As usual I'm probably starting a thread when there's already one, but just in case there isn't, I wanted to say what a brilliant series Goliath is starring Billy Bob Thornton. If you haven't heard of it then it's on Amazon.

It's not very often that a story really gets me involved, but this David E Kelley story really does tick all the boxes for me. It's like a good book, once you pick it up you don't want to put it down until you reach the end. Highly recommended.

I have just finished the final episode, it was really good. Billy Bob Thornton was excellent.

Hopefully there will be a second season.

Usually hate anything David Kelley with a passion, but am quite digging this series, especially the @@@@ in the #### ep when they're c%%%%ing the $$$$

Just started watching tonight, got through the first 3 episodes and trying hard not to watch any more! I want to save some for later as it is that good. Billy Bob Thornton is a class act and never disappoints.

Watched the first episode, slow but just about interesting, lots of uninteresting dialogue with nothing to do with the case other than to spread out the episode. Now just watched episode two & nothing happened, just talk, talk, talk, & 90% nothing to do with the story & nothing to keep me interested. I think something happened at the end but I had fallen asleep & had a more interesting dream. In spite of this I will give it one more try, but it needs to move.

By the seem of it, this just isn't going to be your sort of show.

If you feel that nothing happened in the first two episodes then your taste in viewing must be for a faster moving story instead of well told and involving one as this is.

I watched it all and absolutely loved it. Billy Bob and David Kelley? Sure fire hit.

I gave up on this because of all the smoking in it.

4 close ups of people lighting fags in the first 5 minutes, horrible and unnecessary.

Strange reason to give up on it.

You will be pleased to know that I carried on watching & in spite of the slow first couple of shows I am now hooked.

I thought it was a great series, Billy Bob Thornton as Billy McBride with a brilliant set of female characters around him including Mario Bello and Nina Arianda.
