What is the release date for Half Man episode 5 on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer?

Niall looks at something offscreen.

It's only a matter of time before things turn fatal for tortured brothers Niall (Jamie Bell) and Ruben (Richard Gadd) — and with two episodes of Half Man left, we're a whisker away from finding out.

So far, Ruben has tried to play the legal system to get off of beating Alby (Bilal Hasna) to near death during Niall's university days, Ruben is now out of prison as an adult, claiming to have changed for the better.

But as we well know, appearances can be deceiving. But when will Half Man episode 5 be released on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer?

What time can I watch Half Man episode 5 on HBO Max and BBC iPlayer?

Let's take the HBO Max schedule first. Half Man episode 5 hits HBO Max on May 21.
