‘Goliath’ takes on opioid industry
If the Emmy Awards last weekend showed us anything, it’s that there are some great shows to watch right now.
The event also taught us that every awards ceremony should begin with a rap, and Rita Wilson really likes to show us her flow.
Here’s just a sampling of what to watch this week:
‘Goliath’ Season 4
Billy Bob Thornton recently said he’s playing himself if he were a lawyer in this Amazon Prime series that’s winding down.
This season, former down-and-out attorney Billy McBride comes back from a near-death experience to take on Big Pharma amid the opioid crisis.
“Billy is not the type, I am not the type, who likes the idea of big corporations telling us how we should live our lives,” Thornton said. “I’m really happy that that was the final season because I think the evolution worked out perfectly.”
The final season of “Goliath” starts streaming Friday on Amazon Prime.
‘Dear White People’
If ’90s music is your jam, you are going to love this season of “Dear White People.”
The Netflix dark comedy flips the script for its final season by making it more musical.
Because with this show, you have to expect the unexpected.
It’s streaming now.
‘Muhammad Ali’
Yes, this is the second week in a row to recommend a Muhammad Ali documentary.
But he is the greatest of all time, after all.
Ken Burns produced this one and delves into the life of the boxer and activist who was as legendary as he often loudly proclaimed.
It’s streaming on PBS.
Something to talk to the kids about
Is there anything harder these days than trying to talk to kids?
Michelle Icard’s book “Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen,” was recently released by Random House. It has some of the ways you can use entertainment — and your kids’ obsession with it — to bridge that gap.
That’s right, pop culture can be both fun and practical in your everyday life.
