All I'm saying is, justice for Raymond Peepgrass. He deserved to live happily ever after with Martha, I don't care.

That scene?! I'm not a fan of explicit scenes but that one was everything *chef's kiss

Also, Regina King did that!!!

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

"- I'm not sure who the hell you think you're talking to. (Charlie Croker) - I'm talking to a man who owes this bank 800 million dollars. A man who owes six other banks another 400 million dollars. A person who is over a billion dollar in debt. I'm talking to a shithead." (Harry - Episode 1)

(Roger) - I'm looking down on what you're asking." (Wes - Episode 3)

A Man in Full: A Melodrama without a Punch

An incredible ensemble can sometimes only do so much to carry a show. A Man in Full suffers from this very issue. It has a few notable names sprinkled into a sprawling narrative that should have been the perfect recipe for success.

Led by names such as Jeff Daniels, Diane Lane, and Lucy Liu, A Man in Full tries desperately to capture the eccentric side of business. It also adds in a few social justice issues and hot-button politics to no avail. While I did like the actors enough to watch all the way through the show, it has a few bright moments followed by very many head scratching moments.

Daniels stars as real estate mogul Charlie Croker who is in debt with several banks to the tune of a billion dollars. Charlie will do absolutely anything to hold onto his fortune. That sounds like a marketable premise and an easy to sell plot.

What the show ends up giving us is over the top dialogue about dying alone. This show features about 10 prominent characters, and 8 of them are despicable human beings who have zero character devolopment through out. Croker is for lack of a better term an asshole who tries to masquerade as a better man than he is. Yet every action he takes shows absolutely no reason to want him to succeed or see him fail. There is no reason to care about what happens to Charlie because his fate is revealed in the firest 10 seconds of the series. Sorry if that seems like a spoiler but it absolutely is not. The show does not hide what is about to unfold.

The journey of the show was supposed to be Charlie and his descent into chaos and destruction. He was always like this, though, and the show has no backbone because this is just a douchey character doing douchey things.

The final 15 minutes of the final episode is absolute insanity and was just laughable in terms of how it played it. The idea was that people get what is coming to them, but yet that was not even what we ended up getting. This show lacked a direction. Most of the storylines, aside from one, had zero resolution. This was just a series where bad people did "shocking" things, yet none of them felt shocking at all.

This was a series leading into viewing that I had very high hopes for. Daniels has proven to be compelling in the past. He is good here, but the writing inevitably fails his talents. It is a shame because there were elements to this story that could have made for amazing viewing. Yet this show chose the route it did, and here I stand, having watched all 6 episodes and felt very little. That is a shame.
