In Summary:
Sinners Paradise initially looked intriguing from the artwork I saw online, but once the package was in hand it had me wary. Watching the show only made it more visible how convoluted and nonsensical it all was, but it was also a show that lacked the kind of excitement that you’d want from an adult show. Or at least what I wanted from an adult show. Severed appendages, bloody moments and more populate the show which has a big epic plot to it but a really poor sense of execution and story development. With unappealing characters, character designs, sex and story, Sinners Paradise sets up a first episode that has you looking at the clock or wondering if you blacked out during part of it because of how it changes at times. Maybe it makes sense to someone, but not to me unfortunately.
