Goliath: Hadleyville (2021)
Season 4 upsets the buffalo and no one knows why
As much fun as Goliath Season 1 was to watch, Season 4 is simply cruel to its audience. The first two episodes are painful to endure. They try to mix a blend of Altered States and Blade Runner, dazzling us with drug fueled mind trips in noiresque settings, but the ultimate effect is as random as Plan 9 From Outerspace.
The long dream sequences are a travel through time and color and black and white and the endless rain of San Francisco and other meaningless sequences of nothing. Like Ed Wood's 'Plan 9' they do this simply because they can, not for any deeper meaning. Thats the cruelty...taking the viewer down a path with no end. To quote Wood, '"The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo. So, the military are called in to solve the mystery." To be fair, I'm not sure which movie Wood is referring to with this quote but in the end, it could be said of any of his works.
Goliath Season 4 is upsetting all the buffalo and no one knows why.
