More Critic Reviews for Goliath Season 1 All Critics (37) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (29) | Rotten (8) Given all the loose-ended, bizarro world TV dramas currently in play, it turns out to be a distinct pleasure to review a limited series with a linear storyline and a definitive ending. Oct 19, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Goliath isn't a groundbreaker by any means - it bears some resemblance to Glenn Close's Damages - but it's a solidly entertaining legal thriller that benefits enormously from Billy Bob Thornton's strong lead Oct 14, 2016 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic If you're struggling with all the sci-fi weirdness of Westworld and never quite got Orphan Black, you will love the straightforward thrills of Goliath. Dec 14, 2016 | Full Review… Sarah Kennedy Observer Top Critic What's there so far is... entertaining TV, but steady updates in the upcoming episodes could make Goliath truly mighty. Oct 14, 2016 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic As a hard-luck lawyer looking to get off the booze and back in the game, his McBride sounds like a stock character, except Thornton... creates someone who's anything but stock... He's the best reason to keep watching. Oct 13, 2016 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Bolstered by as A-list a cast as anything on TV (with the exception of Westworld perhaps) and tighter, less showy writing than we've come to expect from Kelley. Oct 13, 2016 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Each episode closes with a twist. Whether that twist is big or small, it gives viewers just enough of a push to want to continue disentangling something that runs a bit deeper than your average court case. Aug 26, 2018 | Full Review… Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) [Billy Bob Thornton] carries each scene, trope-laden as they may be (the drinking problem, the cheesy one-liners) with an effortless swagger that's both engaging and exciting. Dec 20, 2017 | Full Review… Jade Budowski Decider Compelling, gritty crime series has nudity, cursing, drugs. Nov 22, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media Even great casts have their limits, and in the case of Goliath, they give this shaggy drama just enough electricity to keep interest without offering a genuine reason to care about what's going on.
