Paul T. Goldman

I'm not sure how much the titular character is aware of what's happening, and it's hard to have sympathy for he comes across as quite an unlikeable egomaniac. For fans of obscure B-movies, he is essentially a Neil Breen type character, who is caught in the writers' and director's web. He thinks they are making an emmy-level documenatry while they essentially parody the recent spate of cheap Netflix true crime documentaries (e.g The Tinder Swindler). By largely allowing Paul T. Goldman to tell the story, and leaning into the more asburd elements of the story (e.g a psychic medium), they beging to reveal the embellishments and question if any of this really happened. In turn, this makes it much more honest than other so-called true crimes. Your enjoyment of the show will depend on whether you can tolerate the strange title character, and enjoy seeing a well-loved genre be torn apart.
