    An undeniably fascinating, invariably uncomfortable piece of television... I don’t think I laughed once at Paul T. Goldman, but I found its presentation surprising at times, and there’s something compelling to its undercurrent of sadness, especially in light of the ongoing debate over exploitation in the true-crime space.

    It is ridiculous, it is sad, and it is often deeply uncomfortable, even if it’s unclear whether more of our ire should be directed at Goldman or at Woliner, or if we should be mad at all. ... Whatever moral quandaries the show presents, it’s never dull. ... The surface aspects of Paul T. Goldman are definitely fun, maybe enough to carry viewers through the whole thing.

    You may laugh, and you most certainly will cringe, at this forlorn but proud man who fancies himself the hero of his own story. Forgetting him is not an option. [2 - 15 Jan 2023, p.7]

    STREAM IT, but we’re not sure if our recommendation is going to stay that way after the first episode. As the story of Paul T. Goldman gets more outrageous, the less funny we think this meta-meta series is going to be.
