Notice the three main characters are being played by actors connected with super heroes/villains.

(26,730 posts)A couple of years ago I read The Age of Edison: Electric Light and the Invention of Modern America which was absolutely breathtaking. And with all due respect, based on that preview, the book was vastly better.

(19,312 posts)I was always interested in the dynamics of the electric "wars", and there are some fine actors in it. Cumberbatch and Shannon, but I missed who was playing Tesla. Michael Shannon has been around a long time, and he's finally getting some roles commensurate to his talent. I generally like anything he's in.
OK, this is going on the "must see" list. Thanks for posting it!
