Industry

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.

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.

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.
