We Need to Talk About That Wild A Man in Full Ending
Did that just happen?
Having resolved the plot surrounding Conrad Hensley (Jon Michael Hill), a Black man who unjustly winds up in prison after assaulting a white police officer — his case is dropped after a blatantly racist judge becomes suddenly and conveniently reasonable in the last episode — the finale turns its attention back to its central conflict: the one between Pelphrey’s Raymond Peepgrass and Daniels’s Charlie Croker. Other TV shows, specifically The Righteous Gemstones, have done this kind of thing successfully before, and given the number of extremely talented people involved with A Man in Full(Regina King and television vet Thomas Schlamme directed all the episodes, and other members of the cast include Bill Camp, Lucy Liu, and William Jackson Harper), there’s reason to believe the series would be capable of pulling off such a feat. But the tone of everything leading up to this moment falls much too far on the side of the serious — and the self-serious — to allow it to land as anything other than a misguided and bizarre way to end a limited series that wouldn’t recognize subtlety if it walked up and waved its penis in its face.
