"Half Man tells the story of two brothers—although not actually related—called Ruben and Niall, following them from their late teens until roughly their 40s. Every episode begins and ends at Niall's wedding in the present day. Ruben has suddenly turned up, determined to engineer a showdown of some kind with his brother."
"In between these scenes, we learn about the events that led up to this day. Ruben and Niall grew up in Scotland, where they found themselves sharing a bedroom in their late teens after their mothers begin a relationship."
Half Man is a six-part drama that follows the lives of two brothers, Ruben and Niall, from their late teens into their 40s. The narrative is framed around Niall's wedding, with Ruben's unexpected return prompting a confrontation. The series explores their shared past in Scotland, highlighting the impact of their mothers' relationship on their lives. Like Gadd's previous work, Baby Reindeer, Half Man is well-crafted but leaves a lasting impression that may not invite repeated viewing.
