertise, that's when the flow state can be activated. If you're attempting a task that you're not skilled in at all—playing a concerto at Carnegie Hall as a beginner, for example—then you're more likely to experience frustration or fear instead. (Here's what fear does to your brain and your body.) However, there's no way to rush a flow state—it's something that comes on its own time. When you first learn a new skill, it's unlikely you'll experience flow; but if you turn away at the first sign of challenge or stress, you won't be able to increase your expertise to tap into those flow states later on. 'The flow state is the reward you get for tackling a difficult challenge,' says Marsh. You can still be highly focused and engaged in activities without needing to be an expert, however; Kounios calls this absorption. When you see a beautifully shot movie, read the end of a thrilling novel, or even clean out your garage, you might find yourself absorbed. Rather than chasing after flow, Marsh recommends thinking about what hobbies you genuinely like to do, keeping in mind that flow states are an eventual pleasant side effect of doing these activities that you find valuable and rewarding. (Your brain shrinks after 40. Learning a musical instrument can reverse it.) After all, the best way to gain expertise is to take on new and difficult experiences. It's not satisfying when a climb is too easy, Davis says. 'The goal in climbing is to get into the flow state,' though climbers call it 'sending.' When she's climbing at her limit, there's nothing better than entering flow and reaching her goal. In Utah, when she reached the top of that summit, 'I just had this incredible sense of well-being: Everything's right with the world. Everything feels good," she says. "It's a very euphoric feeling—you want to stay in that feeling for as long as you can.' "Limitless: Live Better Now" is currently streaming on Disney+ and Hulu and on National Geographic starting August 25. Check local listings.

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox on Disney+ review: twists itself in knots
'Story is a powerful thing,' intones the voiceover during an episode of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, a new TV miniseries produced by Amanda Knox herself alongside Monica Lewinsky. Who has the power to tell their story – or others' – is the issue at stake. Knox has described Lewinsky as her comrade in their 'sisterhood of ill repute'; this eight-part show on Hulu (streaming on Disney+ in the UK) is their attempt to set the record straight over what exactly happened almost two decades ago. But when the story has become so tangled in its retellings, can anything unpick it? Knox, 37, was wrongly convicted of murdering her British roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007, along with her boyfriend of just a week, Raffaele Sollecito. Excoriated in the British press as the she-devil Foxy Knoxy, she spent eight years on trial and four in prison. Two memoirs and a Netflix documentary later, she's still attempting to clear up the smear campaign against her. Is a TV show up to that mammoth task? Doubtful, but you can empathise with Knox here. Hollywood has already had so many bites of her apple – the pulpy Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy in 2011, then Matt Damon's Stillwater (2021), which Knox claims fictionalised her experience without her consent. Everyone's told her story on screen except her, until now. Grace Van Patten is fantastic as Knox, capturing not just her mannerisms but her unfortunate blend of brash Americanism and kookiness that gave the police and the press so much room to twist the knife. Each episode requires multiple emotional nadirs, yet you feel the fear, the distress, the choking grief with every micro expression. It's an all the more impressive performance given Van Patten came to the table late in production, after Margaret Qualley bowed out in 2024 due to scheduling conflicts. The whole cast is rock solid but too often the narrative eats the plot. Kercher's killer, Rudy Guede, is only alluded to in the second episode and doesn't appear until the fourth. By immersing the viewer in the confusion of the case as it unfolded in real time, those unfamiliar with the facts may lose their way. It should have been cut and dried. Guede was a drifter with a history of armed burglary and violence against women, who had previously been invited into the downstairs neighbour's home. His fingerprints and DNA alone were all over the crime scene. The jaw-dropping mishandling of the case feels like an exaggeration on screen. The phone tapping, physical assault during interrogation, a faked HIV test to weasel a list of sexual partners out of Knox. Sometimes the truth is so much stranger than fiction it is hard to comprehend. Blink and you miss the cross-contamination between evidence items alluded to in a quick panning shot. Kercher's role is handled sensitively – we never see her dead, only vibrant with life – but the show lingers over Knox's discovery of the crime scene, rather than the tragedy of a young woman losing her life. Understandably, Kercher's family were against this show ever being made. I doubt they will see this portrayal as anything more than another self-centred episode from Knox. Twisted Tale also extends more grace than it should to Giuliano Mignini (Francesco Acquaroli), Knox's prosecutor, who came up with the sordid and deranged theories about sex games gone wrong based off little more than a vibrator and Catholic guilt. Yes, Mignini felt persecuted by the public humiliation he experienced over his theories on the Monster of Florence case. The man sees satanic sex and death cults everywhere – that's far weirder than anything Knox said or did. I found Knox's memoir of her choice to make peace with Mignini incredibly moving. This show just re-ignited my petty loathing for him. Twisted Tale takes some interesting creative swings that brings Knox's oddball personality to life. Travel leaflets come to life with animations beckoning her to Europe. Subtitles for rapid-fire Italian fall away when she becomes confused during an intense legal meeting. A jury member pops his own ears clean off his as the bizarre trial set-up is explained via voiceover. Knox and Sollecito (Giuseppe De Domenico) were tried at the same time as Patrick Lumumba's case against Knox for her false confession – made under extreme duress – that implicated him in the crime. More of this zany energy would have been welcome, instead of the noir-ish police rooms where no one seems to have been able to locate the overhead light switch. The Italian investigators are cartoonishly evil, brooding in shadows as they come up with obviously stupid theories. But then again, the British media did swallow those lies whole. Tabloid hacks get off lightly in comparison, as brainless bottom feeders dashing off salacious copy on the hoof. For true accuracy, there should have been some cuts back to newsrooms where top editors salivated over slut-shaming front pages. Ultimately, Twisted Tale never seems quite sure of its audience. Americans will enjoy its hero's journey and cliffhanger true crime drama moments, but may falter at the hurdle of subtitles. Italians will baulk at the way their countrymen are portrayed, despite so much of it happening in their language. Brits will shudder at the melodrama of it all. A different edit would have made this show excellent. As it is, it gets tangled trying to escape the morass of all that's already been said about Knox. Even if the story has been told by the person who lived it, there will be plenty who refuse to see it as the definitive edition. The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is streaming on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland
