Once a name partner at a powerhouse law firm, he now works out of a motel room, waiting for one case big enough to matter again.
What is Goliath about?
Goliath centers on a once-prominent attorney who has drifted into the lower rungs of legal practice, taking whatever cases come his way while nursing an old grudge against the firm that pushed him out. That grudge resurfaces when he takes on a case pointed directly at a powerful client tied to his former partners, turning a routine dispute into a personal reckoning with the people and the profession he walked away from. Across its run the series follows how far he is willing to go, and what he is willing to risk, to either rebuild the standing he lost or simply settle the score. Each season resets around a new adversary and a new case, keeping the format anchored in courtroom stakes rather than serialized backstory.
About the cast
Billy Bob Thornton plays the lead attorney across the series, with Nina Arianda and Ana de la Reguera among the colleagues and adversaries who recur through its legal battles. Tania Raymonde, Diana Hopper, Matthew Del Negro, Mark Duplass, and Morris Chestnut round out a cast that shifts case by case as the show introduces new opposing counsel and new clients each season.
Context & significance
Directed by Jonathan Shapiro, the series draws on a legal-drama background to build its courtroom sequences around procedure as much as personality. The show favors a slower, character-driven pace over rapid-fire case-of-the-week plotting, letting each season's central dispute unfold over a full run rather than resolving within single episodes.
