Baby Reindeer undoubtedly took the world by storm when it first premiered on Netflix in 2024. Darkly funny, stressful, and addictive to watch, viewers experienced creator Richard Gadd's lived experience of being stalked. Now, with HBO's Half Man, Gadd's sophomore series delves into familiar territory but ramps up everything for a story about two brothers in a toxic and dangerous relationship with each other.
Gadd stars once again, this time alongside Jamie Bell, in a series that serves up heaping doses of lessons on masculinity, homophobia, and self-harm, along with bloody violence. Baby Reindeer wasn't for the faint of heart, but it's nothing compared to the non-stop tension in Half Man.
