Goliath

Here's a good example of a good European drama, one filled with many tense moments, decent cinematography and a good script. The acting was very good and the story is something many of us can relate to, the anxiety of becoming a father especially when you don't feel ready or even worse, when you have self esteem problems.

It's a relationship drama that centers on the upcoming father who is feeling insecure after a failed attempt to protect his girlfriend from an attacker. He then resorts to steroids to compensate for his insecurities, but the plan backfires because in the process of bodybuilding, his mental sanity an his virility begin to fall apart.

I also liked the ending, was very symbolic and emotional...

There are things that viewers can relate to. Or at least empathize with - than there are other things that we may not understand completely. Like not standing up for either yourself or your significant other. On the other hand, it does seem like there is some toxicity to the relationship to say the least. And if the female provokes you to fight for her ... well she has her reasons and the blame is not only to be found on one side - so this is rather complex actually.

Having said that, this kicks off the whole feeling weak thing - and the whole over compensating. And getting advice that may not be the best. Pumping up the wrong way ... not evere relationship is meant to last. Some get stronger because of friction and fights ... what is going to happen here? Certainly something that may annoy you ... but also maybe please you ... but surely irritate you too.

Really well played - but also quite the uncomfortable viewing experience to say the least. This is not for everyone - drama and darkness combined - with a bit of sunshine.
