Right now you can watch Goliath in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube TV — and it earns its twists rather than manufacturing them. Every one of its 4 seasons holds up. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Billy Bob Thornton leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Goliath is worth clearing space for. At its heart, Goliath understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. Once a powerful lawyer, Billy McBride is now burned out and washed up, spending more time in a bar than a courtroom. When he reluctantly agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the biggest client of Cooperman & McBride, the massive law firm he helped create, Billy and his ragtag team uncover a vast and deadly conspiracy, pitting them all in a life or death trial against the ultimate Goliath. Billy Bob Thornton and Nina Arianda lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. 4 seasons (2016–2021) gave the story room most shows never get. Goliath is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Goliath will keep you hooked. Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Watch Billy Bob Thornton work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Goliath wrapped up in 2021, created by David E. Kelley and Jonathan Shapiro — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
