## Synopsis

A Man in Full (2024) is an American limited series created by David E. Kelley for Netflix, adapted from a novel. Jeff Daniels plays Atlanta real estate tycoon Charlie Croker, who must claw his way back to the top when sudden bankruptcy and a crowd of relentless foes threaten to bring his empire down. Diane Lane co-stars as Martha Croker, the wife whose loyalty and judgment are tested as the family's fortunes shift, while Chanté Adams and Jon Michael Hill play Jill and Conrad Hensley, a couple caught in the fallout. Tom Pelphrey and Bill Camp round out the cast as rivals and figures pressing on Croker's collapsing world. Told across a single six-episode season, the story moves through boardrooms, deal tables, courtrooms and family dinners, with each hour built around a new financial threat or a personal reckoning. The mood is grounded and adult, a drama of pride, money and reputation set in contemporary Atlanta. Viewers who enjoy the power plays of Succession and Billions, or the moral tangles of a book-based prestige drama, will find a similar appetite for ambition and reversal here, though the pace is measured and the tone more contemplative than explosive.
