A Dark, Codependent Bond at the Heart of Half Man

The New Yorker’s Inkoo Kang reviews Half Man, HBO/BBC’s drama about Niall and Ruben—two men who call themselves brothers—whose decades‑long, fiercely codependent relationship blends protection, aggression, and sexual tension. Set in Glasgow and driven by time jumps that heighten dread, the series probes internalized homophobia, power dynamics, and self-loathing, anchored by standout performances from Jamie Bell and Richard Gadd. While Ruben’s pathology can feel schematic, Niall’s complex, self-aware arc and the show’s mature take on masculinity carry the narrative toward a tense, emotionally charged meditation on family, desire, and culpability.

"Jon Stewart's Return: Revamping Talk TV for the 2024 Election"

Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow, and Jen Psaki are part of a new Monday-only TV scheduling experiment by Comedy Central and MSNBC, aiming to boost attention and ad revenue. Stewart will host "The Daily Show" once a week for the 2024 election cycle, while Maddow and Psaki make bespoke Monday appearances. The move comes as networks seek to capitalize on Monday's high viewership and attract new audiences. While there are signs of increased ad spending and viewership on Mondays, it remains to be seen if this strategy will translate to sustained growth across the rest of the week.
