BingeNext's take

If you’re into crime dramas with a gritty edge and complex characters, Goliath is a solid pick. Billy Bob Thornton plays a once-powerful lawyer who’s hit rock bottom, spending more time drowning his sorrows in a bar than winning cases. But when he takes on a wrongful death lawsuit against the giant law firm he helped build, things get intense fast. The show is about fighting against overwhelming odds, with a mix of legal battles and personal struggles that keep you hooked. With four seasons and a strong supporting cast including Nina Arianda and Tania Raymonde, it’s a good choice if you like stories where the underdog takes on a much bigger enemy. Watching it feels like being drawn into a tense courtroom thriller that also digs into the messy, human side of its characters.
