Paul T. Goldman's world is turned upside down when he finds out that his wife has been living a secret double life. His efforts to uncover the truth thrust him into a labyrinth of fraud, deception and criminality that transforms him, in his words, "from wimp to warrior." Director Jason Woliner tries to keep the series he thought he was making from going off the rails as Goldman stars in reenactments, changes the script and challenges Woliner's vision. The stranger-than-fiction true-crime docuseries blends fact and fiction, similarly to the director's work on "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm."

This comedic docuseries-with-an-asterisk may strike some as ethically questionable and others as too opaque to fuss over, but there's no denying that Paul T. Goldman makes an unforgettable impression.

4/5
You’re left wondering how Finkelman convinced Woliner to make an entire series out of his unremarkable nonsense with himself centre-screen. But, in the end, it feels like a fitting grift. Go to Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast 01/30/2023
Tells a bonkers true-life tale, as well as a variety of make-believe versions of it, until it hasn’t so much blurred the line between fiction and reality as madly scribbled all over it. Go to Full Review Liz Shannon Miller Consequence 01/02/2023
A-
Less a shocking tale of sex and crime and more a fascinating portrait of a man and his ambitions: his desire for fame, for revenge, or maybe just being seen. And seen he is, through a lens that is alternately dark, strange, bizarre, and very funny. Go to Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba 01/27/2023
It’s true crime falling into its most essential, escapist, voyeuristic, and heavily narrativized trap: this is just the story someone wanted to be true. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 01/11/2023
4/5
On the surface, this is Paul T. Goldman's story: zero to hero, a wronged man who discovered his grifter wife wasn't just fleecing him, she was at the center of a crime ring that spanned continents. Go to Full Review Brittany Knupper The Mary Sue 01/09/2023
The brilliance of Woliner as a director is that he is able to capture it all and present it in constantly unfolding layers of truth. We see Goldman’s story, we see Goldman telling his story, and then we see glimpses of what actually happened. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Erick T @RT03202093 09/22/2024 I loved this documentary! I feel it’s as good as Tiger King. The director put it together wonderfully. Allowed the viewer to get to know Paul and follow along with his narrative and kept the intrigue all the way until the end. Compelling from the first minute and very binge worthy. Perfect to have on as you work on projects, but also strong enough to sit and watch all the episodes. Paul T Goldman makes you say wow as the evidence is presented, and you find his mind breathe in the fantastical and ultimately he is relatable as a man and as a father. A surprising show and I am so glad to have seen it. I started a rotten tomatoes account just to leave this review. See more omovies H @RT93447962 02/20/2023 Some may struggle with the ethics of essentially tricking the film's lead into thinking he's making something he's not, but I for one could get past that and enjoy the series for what it is: the tale of a man using his unbridled creativity to reimagine his entire existence. I can safely say I haven't seen anything quite like Paul T. Goldman although I did detect a small amount of DNA from the hilarious Jimmy Kimmel produced 2003 film Windy City Heat. See more Kathleen S @RT55192352 01/25/2023 This series takes the viewer on a trip that feels drug-induced. It's memorable. It's sad, but not too sad. It's frustrating and human. See more B N @BNKhoa 01/23/2023 I think this show presents good evidence for several libel and slander cases against the main "character" -- perhaps in season 2. I have little empathy for him. Carl Hiaasen might not have thought up of such a story. See more BeautyCosmetic O @RT40480404 01/17/2023 What the hell did I just watch? I was under the impression that Tiger King was the most outrageous, cringy, dumb, idiotic, still unable to take my eyes of it.. and then comes along this ... what the hell man? 5/5 See more Sheri W @RT75609478 01/08/2023 I can't believe this was made into a series.
