Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 4994471, member: 2500"] That's now basically every series ever made. Anyway, binged "[B]Man In Full[/B]" (Netflix) over last couple days. Have the book but never got far into it, so nice to have it condensed into a six-part series. Jeff Daniels (Charlie Croker) is the lead and does a credible job as the corporate Atlanta version of John Dutton. There are a lot of Yellowstone similarities in his story arc, especially of the BSD variety. But for me, it was the subplot of Roger White, Croker's right hand man and legal fixer taking the case of an employee who was arrested form assaulting a cop that I thought was the more dramatic and "human" story. Diane Lane is Croker's ex and object of desire of a mid-level lawyer who's trying to nail Croker, and is way out of Lane's league, making this part of the proceedings a bit unbelievable. But his boss, played by Bill Camp does a great job trying to out-alpha Croker in numerous conference room scenes. I found the ending a bit too contrived, several actors fairly wasted (e.g. Sarah Jones), and some stereotypes a bit too stereotypical, but overall, I found it pretty decent. It moved along quickly and wasn't all that difficult to follow the numerous subplots. [/QUOTE]
