was published in 1988. It was a cross-section of crises, with point-of-view chapters from Atlanta residents spanning white and rich to black and incarcerated. This Netflix adaptation is from the eternally productive David E Kelley, who back in 1998 hadJeff Daniels as Charlie Croker, a Georgia native with college football fame, a blond second wife and a mountain of debt, in A Man in Full.
