I am enjoying this limited series, 5 or six episodes
It has Jeff Daniels as very wealthy real estate tycoon in Atlanta, he did a great job but the "southern" accent he uses bothers me. I have never heard it while living here, maybe it's over the top on purpose for his character
Diane Lane plays his ex wife, she's still smokin hot
The overplayed racism with the cops and a Fulton county judge is dog shit though

An amalgamation of many Georgia Tech football legends-turned-real estate developers.
The accent is atrocious and has kept me from watching it thus far. I like Diane Lane in the Tech helmet, though.
There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am.

Oh wow! A Man in Full is the first ‘grown up’ book I ever read…remember loving it. Somewhere in my office I am sure that I still have a hardcover version of it. May be worth a re-read and then I’ll check out the Netflix.

I take it back about the judge, he was a hard ass. Speaking of hard.
Enjoyed it

Excellent book. But this Netflix version must be having Tom Wolfe spinning in his grave.
