Goliath Season 1 Episode 2 Pride and Prejudice

     The powers that be begin to harass Billy McBride.  They seem to want to stop at nothing to dissuade him from participating in this case.  This part of the story begins to build them up as pure evil.  I will not spoil the ending but the events presented will not deter him from his efforts.  Instead they will drive him onward.  Apparently, these big time firms are in bed with whomever they want to be.  We meet several women who are at the center of the big law firm.  For the first time there is a representative from their bosses.  This is a very good mini-series and Billy Bob Thornton, one of our quirkiest actors is at his absolute best.

Special Note:  Dwight Yokam plays a character named Wendell Corey.  Wendell Corey was a character actor, who served on the city council of Santa Monica, where this series is filmed.  He's best known as the cop from Alfred Hitchcock's classic, Rear Window and he had his own TV series, Harbor Command. 

Mistakes:  The windshield on Billy's car goes back and forth from broken to not broken.  Billy just got beaten badly by a cop, especially in the face, yet he has barely a scratch the next day and is moving like nothing happened.  Billy places the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside doorknob of his motel room.  When he is inside the room, the sign is hanging on the inside. The sign is also noticeably missing on the outside when the door is opened into the room later in the scene.
