Half Man has finally landed on BBC One, starring Baby Reindeer legend Richard Gadd.
Half Man has arrived bringing an “explosion of violence” to the small screen after much anticipation.
BBC ’s latest gritty drama tells the story of mild-mannered Niall (played by Jamie Bell) and unpredictable Ruben (Richard Gadd) throughout their complicated 30-year bond.
Episode one kicks off at Niall’s wedding with an intense conversation between the two who see themselves as brothers, not bonded through blood but by circumstance.
The series then takes BBC viewers back when they were teenagers, exploring how their friendship began and what went wrong over the years.
