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.

A Man in Full: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

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.

There’s also a mesmerising performance from Tom Pelphrey...

The Nightly (AU)

David E. Kelley has extinguished all the fire and soul from Tom Wolfe’s novel with this sloppy miniseries.

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.

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.

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. [Full review in Spanish]

Sizwe S Ultimately an extremely pointless show, has some entertainment value in places but has no elements of a classic story. I think the creators were hoping to play on the strengths of the performances but for me, Jeff Daniels was better in dumb and dumber. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Steven K Enjoyable to watch. The prison scenes are difficult to watch and make it hard to watch for relaxation and entertainment. Maybe I missed it, but I can't figure out why the business mogul and bank are at odds. The bank stands to lose quite a bit of money, I think. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Lisa M Jeff Daniels is fantastic! Absolutely Love it. Great cast with twists and turns and characters with entitlement oddities that resemble the current times and characters of today, Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Doug H The usually reliable David Kelley has missed badly on this one. Good actors utterly wasted with laughable accents and scenery-chewing performances. (Only the great Bill Camp survives intact.) The novel wasn't one of Wolfe's best to begin with and this doesn't even reach that low bar. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review PAUL A It's a captivating, warm and devoid of loose ends. Straight shooting.. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Janet L The ending of the show was awful. I invested hours of my life to be left with an ending that was dissatisfying and disappointing. No one should waste their time with this show. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
