Baby Reindeer's shockwaves have only just subsided to a ripple since Richard Gadd's series based on his own life hit Netflix two years ago.
And now Gadd is back again with his latest release, but is it based on real life too?
Half Man was created, written and executive produced by Gadd and it's set to premiere today on BBC iPlayer on Friday 24 April.
The six-part series centres around the characters of Niall and Ruben who may not be brothers by blood, but form a deep and complex bond from growing up in the same house for part of their teenage years.
Spanning a 30-year period, the series flips from the present day at a wedding to significant moments throughout Niall and Ruben's relationship, looking at what's led to them becoming estranged and "the good, bad, terrible, funny, angry, and challenging moments along the way," as per HBO's release. And that's putting it lightly...
We've had a sneak peak at the first two episodes of Gadd's latest drama and if you thought Baby Reindeer made for a shocking and an uncomfortable viewing, prepare yourself for Half Man. It'll have you squirming in your seat, but makes for a seriously important, albeit visceral, watch.
The question is, are the characters and their experiences on-screen based on any part of Gadd's own life or people he knows? Here's what you need to know.
Is Half Man based on a true story?
Well, at the end of each episode, the drama clearly states in the credit scene that it is not based on a true story or true people and any similarities are unintentional.
And Gadd has addressed the inspirations behind the series too.
In an interview with the BBC, Gadd explained the idea for Half Man follows on from his past projects which have similarly "touched on masculinity in the context of [his] own struggles with being a man".
He continued: "All of my stories explore human feelings, but this time, I wanted to come up with an idea that explores what it means to be a man in this ever-changing world through these two characters.
"To me, it feels like the debate about men has reached quite a high pitch and, at the same time, become somewhat simplified."
Reflecting on the term "toxic masculinity" as a frequently used, but vital phrase, Gadd added he thinks it's "interesting that despite" the "visibility" of the word, "there are still aspects of it that haven’t yet been fully explored in the mainstream".
"I think that much of how society has been structured can lead to men having an inability to express themselves and express love and vulnerability, so it felt interesting to posit that conversation through Niall and Ruben," he added.
And for anyone drawing similarities between the series' set location and where Gadd spent a lot of time growing up? Well, the creator did draw some inspiration from his own experiences.
Gadd grew up in a town in Scotland outside of Dundee which he "wouldn't change for the world" but often felt like he "needed to get out and escape" from when young.
"That feeling is reflected in some of the earlier episodes where we see Niall and Ruben growing up in a smaller town outside the city. I think that adds a teenage hotbed of emotion and intensity to what the characters go through," he said.
The location of the series shifts in episode two, Gadd explaining he has "fond memories" from attending university in Glasgow himself and thinks it's "an amazing cultural city with a huge personality".
He added: "It almost marries the change that you want to see in the characters across the show - Glasgow evolves and changes around these guys as they struggle to change themselves."
Half Man is available to watch on BBC iPlayer from 6am on Friday, 24th April.
