Half Man, was fucking excellent. It ended exactly like it should have (very #AnimalKingdom), giving it a whole #Shakespearean vibe. Compelling & complex, with the two leads, Gadd & Bell, playing characters equally awful in different ways, & does not position them to seek redemption, or create anti-heroes out of them. If the violence & intensity doesn't make people too nervous, it's gonna hit like a motherfucker at awards season.

Richard Gadd Breaks Silence on ‘Half Man’ Finale!
💥 The creator-star reveals why the shocking ending, brutal barn fight & Niall’s death had to stay “ambiguous” — saying a neat ending “didn’t feel true to life.” 😳🩸

🎭 Gadd also called filming the intense fight with Jamie Bell “physically grueling” and one of the show’s most emotional moments.
