Half Man episode 3 spoilers: Can Niall truly get away?

After what you see tonight on HBO, it is hard to blame you for wanting to dive into Half Man episode 3 more or less immediately. This is a dark, painful, and brutal story all about masculinity gone terribly wrong. Niall wants nothing more to be free and yet, he still struggles to let himself go. The decision to call Ruben up in episode 2 very much proved catastrophic.

With Niall, we are looking at a man still struggling with his feelings, his identity, and who he ultimately is. He wants to be a version of himself and yet, feels tremendous fear as a result. We know now that, somehow, he and Alby do find a way to make it to the wedding altar. He doesn’t know what to do.

Moving forward, the one thing that we can say here is that there are going to be more layers, largely exposed through the past. We are moving past graduation, so there is another jump forward!

To get a few more details now about Half Man episode 2, go ahead and check out the synopsis below:

Having graduated at the top of his class, Niall hopes to go to England and get away from Ruben. But when Lori and Maura pressure him to lie for Ruben in court, Niall faces a weighty decision.

Ultimately, this show is not about to become any less toxic. After all, we are dealing with someone in Ruben who serves as a dark spirit. He refuses to let go, and also refuses to in some way even understand himself.

Do we hope that Richard Gadd is on-screen more for the remainder of the season? Absolutely. Yet, at the same time, we are still enjoying what feels in some ways to be a dark history lesson that leads to where we are in the present.
