The law breathes Jeff Daniels' neck in the first trailer for Netflix's upcoming drama limited series, A full man. Based on Tom WolfeThe New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, the title follows the life of Charlie Croker (Daniels), a larger-than-life real estate mogul who has been living life in the fast lane as one of the richest men in Atlanta. After he is forced to file for bankruptcy, Charlie's world comes crashing down, both at work and at home. Also, the doomed businessman finds himself engaged in a dangerous tango with crooked politicians and knows that he is her only hope of getting out of it all with some dignity left to his name.
In the trailer, we see the moments before, during and after the collapse of Charlie's life. Flying literally high aboard his private jet, when Charlie's plane lands, the feds are waiting for him, and in that moment, his empire begins to crumble. Not just a serious businessman, Charlie is quite eccentric as we see him deal with his grief the only way it should be dealt with: by wrestling a rattlesnake. Meanwhile, his ex-wife, Martha (Diane Lane) considers a deal with prosecutors, as he has more than enough ammunition in his arsenal to ensure Charlie stays behind bars forever. While many, like Harry Zale by Bill Campthink it will be easy to knock down the bricks of Charlie's business, those in the tycoon's corner plan to make it as difficult as possible.
