Paul T. Goldman (2023)
Under-rated
16 January 2023 - 14 out of 16 users found this review helpful.
This is original and highly entertaining. The creators manage to balance out the self indulgent nature of Goldman, as well as the tragi-comédie of his life story. Despite this naive protagonist being horribly duped and taken advantage of, this is by and large a comedy. Am quite surprised by the relatively low rating here (I think many are taking it too seriously) and think it deserves more credit for a really enjoyable spin on true crime storytelling. While one can't help but laugh at the goofy Finkelman/Goldman throughout, he is certainly lovable enough to garner the necessary sympathy to convince the viewer to root for him. I found this far more entertaining than almost anything else on the major networks.
