Paul T. Goldman

Having watched three episodes it was entertaining, though the main character gets more annoting as time goes on - I can see why his wives left him! It is next to impossible to tell what is real or not - maybe the whole show is one big spoof in which case I will be rather annoyed at the end.

Still I will keep watching though with guarded reservations. Its also not clear whether the movie in a movie concept is real or just something for the show - e..g will it see the light of day separately.

If it turns out that the whole show is fake then the lead character Paul deserves an Oscar for playing someone so gormless so well.

What if Werner Herzog and Nathan Fielder had a child?

They would have named him Paul T. Goldman.

The line between real and fiction is a thin and blurry one, often crossing and blending together in various forms of media. In literature, for example, authors often take inspiration from real-life events and people, but then add their own imagination and creative twists to create a fictional story. In film and television, real-life events and people are often depicted in a fictionalized manner, blurring the line between fact and fiction even further.

This guy is a real life Michael Scott. It reminds me of his he wrote screenplay of Michael Scarn. He's kooky but has an innocence to him that makes him likeable. His life is unbelievable sure, but mainly because of what he does and the choices he makes. The cast is unbelievable, and help make the story come to life. The way it all unfolds is creative and you get a real life behind the scenes as it's told. One of the most entertaining series I've watched in a long time and I haven't been this excited about a show since Tiger King. I binge watched it all in one night. Definitely worth your time.

Wow! And I say that for a reason! This show is just so much different from anything that I have ever seen. Anything?! Yes, ANYTHING!

When watching the first episode, I was completely caught. And it was not only the story - which by the way is pretty interesting in itself - but more so on the way that this story is brought to film. It is namely shot in a very professional way - studio included - but with the real person as the main actor. And this is exactly what makes it special! Because the guy has totally no acting experience and he can't keep himself from smiling. It's like watching Seinfeld's Kramer playing Marlon Brando's role of Godfather!

So yes, it is in my opinion pretty amusing to the point of hilarious.

That a company like ComCast - with its valuable Peacock brand - is willing to experiment with content of this kind, deserves a thumbs up. But who in his right mind would have ever expected this to be so good. I mean... just watching the guy explaining how he is being screwed - literally actually - is an awesome experience to see.

And I hope that the actual mr. Goldman reads my review, because I want to give him credits for the most innovative tv format in a long time!

And the score? A well deserved 8.1/10, which results in an IMDb score of 8 stars!

I've only watched 2 episodes so far, but I felt a need to see if anyone had similar feelings as I do. If you've ever seen the cult movie "The Room" written, directed and starring Tommy Wiseau, often referred to as the best, worst movie ever...this has that feel. This feels like everyone involved was highly aware of what the end product would end up being by having the title "character" Paul as the lead actor, if they kept this a straight series. They had the foresight to have a hybrid series/behind the scenes documentary, so the audience is in on the whole process of what this project is and how it came to be. I'm all here for it. They all look like they are having fun telling this crazy story and I can't look away for some reason. Kudos to all the actual actors in this.
