Goliath Season 4 2021 Episode 2: title The Pain Killer aired 9/24/2021

     Patty finds herself on the hook for Billy’s behavior as he digs deeper into this case.  Episode 2 opens with a student basketball game for a state championship.  It’s a flashback and Tom True’s daughter is on the cheerleading team.  She experiences a nasty fall and her father watches on in complete horror.  


     Then it then turns into a trippy-feeling scene with George Zax on stage in an imagined Broadway show.  He’s on the piano singing about a fallen princess who is in pain and he offers his assistance to help her.  His way of helping is by giving her opioids.  He calls himself “The Painkiller.”  If that is not a direct aim at big pharma companies, I do not know what is??  It is filmed like a commercial ad.  48 min.

5* (I really like this series)
