3 hidden gem TV shows to watch if you love Walton Goggins

Experiencing the height of the TV show's success in recent years, Walton Goggins has delivered some magnetic performances in underrated TV shows.

Most people haven’t seen them, but only true Goggins fans can recognise these iconic characters.

Here are three TV shows you must watch if you love Walter Goggins.

Vice Principals

This two-season comedy shows Goggins shining in HBO’s Vice Principals. The show features the Emmy-winning actor as Lee Russell, a manipulative, smarmy, and two-faced high school vice principal.

His performance masterfully balances sharp comedy with emotional depth, revealing the vulnerability beneath Russell’s cunning exterior.

I’m A Virgo

Want to see Goggins in a sci-fi, magical story? Then I’m A Virgo is for you.

Boots Riley made waves with his surreal debut, Sorry to Bother You, a sharp satirical attack on capitalism, followed by the equally wild streaming series I’m a Virgo. The show’s magical realist world features a 13-foot-tall teen, a superspeed friend, and Goggins in a pivotal guest role.

Walton Goggins plays Jay Whittle, a billionaire superhero called The Hero. While idolised in comics, his real self is violent and oppressive, chaining and humiliating the protagonist.

The Shield

Goggins’ breakout role came as Detective Shane Vendrell in The Shield, FX’s gritty answer to traditional cop shows.

The series depicted corrupt officers in the wake of the Rampart scandal, with Shane as Vic Mackey’s fiercely loyal but flawed right-hand man.

Across seven seasons, Shane’s arc included moral clashes, a new family, and blatant bigotry, adding layers to his volatile character. While The Shield is often overlooked in the Golden Age of Television, Goggins’ intense, career-defining performance cemented his status as one of TV’s most compelling antihero actors.
