About Half Man

Half Man is Richard Gadd's HBO/BBC co-production tracking Ruben (Gadd) and Niall (Jamie Bell) from the moment their mothers fall in love in 1980s Scotland through three decades of enmity, codependency, and shared trauma. Each chapter jumps to a different year while bookending in the present, where a freshly-released Ruben turns up uninvited at Niall's wedding to Alby.
