Half Man (PILOT)

Half Man is like A24’s 21 Jump Street. Richard Gadd’s latest kicks off its six-episode run with a queasy coming-of-age story. Episode 1 sets up two timelines, focusing on the relationship between a brother-esque duo as they navigate dysfunctional authority figures, warped bullying power dynamics, and the psychosexual chaos of adolescence. On the pod, we unpack, in lighthearted conversation, what this dark comedy-drama has in store: standout moments, performances, comparisons, and our thoughts on Gadd and his previous series, Baby Reindeer, plus what the reception has been so far. Tune in to hear our rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
