New York Times Issues Embarrassing Correction Over ‘Goliath’ Review
The New York Times’ Mike Hale ripped Amazon’s “Goliath” over its “needlessly complicated structure of the initial episodes” but it turns out that the critic actually watched the episodes in the wrong order.
A television review on Friday about the new Amazon series ‘Goliath’ included an inaccurate discussion of the show’s plot structure.
The current version of the review is much more friendly, but still says the show has an “odd bordering-on-bizarre split personality.”
Hale wrote, “It’s reasonably well executed Los Angeles noir, shot on picturesque Santa Monica and Venice locations, and carrying just the faintest echoes of John D. MacDonald and The Long Goodbye.'”
“She’s fearless and hilarious as the low-rent lawyer and real estate agent,” he wrote.
David E. Kelley’s legal drama stars Jason Ritter, Billy Bob Thornton, William Hurt, Maria Bello, Olivia Thrilby and Molly Parker.
