Industry

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

Let's be honest, this show is not for typical tv viewers. There is a lot in each episode to sift through, between the characters interactions, how events cause reactions that don't happen until episodes later; even the financial "jargon" they use is confusing. Not to mention the subject just might not be someone's cup of tea.

However that does little to subtract from the show. On the contrary I like the fact we get drawn deep into the "Industry". The writing is excellent, the soundtrack is something any synth lover would adore, the characters are multi-dimensional with their own shortcomings and goals. And the cinematography as well as the continuity, are both great. I noticed in a scene after a meeting that the characters in the meeting were going back to their desks in the background unfocused which was a nice touch.

Overall I would recommend this to anyone who would be remotely interested in what would go on in a high level bank or even for some sleazy office drama.

Having fun watching not one decent person in a very large, but OK cast. I once thought I could be a broker, so I took and passed my Series 3 and 7. I was the worst salesman in the world, so I quit before I got fired. That being said, nearly all the men---and they were in those days, all men...I met at my firm (a small regional) and at other firms were decent human beings; most of them did like to drink, but always behaved themselves.

But the people in this amusing series are utterly despicable, devoid of any sense of shame, loyalty, compassion, ethics, or common decency, Even the best person depicted, Gus, is untrustworthy. Everybody degrades everybody, including themselves. Still, horrible people are fun to watch.

This show is very intriguing and frustrating at the same time. It's a good story and with a talented cast but my struggle is with the characters. There is absolutely nothing to like about these characters. Even the "bad" guy in a film can exhibit some human emotions that the audience can identify with but the characters in Industry have no redeeming qualities. They're arrogant, rude, self centered, morally depraved people.

The most annoying character is Harper. There's nothing sympathetic about her. She is so ill mannered, manipulative, expresses poor judgement, and a pathological liar. She always looks like a deer in the headlights. She's a deeply sad and depressing character. Yet I'm still watching and holding out hope that someone in the show will emerge as decent person or at least redeemable.

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.
