Goliath
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.

Seasons
Season 1
Season 2
In season two, Billy McBride returns to defend a 16-year-old boy accused of a grisly double homicide. Billy, Patty and team fervently build their case in the seedy underworld of LA, squaring off with a dirty cop, a ruthless drug lord and a prosecutor to prove the boy's innocence. As the true culprits come to light, the implications reach as far as the mayoral race and the city's preeminent billionaire developer.
Season 3
In season 3, the unexpected death of an old friend leads Billy McBride to take a case in the drought-stricken Central Valley where he comes face-to-face with a new Goliath: a billionaire rancher and his sister. As Billy and his team pursue the truth, old enemies and personal demons resurface, forcing him to confront his own mortality.

This show hooked me right from the start as I knew we were in for a treat with Billy Bob Thornton in the lead. He doesn't disappoint as a down and out lawyer, taking on a huge corporation and his ex-lawyer firm, which he himself founded. I particularly enjoyed the courtroom scenes, the attention to detail and his relationships with his motley crew and adversaries. He really made the part of Billy his own, with a lot of grit, yet laconic determination. Series two, however, was way off the mark and veered into soap opera drug cartel territory, with very little courtroom drama. Very disappointing and I hope the writers bring the plot back to where it belongs - in a courtroom at the very least.

Season 1 was very good. The rest of the series is very weird and to be honest it felt gross. I recommend to my friends that they should watch only the first season.
