Half Man (2026)

Richard Gadd’s follow up to his incredibly successful series Baby Reindeer stars the writer-performer as Ruben Pallister, who we first meet confronting (and physically assaulting) Jamie Bell’s Niall Kennedy in private on Niall’s wedding day. The first episode then flashes back to young Niall (Mitchell Robertson) in high school getting bullied by some classmates. When the teacher enters, he informs the class that Ruben (the younger version played by Stuart Campbell) will be joining them after a two-year stint in juvenile detention. That means he’ll be living with Niall now, as Niall’s widowed mother Lori (Neve McIntosh) is now roommates/lovers with Ruben’s mom Maura (Marianne McIvor) since she left her alcoholic husband. Niall is scared because Ruben is pretty much a violent psychopath, but after helping Ruben pass his preliminary school exam, the two "brothers from another lover" become buddies. Especially after Ruben expresses his thanks by having his lady friend Mona (Charlotte Blackwood) take ol’ Niall’s virginity. With Ruben right there, helping him along. It’s a crazy start the the series, but we’re happily along for the ride thanks to Charlotte’s amazing bare boobage. Half Man will have you at full mast!
