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) 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 A Man in Full: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com Direction from luminaries like Regina King and Thomas Schlamme isn't enough to save this ho-hum social class drama. Rated: 2/4 May 4, 2024 Full Review A Man in Full: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times It’s well-crafted pop entertainment about people who are mostly awful (with a few notable exceptions) but great fun to watch. Rated: 3/4 May 3, 2024 Full Review A Man in Full: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Marty Brown Common Sense Media So, it's a drama about the highest possible financial stakes, but it feels like it could just as easily be set in an Arby's. May 21, 2024 Full Review A Man in Full: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Andrew Anthony Observer (UK) The dialogue bristles and the acting is top-notch. Rated: 4/5 May 18, 2024 Full Review A Man in Full: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network As a six-episode binge, I am sure audiences will have some fun with this show which has enough sex and face-slapping to entertain casual viewers even if it has two too many horse penises on display. Rated: 7/10 May 17, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

John M Eh, it was tolerable at best. Hard for me to enjoy it, as it was completely different from the novel - much, much worse. The added subplots were terrible and did nothing for the story, but I guess they had to add their token "rainbow of color" characters. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/24 Full Review Shreyas S Had all the elements of a great Tom Wolfe story with characters but something was just lacking, entertaining overall but lacked that next level gravitas. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/24 Full Review Gaston M Not as good as expected . Great cast by not so great show Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Dan S The characters are exaggerated, almost like cartoons. At first I thought that this was to the show's detriment. But as it progressed, I thought that the exaggerations were intentional, which made this - as another viewer posted - quirky.I didn't think that the whole sub-plot with the Croker employee who gets thrown in jail really fit in with the rest of the story - at least, not the film version (maybe it made more sense in the novel). But on the whole, this was an entertaining story with some great - if exaggerated - acting, especially by Jeff Daniels. And - I always enjoy watching Lucy Lui's characters.I will add this: the final episode has a scene that you will never forget! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Diane W We enjoyed it. Very quirkey. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Steven M Can't believe this is a Tom Wolfe novel. Spoiler alert. First, the bank would never antagonize someone that owed them $800M. If he goes bankrupt and they sell the properties in a fire sale, the bank loses bigtime. They might give him some tough love, but the scenes at the bank are stupid. The fake tension is boring.Next, the wormy bank accountant transforms before our very eyes into a real estate tycoon seducing the mogul's wife, why? because his Finnish girlfriend manipulates him? C'mon.And finally everyone dies. Boy that was a imaginative ending. What a waste of time Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
