I haven't watched the show and don't wish to, but know about it generally and can see where it could be the Murdochs and it could be the entire republican party and capitalist system. However, I am far more fascinated at the theory that Wambsgans had to take out three people to get ahead, and in 1920, Bill Wambsganss made the only unassisted triple play in World Series history for Cleveland against my Dodgers. That makes me think that the writers on the show know and love baseball, and that shows they are good people.
Matthew Macfadyen first came to my notice for doing a British TV show, "Ripper Street" set in Victorian England where he plays Detective Inspector Edmund Reid, who is developing "modern" police investigatory techniques with Victorian-era science and knowledge.
He's also really excellent in "Quiz" about the British TV scandal, and the 2017 "Howard's End." I want to see "Operation Mincemeat" (the story of how Ian Fleming, while in MI6 in World War II, faked out the entire German high command that we were not going to invade Sicily when the fact we would was so obvious no one could miss it - yes, *that* Ian Fleming)
I liked "Operation Mincemeat" quite a bit, despite my attachment to the earlier (and obviously, much more highly fictionalized) version from the '50s, "The Man Who Never Was." I especially love Gloria Grahame's big scene, in which she "dictates" the letter to leave on the dead guy's body to make "him" seem more authentic. but I've always been a sucker for GG, who was certainly the real deal in Sexy Fifties Movie Stars (maybe it was her unique light lisp that did it for me).
of course, "Operation Mincemeat" is based (yet AGAIN) on one of Ben Macintyre's long list of terrific books about WW II, espionage, etc.
I saw him on stage once in "Much Ado About Nothing." this was at least twenty years ago. I need to catch up on the MANY cable series he was in. I know he met his current wife (sexy Keeley Hawes) when they were both in a Brit series called "MI5." and I don't remember whether or not you've seen "Slow Horses" (which I THINK is on Apple, which I know you hate, but it's also a terrific series, also about MI5, with Gary Oldman once again proving how much he can do.).

they're mostly Brits, so I'm not sure any of them are baseball fans to that degree. they're ARE other writers, half of whom are "yanks."
and now it's time to actually read the Chris Licht story. what a scumbag. and STOOOPID as a bad day is long.
