I've loved this show and its synth soundtrack since the beginning, when it was SKINS meets SUCCESSION in a cutthroat London finance firm. That was when Harper's biggest problem was that she secretly went to SUNY-Binghamton and my biggest problem was that I didn't really understand the financial jargon. Everyone was stressed out, made bad decisions, and partied hard -- basically, Kendall Roy. In Seasons 3 and Season 4, the show made the best decision to pivot away from the singular firm and into a loose interpretation of its title, looking at various other industries (government, banking) and how they're all intertwined, playing fast and loose with money and Harper could short them. Aside from all the storylines, the character work is tremendous and have I mentioned the soundtrack? Brilliant. Harper and Eric are my favorite toxic American duo in England -- two dysfunctional POC who are somehow the weirdest finance kindred spirits, but it works -- and I hope they reunite in the final season.

“If you’re still sleeping on Industry, eat some prunes, go to the toilet, and get your shit TOGETHER because the latest season finale just dropped, and you best believe screams were coming from my apartment. I can neither confirm nor deny whether said screams were coming from me or my cats. That episode took years off my life and I have zero regrets. Let me just say this: nothing will prepare you f”

“Equal parts Succesion, Euphoria, and Girls- a HBO show about a cohort of elite UK college hires joining the prestigious, brutal rat race (a career in finance) at an esteemed fictional financial institution in London. It’s so sexy, toxic, darkly funny, and fully insane. Some of the most savage and creative insults/dialogue you’ll hear on TV.”
