They left it on a good note, where it was crazy but still believable. Paradise Lost is a 45 minute drama-mystery starring Josh Hartnett as Yates Forsythe, Bridget Regan as Frances Forsythe and Nick Nolte as Judge Forsythe. I hate that it ended on somewhat of a cliff hanger, but also maybe that's a good thing, as I find sometimes these types of shows can only be good for so long before they have to start turning crazier and crazier to up the ante. While I loved the show, I can imagine it could have been fleshed out even more, which would have made it even better. I read a Josh Hartnett interview where he expressed it was one of the best scripts he ever read but was disappointed with the execution. It was all the things I like - small town secrets, eccentric town people, mystery and a touch of supernatural and a lot of conflicting characters and agendas. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Southern gothic, but this show had a great mystery and vibe to it. I tuned in mainly to see the house and where everything was filmed but was addicted after the first episode. I made a note to look for it and forgot about it until I saw it advertised on Spectrum. I had been looking forward to this show since I happened to visit the plantation house they used as their house in the show just the week after they finished wrapping filming and the tour guide was telling us about it.
