‘Industry’ Star Kit Harington on Henry Muck’s Acid-Popping Descent Into Supernatural Despair and Unraveling the ‘Real Trauma in His Past’

Key Highlights

• In the first few scenes alone, he’s humiliated on stage at the local election in his bid to become a Conservative Party member of parliament, then back at the vast country pile sees his relatively fresh marriage to Yasmin (Marisa Abela) loudly unravel as he lies hungover in a four-poster bed, mopes around in a silk dressing gown feeling sorry for himself, and gives up his libido in exchange for lines of coke (and much more).

• At a glittering birthday party Yasmin (kitted out like Marie Antoinette) throws for Henry, he ups the drug-taking with some LSD, and then, leaving the party, embarks on a violent adventure with a visitor.
• At the pub, having gotten into a physical fight with one of the locals, the audience learns that the friend Henry’s with is a figment of his imagination — the ghost of his late father (a man looming large over all his growing mental health woes).
• Later, back at the estate, Henry tries to end it all for good in a garage (his father had also taken his own life).
