The World According to Jeff Goldblum

I've always loved Jeff Goldblum's quirky sense of humor and he does a great job on this show. It might sound like just another show about random stuff but the way he hosts it and talks to people is really well done. I found myself actually interested in sneakers (which I'm not, normally) and I especially enjoyed the tattoo episode.Jeff is just so charming and he makes anything seem interesting. He also engaged with people; he was playing basketball in the sneaker episode, rowing an outrigger in Hawaii and actually doing part of a tattoo in the tattoo episode. His enthusiasm is contagious, and makes it all more interesting. I'm looking forward to future episodes.

Well to be fair Jeff Goldblum turns out to be a real entertaining host but at times, beneath all that you can see the content is thin.

I love shows of this genre. Shows that deliver knowledge and different perspectives about things. But unlike others like Adam Ruins Everything, focus is more on Jeff's shenanigans rather the actual content of the topic an episode is about.

I just wish from next season onwards they dive deeper into history lessons and facts....

A solid 7 it is!

Jeff has a personality that you either love or hate. I'm on the side of appreciating his quirks and qualities. He's passionate, enthusiastic, funny and charming and having him explore some of the cultural artifacts in our modern world is both interesting and entertaining. Each episode explores a relevant cultural topic and Jeff educates us with his hilariously quirky but surprisingly down to earth point-of-view.

Jeff is as charming as ever, and the topics he goes over in every episode are so unique. Sneakers, ice cream, basic stuff, but got a whole universe behind them. Everything intertwined with Goldblum's amazing sense of humour and charisma.

This show isn't bad, it's just very average. As a Jeff Goldblum fan I expected a clever, deep and quirky look at topics, instead I got a quirky look into topics with a bit of added quirkiness. This is not a deep dive, focussing primarily on closeups of Jeff Goldblum touching his and other people's faces. The producers don't want anything to distract from his strangeness and as a result, even that strangeness comes across as forced and contrived. It's not that the show is unwatchable, it's just so superficial it is hard to really recommend it. Watch one episode and you've watched them all.
