"A Man in Full," adapted by David E Kelley and directed by Regina King for Netflix, is a satirical drama featuring Jeff Daniels as Charlie Croker, a real-estate mogul facing financial ruin. The series, which echoes themes of Trump-era excess and mismanagement, intertwines personal scandals and a racially charged legal drama, aiming to capture the "Succession" audience. While it delivers a solid narrative, it lacks the sharp satirical edge and flair of its predecessor.
