re: Tom Wolfe's 1998 book "A Man in Full" being adapted into a Netflix series

Just finished the series and also read the book.
Look, I understand that any movie based on a book will change or leave some things out. I am even prepared for some Wokeness. But the series was ridiculous...Conrad went from a white guy in California who escapes from prison, studies and adapts Stoic philosophy, reinvents himself and ends up working for than mentoring the main character in the book - Charlie Crocker.
Now Conrad is black and he is freed from jail after his charges are dismissed...end of story. And every white male in the movie is either weak, racist or an a-hole. The ending was made-up and had nothing to do with the book.
