The Full Man series stretches to too many places, but the connection to Trump makes it current and juicy.
Jeff Daniels has played supporting roles in many big Hollywood films, but Full man – series (A Man in Full, 2024) real estate mogul Charles Croker is a rare lead role for him. At first, it seems like Daniels is playing it a bit poorly.
However, it could be something else. Full man seems to aim first of all to Donald Trump. Both Croker and Trump are arrogant jerks and jerks.
From television – as well as About the deal that from the news – the familiar Trump has always seemed to fit his roles poorly, and the bigger the part, the worse. In the role of president, Trump would not have convinced anyone if he had not been given the keys to the White House and nuclear weapons. That’s what Daniels achieves nicely.
A six-piece A full man the authors are successful professionals in the field. It was started by, among other things Ally McBealista well-known producer David E. Kelley.
He has directed half of the episodes Regina Kingwhose debut film One Night in Miami… (2020) elevated him to one of the promises of the wave of black American directors. As an actor, King won an Oscar for his supporting role in the film If Beale Street Could Talk (2018).
Another director Thomas Sludge has, among other things, produced West Wingia Aaron Sorkinin with.

No matter how much power and wealth there is, when it comes to civilization, we are very poor.
Full man based on On the verge of vanities successful Tom Wolfen to another novel (1998). Both the book and the series are set in Atlanta, Georgia, but the series has been moved to the present day.
For starters, Croker is lying on the floor in his ghettos, but the thoughts are still pure defiance. Korske’s character becomes clear right from the start.
From crawling on the floor, we move back ten days to Croker’s raucous 60th anniversary celebration. Soon porho threatens that he is a bad loser but a relentless winner.
Tom Pelphrey plays Raymond Peepgrass, who, as a representative of his bank, extorts $800 million from Charles Croker.
Characters and there are many plots. In the main story, the bank puts Croker in a tight spot by collecting a debt of 800 million. Plotting against him is loan officer Raymond Peepgrass (Tom Pelphrey).
A funny detail for us is the Finnish Sirja (Eline Powell), with whom Peepgrass has strayed into a careless relationship.
Elsewhere, Croker’s secretary Jill Hensley (Chanté Adams) of Conrad the man (Jon Michael Hill) trials in the wheelhouse of the legal system. The black man’s problems begin with an encounter with a white police officer.
The two stories are connected by Croker’s lawyer Roger White (Thank you very much), which tries to fix both messes. Croker’s only mitigating character trait is his willingness to help a man under him in need. It gives a deepening human nuance to the image of the piston.
Conrad (Jon Michael Hill), the husband of Croker’s secretary Jill Hensley (Chanté Adams), has serious problems with the police.
Themes and Croker bring to mind the abusers of power in other TV satires. For example House of Cardsissa (2013–2018) was embroiled in Washington politics and Succession (2018–2023) in a media dynasty power struggle.
Full man takes off clothes from white emperors on a very general level. No matter how much power and wealth there is, when it comes to civilization, we are very poor.
But if you imagine Trump in Croker’s place, it’s hard to forget the similarity. That hit makes the series, which sprawls a bit unnecessarily on many sides, current and juicy.
