It was a night of surprises at the BAFTA TV Awards, with “The Crown” and “Black Mirror” failing to pick up any awards while “Succession” walked away with only one for Matthew Macfadyen for best supporting actor.
Macfadyen did not attend the awards at London’s Royal Festival Hall, prompting Helena Bonham Carter, who presented the category, to walk off with the iconic gold BAFTA mask with the promise she would get it to Macfadyen.

SundanceTV’s “The A Word” tells a story of a family after their 5-year-old son Joe is diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Playing with that title, the show is doing an “A-word of the week” ahead of each episode. This week’s word is “adolescence,” which is highlighted in an IndieWire exclusive clip below.

While the show does center on the young boy and the struggles of autism, the show also pays attention to the entire family and their lives both related and not related to Joe.
