HBO Max's 'Euphoria' continues to dominate the streaming landscape, achieving impressive viewership figures with 8.5 million tuning in for its third season premiere within three days. The finale of the season saw an increase to 8.7 million viewers, averaging about 25 million viewers per episode, which marks a 17% rise compared to Season 2. Despite its success, 'Euphoria' faces competition from 'Half Man', a new thriller by Richard Gadd, which has quickly become the second-most-watched show on the platform. Critics have lauded Gadd's performance and the show's exploration of complex themes such as obsession and addiction. Described as 'masterfully tense', 'Half Man' builds on Gadd's previous success with 'Baby Reindeer', which won six Primetime Emmy Awards. As both shows continue to capture audiences worldwide, 'Half Man' proves to be a formidable contender in HBO Max's lineup, showcasing Gadd's talent and narrative depth.
