My wife and I just watched "Goliath" with Billy Bob Thornton and Willian Hurt on Amazon Prime and were hugely disappointed.
Granted, good actors and a few interesting twists, however, as a courtroom drama, it hugely sucked.
Seems to me one of those movies / series where my impression after watching is that the general plan was "Let's get a few hugely popular actors to make it a hit. The intern can write the script, it will be fine"
And that is quite disappointing, as there are a few great courtroom series out there, especially the older David E. Kelley series like "The Practice" or even "Boston Legal" (which was a comedy series, but as far as the legal aspect is concerned, possibly more believable than "Goliath".
