The dialogue bristles and the acting is top-notch. If it keeps this level up for the next five episodes, it will be essential viewing. Read full review

Yes, it’s a lot to unpack. But with the prolific David E. Kelley (“Ally McBeal,” “Big Little Lies,” et al.) as showrunner, writer and executive producer, and directing duties split between actor-filmmaker Regina King (“One Night in Miami”) and Thomas Schlamme (“The West Wing,” “The Americans”), each story gets just the right amount of play, and the result is a rich mix of sudsy but spot-on social commentary and satire.

The show is not as good as the book. The catch is, it’s still pretty good. Read full review

The Telegraph Anita Singh

May 2, 2024

Where Wolfe was adept at exploring societal, political and racial issues with a satirical eye, Kelley doesn’t have the same talents. There are hints of Succession – family troubles, talk of money, Croker yelling about “the Boeing” – but the series is nowhere near the same league. Read full review

The show ends up far less than the sum of its parts, an oddly generic and muted take on a larger-than-life American story. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

May 2, 2024

But apart from Charlie, through whom each story thread passes, most other characters don’t have enough, or good enough material to seem quite real, and many are just unpleasant. An unlikable character without an inner life is merely unlikable — and uninteresting. Read full review

Kristen Baldwin

May 2, 2024

The individual elements of the story aren’t really the problem with A Man in Full. Instead, it’s the challenge of translating Wolfe’s singular style of prose — vivid, elaborate, effusive, ornamental — which thrives on the page but can devolve into cartoonish farce on screen. Read full review
