Notting Hill

Episode 3 and Industry is less like Capital City and more like This Life. Again sex scenes are used to disguise that there is not much story here.

The This Life element is rammed home as Harper is now sharing a house with Yasmin in Notting Hill. The living arrangements are fraught with difficulties.

Harper is clearly seen as a talent who is going somewhere. Yasmin ends up muttering one of Harper's ideas to Kenny Kilbane. Before she knows it Yasmin is pitching it further when Kenny thinks he can get something out of it.

I think it would help that if some of the financial lingo was toned down. I'm not sure if those in financial banking would understand it all.

The dog eat dog element still means there are to many unlikeable characters. At least Harper is at home with the deceit. It is clear that she lied about making a sale in this episode.

Both Harper and Gus have seperate sex scenes. I think it was used to plug gaps in the script.

I am sorry. This really isn't for me but I have to watch it because a girl at work watches so I am catching up from the start (she is halfway through season 2).

There are no people here for me to resonate with. I am not ethnic minority, under 25vand living in the self-absorbed self-appointed capital city.

The only thing I can resonate with is Greg being left-handed.

To keep people interested, face sitting is thrown in towards the end of the episode.

Its the only thing that took my breath away in a very poor remake of "This Life" some thirty years before.

I have to E dure another 5 stories from this series and then the, episodes get longer in season 2.

It's going to be a long haul watching characters you don't care for.
