Plot Synopsis

PAUL T. GOLDMAN is a half-hour comedy docuseries that mixes fact and fiction to tell a bizarre and incredible tale about one man's efforts to uncover the truth, thrusting him into a labyrinth of fraud, deception and criminality that transform him from wimp to warrior. It's a project that director Jason Woliner has been shooting for over a decade and a story that continues to pile on jaw-dropping new twists.

About the series, Director/Executive Producer Jason Wolinar says, "In 2012, a man named Paul T. Goldman tweeted at me. He said that he had an incredible story to tell and had written a book -- and a screenplay -- about it. He asked for my help bringing it to the screen. When I clicked on his Twitter, I saw that he had tweeted the same exact thing to hundreds of other people. I clicked on his website and watched a video he'd shot himself: He was a middle-aged, nebbishy guy delivering a monologue about how he'd been the victim of a shocking betrayal that led to a transformation 'from wimp to warrior' and set him on a mission to bring down an (alleged) international crime ring. I bought the book immediately. The series that has resulted -- a culmination of over a decade of shooting -- has wound up becoming the most conceptually ambitious and personal project I've ever worked on. It's in many ways an experimental show and I'm still in grateful disbelief that Peacock has let me do it. The format, combining familiar doc elements with dramatized scenes that Paul wrote about his story -- starring Paul playing himself -- and weaving that with behind-the-scenes footage from the making of this show (don't worry, it'll make sense when you watch it, I promise) was essentially my way of taking a camera inside this very unique person's brain. At times Paul comes across as sympathetic and at other times he's discomfiting -- and it's going to be really exciting to watch the social media response and conversation this creates as the audience debates where they stand on him and his story."

PAUL T. GOLDMAN debuted on Sunday, January 1, 2023 on Peacock, as the streaming service released the first three episodes. A new episode dropped each Sunday through January 22.
