Fans Critique ‘Paradise’ Star’s Choices Amid Character Crisis

LOS ANGELES, CA – Fans of the dystopian thriller ‘Paradise‘ are reacting strongly to a recent episode that has left them divided over the actions of Sterling K. Brown’s character, Xavier Collins. In the latest episode aired last week, viewers watched as Xavier, a U.S. Secret Service agent and a devoted father, confronts the billionaire Samantha ‘Sinatra’ Redmond, played by Julianne Nicholson.

Throughout the first season, Xavier’s journey to uncover the truth behind President Cal Bradford‘s death has captivated audiences. However, the climactic moment in episode seven, titled ‘The Day,’ has sparked a conversation among fans.

In this episode, Xavier comes face-to-face with Sinatra in her home, where he holds her at gunpoint. Just as he seems poised to take drastic action against her, she plays a recording of a woman’s voice claiming to be his wife, Terri, who he believed was dead. This twist has left viewers contemplating Xavier’s next move, with many hoping he would have taken more aggressive action against Sinatra.

Fans flooded social media with their reactions. One viewer remarked, ‘I thought, shoot her in the foot! Shoot her in the knee! Keep that up, she’ll tell you where Presley is.’ Others echoed similar frustrations, with quotes like, ‘Definitely shoot first, find family second,’ highlighting their desire for Xavier to make bolder choices.

In light of the uproar, Sterling K. Brown shared his awareness of the discussions online. He told an outlet, ‘It’s funny, online, I saw people say, ‘You should have at least shot her in the knee. You could have done something.’ And like there’s a part of me that’s like, I should have shot her in the knee.’

As fans await the next season, it’s clear that their voices are being heard, and many are hoping for a different approach in future confrontations. Only time will tell if their wishes will be fulfilled in the next chapter of ‘Paradise.’
