Goldblum is an oddball, so some may find his distinctive speech pattern and mannerisms distracting, but I appreciate his view of the world and unique take at the simple things in life. Read full review

Goldblum seems very much in life the talkative eccentric hepcat he is in pictures — it’s impossible to tell when he’s on script or just telling you what he knows. I would subscribe just to watch more of this. Read full review

A rather perfect example of a seemingly thin and silly premise that has exactly enough substance to stand on its own well after the sense of gimmickry has passed. Read full review

Fans of Goldblum will enjoy the half-hour “World According to Jeff Goldblum” because viewers get a concentrated dose of his personality but beyond that interest may vary based on the topic. Read full review

Aside from its marquee host, TWATJG could be any of a number of the mostly bland, curiosity-stoking series that make up National Geographic’s schedule (which makes sense, given that it’s produced by National Geographic Studios and Nutopia). Read full review

Your overall tolerance for Jeff Goldblum’s quirky old man persona that he’s developed into a brand over the last decade or so will determine how many episodes of this original series you end up watching. Read full review

Judy Berman

Nov 15, 2019

Episodes drag, despite topping out at 30 minutes, and the host’s attempts at adding insight to what is essentially a general-interest version of Food Network’s Unwrapped yield some comically obvious conclusions. Read full review

Jeff Goldblum is an interesting guy, but I don't know if he's interesting enough to make up for a boring subject. For example, the first episode is about shoes. I really like Jeff Goldblum, but I was really starting to fade halfway through the episode. They really need to give himJeff Goldblum is an interesting guy, but I don't know if he's interesting enough to make up for a boring subject. For example, the first episode is about shoes. I really like Jeff Goldblum, but I was really starting to fade halfway through the episode. They really need to give him something WILD to explore-- like escort services or medical marijuana. You know, something most people aren't really exposed to.… Expand
