Richard Gadd took the world by storm with *Baby Reindeer*, so I was eagerly awaiting his next project. *HALF MAN* isn’t only a superior follow up but unequivocally cements Gadd as one of the most exceptionally provocative writer actors currently working in television.
A cataclysmic masterwork of the male psyche.
Rage, repression, toxic masculinity, sexuality and manipulation. Every intricate fucked up facet of the male condition galvanised through two inseparable protagonists. Each the cause and effect of one another’s volatile existence. This truly is some of the most compelling human drama I’ve seen out of the UK. Extraordinary, extraordinary work. Relentlessly intoxicating from start to finish, with a level of raw vulnerability that leaves you paralysed by its shattering authenticity.
Emmys all around. Jamie Bell and Richard Gadd I stand and applaud you. The only two performances so far this year that will give Noah Wyle a run for his money!
