"Half Man is a bleak and brilliant thing. It leaves you with that rare and precious feeling that everyone involved... has given us the very best of themselves."
"The series isn't flawless. There are dips in pacing here and there, and a few of the women characters could be better written. But the density and layered nature of the writing win the day."
"Much of what's explored is hard-hitting and the specificity that made Baby Reindeer so effective isn't really present here."
