So fantastic. Where so many things are about appearance or drama, this is just about learning a few weird facts about things you k ow while being endlessly entertained by a man that is so unbelievably odd and quirky you cannot help but to smile and melt for him a little. Highly recommend

The world according to Jeff Goldblum (i.e. mostly California or Texas) involves picking a random item, stroking chin, going to a fan festival dedicated to that thing, eyeballs dart side to side, idea's coming (what ideas? Doesn't matter), state the obvious (e.g. ice cream reminds people of childhood or tattooes are about your identity). There is little to learn in this series besides Jeff Goldblum's mannerisms.

Never has general-knowledge TV looked nearly so offbeat, droll, bohemian, and Hollywood A-list.

Goldblum seems very much in life the talkative eccentric hepcat he is in pictures - it's impossible to tell when he's on script or just telling you what he knows. I would subscribe just to watch more of this.

He is, genuinely or performatively, presenting himself as exactly the person you'd hope or think he is and no matter where he goes, people are excited or bemused to be in the presence of his Jeff Goldblum-ness.

'If I were the meat in a Korean barbecue, what would I be?' is the kind of kooky question actor Jeff Goldblum (above, left) pops out as he lets his butterfly mind flutter where it may in this haphazard but endlessly entertaining documentary series.
Rated: 4/5

It's a thought-provoking series, and loaded with personality. How no one thought of giving Jeff Goldblum his own show before this is beyond me.
