'Succession' Star Matthew Macfadyen on the Secret to Tom's 'Psycho' Behavior (Exclusive)
Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) is on the sidelines as well, but in a different way. He's one way with somebody and another way with somebody else, like we all are, a little bit. Macfadyen recalls a scene in season 1 where Roman has to "come up and say something" to Tom. Macfadyen also praises the writers for their "beautiful" work on Tom and Shiv's vulnerable talk in the season 2 finale. "It's just a really lovely way to work -- it means you really have to concentrate and you're paying attention, and it goes really quickly, actually.
'The Current War' casts dim light on birth of electricity
(CNN) - "The Current War" is a fascinating story, badly told. The film's release is being billed as its "Director's Cut," but cutting -- and editing -- is a big part of the problem. That means the producers have a couple of Avengers to help lead them into battle, alas, to little avail. Instead, the story detours too heavily into the use of electricity as a means of execution, a strand with lingering relevance that nevertheless plays here like a distraction. "The Current War: Director's Cut" premieres Oct. 25 in the US.
