Never has general-knowledge TV looked nearly so offbeat, droll, bohemian, and Hollywood A-list. Go to Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times 11/13/2019
Goldblum seems very much in life the talkative eccentric hepcat he is in pictures - it's impossible to tell when he's on script or just telling you what he knows. I would subscribe just to watch more of this. Go to Full Review Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 11/11/2019
He is, genuinely or performatively, presenting himself as exactly the person you'd hope or think he is and no matter where he goes, people are excited or bemused to be in the presence of his Jeff Goldblum-ness. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 10/22/2022
... Quirky and eccentric, just like the host. Go to Full Review Keith Watson Metro Newspaper (UK) 03/25/2020
4/5
'If I were the meat in a Korean barbecue, what would I be?' is the kind of kooky question actor Jeff Goldblum (above, left) pops out as he lets his butterfly mind flutter where it may in this haphazard but endlessly entertaining documentary series. Go to Full Review Deirdre Molumby entertainment.ie 03/25/2020
It's a thought-provoking series, and loaded with personality. How no one thought of giving Jeff Goldblum his own show before this is beyond me. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

derek l @RT51637195 04/06/2022 The World According to Jeff Goldblum is a rather interesting documentary series that highlights parts of the interesting histories and to explore what made these so iconic and special within today's world from sneakers to ice cream. See more 01/05/2021 So fantastic. Where so many things are about appearance or drama, this is just about learning a few weird facts about things you k ow while being endlessly entertained by a man that is so unbelievably odd and quirky you cannot help but to smile and melt for him a little. Highly recommend See more 07/05/2020 The world according to Jeff Goldblum (i.e. mostly California or Texas) involves picking a random item, stroking chin, going to a fan festival dedicated to that thing, eyeballs dart side to side, idea's coming (what ideas? Doesn't matter), state the obvious (e.g. ice cream reminds people of childhood or tattooes are about your identity). There is little to learn in this series besides Jeff Goldblum's mannerisms. See more ma'ark t @RT57514104 04/02/2020 If you are a fan of Jeff Goldblum fan then you will enjoy The World According to him. It is very educational but I wish he sought to interview more experts. See more 03/29/2020 Good for the whole family and interesting. Love Jeff, obviously the main draw to watch the series. Love his eccentricity! See more 01/04/2020 Goldblum is quirky and it gives you a very different vibe for a mini documentary for each episode. The information is good and fresh and interesting. See more Read all reviews
