BBC’s new six-part drama Half Man stars Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd and Billy Elliot legend Jamie Bell.
Half Man has landed, delivering an “explosion of violence” to television screens following lots of anticipation.
The BBC‘s newest hard-hitting drama chronicles the lives of mild-mannered Niall (portrayed by Jamie Bell) and volatile Ruben (Richard Gadd) across their complex three-decade relationship.
The opening episode begins at Niall’s wedding with a charged exchange between the pair who regard themselves as brothers, united not by blood but by shared experience.
The series subsequently transports BBC audiences back to their teenage years, examining how their friendship formed and where it fractured along the way.
