A Man in Full

Can't say enough about Jeff Daniel's performance in this series. He did not hold anything back and it was fun to see.

he's crazy talented

I was disappointed that Diane Lane's role was so limited, she is excellent too.

but it was also shallow and improbable. I enjoyed watching it but didn't believe any of it could actually be possible. Daniels' character, like most of the others, was a one-dimensional, cartoonish caricature, and his Foghorn Leghorn accent was extreme - nobody else in the series talked like that. Still, setting aside reality, it was amusing. And the ending, though absurd, was definitely... interesting.

was not his muse in this, one could hardly avoid the comparison. Trump's New York mafia accent is an affect in the same way. He said the book was based on three Atlanta real estate men.

And finding it pretty dull. Not sure I'll continue. Just so many other things to watch.
