Goliath Season Three

Pretty sad.  Dennis Quaid as water thief, along with his sister.  Billy Bob Thornton sues him after the death of a past lover. Sink hole.  BB discovers Quaid's sister is stealing water from Federal property.  Quaid dies of a heart attack.  Sister shoots Billy.  Sister crashes car and dies.

Subplot:  Marisol from season 2 gets her comeuppance.  She's involved in the water theft, is discovered, and has to resign from her job as Mayor of LA.

Patty, Billy's partner, is pregnant.

Deanna, Billy's daughter, is becoming a lush, but she's involved in the downfall of Marisol (whom she hates) so things are looking up for her.

Thornton is great, so is Patty.  It's the plot that was terrible

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
