Half Man - on BBCiPlayer from the 24th

[fundamentallyauthentic]

Anyone else looking forward to seeing this new show from the writer and star of Baby Reindeer that begins tomorrow?

The six episodes in the series will be dropped weekly from tomorrow morning at 6.00 on iPlayer and will be broadcast on BBC1 the following Tuesday at 22.40. I want to be clear that this thread is for people who won't be waiting to watch when it's broadcast. So, this is the spoiler thread, and it's OK to talk about what we've seen as soon as it's been shown on iPlayer!

I like the Billy Elliot/Bernie Taupin actor

Yes , very much so

Enjoyed Baby Reindeer which was also written by and starred Richard Gadd .

This should equally powerful and compelling .

Bump for tomorrow.

Thought the first episode was enthralling, uncomfortable and brilliantly acted. I’m annoyed though I can’t binge the series.

Really looking forward to this. Absolutely loved Baby Reindeer and found it fascinating. Actually quite glad it's dropping once a week - I don't think Richard Gadd's material is designed to be binged, and it probably isn't a great idea anyway, for the sake of your health!

Also watched the first episode today and liked it a lot. Uncomfortable though!

I started it and have had to pause it. It’s bloody bleak so I’ll have to watch it in chunks I think.

I'm waiting to binge.

I thought it was great but no idea on the plot yet !

Just finished episode one. It's a lot!

Very dark, very bleak, really well acted. I'm intrigued to see what comes next, and quite relieved that bingeing isn't possible because I think it would be too much to take

I absolutely hated it. What’s the message from Ep1? Two mums are even worse than one? I think Lucy Mangan with her five star Guardian review must have lost her mind. IMHO this piece nails it.

Misery porn set in a world where women exist as B characters. Watched the first one, can't be bothered with the rest.
