Fans of The Lincoln Lawyer Should Try Billy Bob Thornton’s Goliath on Prime Video

Collider TV features writer Jen Vestuto recommends Prime Video’s Goliath — led by Billy Bob Thornton — as a strong follow-up for fans of The Lincoln Lawyer, which Vestuto says returns this February on Netflix. Goliath ran for four seasons from 2016 to 2021, and all seasons are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Vestuto summarizes Goliath as following Billy McBride, a disgraced attorney who co-founded Cooperman & McBride with Donald Cooperman (William Hurt). In the pilot he takes a wrongful-death suit against his former firm — which includes his ex-wife Michelle (Maria Bello) — and uncovers a dangerous conspiracy and corporate cover-ups.

Each season centers on a different high-stakes case, with McBride squaring off against Big Pharma, the gun lobby and the tech world at various points. Vestuto highlights that the series blends courtroom drama with character-driven storylines, exploring Billy’s alcoholism, his strained relationship with his daughter Denise (Diana Hopper), and his search for redemption.

Thornton won the 2017 Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama for his portrayal of Billy McBride, and Vestuto praises a strong ensemble including Nina Arianda, Tania Raymonde, William Hurt and Maria Bello. She also notes notable guest turns across the series from actors such as Dennis Quaid, Amy Brenneman, Beau Bridges, Morris Chestnut and J.K.
