One of the actors changed half way through
This show has such an original plot that I struggle to compare with anything else and is so brilliantly executed with a brilliant cast. I just can’t believe it is stopping at 2 seasons!

Brilliant and captivating
Absolutely brilliant book, the author keeps your attention throughout the whole story, you do need to pay attention as it does skip through years to keep the story going and not allow it to become boring, but really good, love the end of the books when the facts are explained to you.
Definitely recommend to a friend!

Taking on the big guys
Goliath is brilliant. Season 2 is even better. It is dark and twisted and Billy Bob Thornton just shines incredibly in this role. A brilliant but washed up lawyer is completely nihilistic and so takes on the big guys that other lawyers don't dare to incase they get killed.

Jemaine Clement, brilliant as always (1 more)
Taika Waititi, also brilliant as always
Very Funny
Decided to watch this classic again as part of my Halloween movie session. A very funny mockumentary following a bunch of vampires who all share a house and bicker over things like not doing the dishes or not cleaning up the mess after one of them has feasted on some virgins. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi are both brilliant in this. Rhys Darby also makes a very funny appearance as leader of a bunch of local werewolves and those are some of my favourite moments ("We're werewolves, not swearwolves").
