A Man in Full — Limited Series

What to Know

Critics Consensus

For a show with excellent pedigree and a Tom Wolfe novel to draw from, A Man in Full is disappointingly half-baked in its exploration of masculinity.

David Bianculli NPR [David Kelley] manages to explore the rich and famous and the legal and prison systems in ways that echo everything from the #MeToo movement and racially motivated police brutality to the behavior of certain modern political figures. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Graeme Blundell The Australian There’s also a mesmerising performance from Tom Pelphrey... May 28, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) David E. Kelley has extinguished all the fire and soul from Tom Wolfe’s novel with this sloppy miniseries. May 15, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) Here, as usual with Tom Wolfe and David E. Kelley, a scathing critique of a racist legal system, class, egotism, and greed take center stage. Aug 3, 2024 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Over its six episodes, A Man in Full repeats variations on Charlie’s plaint that the “world’s gonna make men like me extinct.” Man in Full can’t persuade us that that even comes close to being a tragedy. May 31, 2024 Full Review Laura Fernández El Pais (Spain) And yet, the miniseries manages to outline something that resembles a partial dissection of the male ego, and its sad condemnation.

SkyRo P "A Man in Full" is a Netflix series that left me a bit perplexed. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I just experienced. I initially thought there might be potential for this show, but the narrative felt disjointed. The jail scenes had their own vibe, which was fine, but then the home wrecking plot felt completely separate, and the overall storyline seemed scattered. Throughout the series, I struggled to grasp what was really happening. It was mind-boggling—at times, I found myself questioning the purpose of what I was watching. The finale, in particular, was over the top when a character was humorously nicknamed for his anatomy, culminating in an unnecessary reveal. It felt forced and more about shock value than substance. In the end, I have to say that while it is what it is, I can't wholeheartedly recommend it. It just didn't resonate with me. If you're curious, go ahead and give it a try, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review S R Entertaining and easy bingeable watch. Some of the characters are over the top. I don't blame the actors because it was intentional. The ending was way over the top. But I did enjoy it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Richard M This series jumped way over the mark. The acting (especially the lead male) is so overdramatic, and odd, the soundtrack seems to be trying to be artful and missing by miles, and the writing is so simple and predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Heidi O Terrible everything. Story, scene development, character development, dialog, lighting, pacing and editing all suck. Pretty pathetic television. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Michael B Great casting, cowardly directing, totally missing the point of the novel. If you're a Tom Wolfe fan, you will be disappointed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Bruce H It moved along well for the most part and Daniels was good, but the final episode (Netflix) devolved into pornography and a stupid ending.
