Overview

Goliath is an American legal drama television series created by David E. Kelley and Jonathan Shapiro. The show ran for four eight-episode seasons on Amazon Prime Video between 2016 and 2021. The series stars Billy Bob Thornton, Nina Arianda, Tania Raymonde, and Diana Hopper. The narrative centers on Billy McBride, a character who was once a powerful lawyer but has become a burned-out, disgraced ambulance chaser who spends more time in a bar than in a courtroom. The plot follows McBride as he reluctantly agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the largest client of Cooperman and McBride, which is the massive law firm he helped create. Alongside a ragtag team, McBride uncovers a vast and deadly conspiracy. This case pits the group against the ultimate Goliath in a life or death trial that offers McBride a chance at redemption or revenge against the firm that expelled him. The series explores these legal and personal stakes throughout its broadcast run.
