The trailer for Man In Full (see below), Netflix's new drama series, has dropped and it looks like it might just fill that Succession-shaped hole. The show is based on the bestselling novel by Tom Wolfe, who in cinema is perhaps best known as the author of The Bonfire of the Vanities – a misfiring adaptation of a powerful book.
In this novel, and in this new Netflix show, a real estate mogul (Jeff Daniels) faces financial and political disaster as he tries to defend his empire from his many enemies. Daniel's character Charlie Croker isn't exactly sympathetic – he's crude, rude and irrepressible – but he's not going to go gently into that good night.
