I sat down to interview Richard Gadd, who won three Emmys for Netflix's Baby Reindeer, and now returns with HBO's Half Man, which he created, wrote, and stars in.
Synopsis:
Ruben (Gadd) turns up at his estranged brother Niall's (Jamie Bell) wedding, acting as a catalyst for a revival of the last 40 years of their relationship.
In this interview, Gadd details everything from how he created a wild vocal transformation, dropping his voice many octaves, to how he deals with the most emotionally taxing scenes on set.
On the writing side, he breaks down his process for creating stories with a non-linear narrative structure that falls into a rhythm while also upsetting expectations.
It’s a mini master class from one of the youngest and most provocative voices in prestige TV.
Here is the trailer:
The full series is available on HBO Max.
