Industry

A refreshing take of the financial industry, where you have the old guard of employees protecting their assets, while the company all the time search for new talent that is hungry for success in whatever way it takes. There's twist and turns in every episode that is driven by a superb cast, who really burns through the screen in the best possible way, even their characters are mean or nasty. It's about money, lots of deals, drugs to perform or just to get a rush, sex is used as a tool to get what they want or just for the sake of it, all part of being young and hungry for more. If you liked Succession you will also love this one.

Only just started watching the series after it kept popping up. Currently on season 3.

There's literally a ton of screwing going on between mad parties and constant snorting of cocainand pill popping. It's a wonder these people ever get any work done. When they do, it's cut throat stock transactions.

As someone else said, Harper, the main character, is annoying, two-faced, cutthroat and constantly has resting bit@h face.

I can barely keep up with it and don't even understand what's going on half the time 😒 🤣🤣but for some reason I can't stop watching it. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. It's definitely compelling.

Started slow but got better and better and better. Compulsively horrible characters, but always empathetic. Genuinely surprising ending.

Industry can't escape being compared to Billions which - with all its shortcomings - is probably considered the best finance tv-series around. Yet Industry is my new favourite (and a close second for all those lured by the crazy plot-twists of Billions): indeed a more realistic and better written one in a lot of departments.

I don't have the time nor the background to feel like dissecting the storylines, the cliffhangers, the characters, the overall writing style, the acting. Let's simplify by saying that overall Billions is better produced and hits harder with a lot of climaxes, surprises and... billions. Industry on the other end is more consistent, less pretentious and more realistically focused on the daily experiences of new-hires in a wealth management firm. Unfortunately some plot holes, puzzling characters and overindulgent coverage of sex-drug related behaviours drag the production down quite a bit.

Love it. Relationships at work. Success. Failure. Flirt. Maybe traders are not like these, but I think it's superb how they portray this life full of ups and downs where everything is so intense. Well done.
