Paul T. Goldman Is Hard to Describe, Impossible to Forget, and One Wild Ride: Review
The Pitch: “In 2012, a man named Paul T. Goldman tweeted at me,” is how director Jason Woliner (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Nathan for You) begins a note to the press about his new Peacock series. “He said that he had an incredible story to tell and had written a book – and a screenplay – about it. He asked for my help bringing it to the screen.” Ten years later, Woliner has done exactly that — though the form this story has taken probably wasn’t what Paul T. Goldman anticipated. Instead, the series is less a shocking tale of sex and crime and more a fascinating portrait of a man and his ambitions: his desire for fame, for revenge, or maybe just being seen. And seen he is, through a lens that is alternately dark, strange, bizarre, and, more often than not, very funny. Pieces of a Man: In t...

In a voice over he states “Stay true to your vision no matter the cost. Play the game they want you to play or draw the line and simply walk away. We all got choices to make… but this time no one choose for me.” Should be interesting to see how things pa...
