We are not okay after watching Episode 7 of Hulu’s hit series, “Paradise.”
The Dan Fogelman drama, starring Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, and Julianne Nicholson, is set in an exclusive, seemingly serene community where some of the world’s most influential people reside.
But that tranquility is shattered when a shocking murder triggers a high-stakes investigation.

While “Paradise” has captivated audiences from the start, Episode 7, aptly titled “The Day,” may have just redefined peak television.
The emotional gut punch left viewers reeling, and naturally, Twitter had thoughts.
Below, check out 21 totally accurate tweets that perfectly capture the emotional rollercoaster of “Paradise” Episode 7.
If the president tells you that your wife shouldn’t go to Atlanta, what more information do you need?? Xavier played himself. Cal tried to warn him! He did what he could, shit. #ParadiseHulu pic.twitter.com/6HzpxWYfLv

Sterling K. Brown is an exceptional actor, the way he draws you in with an emotional scene from his eyes to his face is art. Give this man ALL THE AWARDS!! I want to see him sweep next awards season #ParadiseHulu #Paradise pic.twitter.com/6NFULeEs3C

I know he already has an insane resume but his role as Cal in #ParadiseHulu may be the best of his career. pic.twitter.com/P9jwJUHtv3

Ok Xavier, with context, I’m no longer mad at Cal. You were warned! If there’s ever a time to put your foot down with your spouse, it’s now. I would’ve broken my husband’s leg. You cannot be traveling when there’s a credible end of world threat. That simple. #ParadiseHulu pic.twitter.com/RXt0kEvfpn

In all fairness, he told you the Atlanta trips needed to stop. You didn't speak up. You knew enough to know her being too far from DC wasn't safe. It's just easier to blame Cal. #paradisehulu #paradise pic.twitter.com/YPhjqZYxcA

Now that I know the real Cal (he tried to do the right thing in an impossible situation) I’m extra pissed he was murdered like who tf did that shit omg #ParadiseHulu pic.twitter.com/kl6YpJRrp4

Cal is the only one who really had a heart in hindsight. All of this broke him!He did what he thought would give everyone at least a chance of survival instead of no option to survive. #ParadiseHulu pic.twitter.com/MjoZI5nVzD

When and how did Sinatra get the power over Cal in Paradise? She didn’t have it on that plane! #paradisehulu #paradise pic.twitter.com/cioq0bI3CJ

#Paradise is literally nothing like I expected, it’s the greatest show I’ve seen in years. Genuinely the best end of the world dystopia of this generation. Please I need like five seasons 😭 #ParadiseHulu pic.twitter.com/c6wQE5Q3EW
