Leonardo K @RT80520392 Sep 28, 2026 Industry collapses under even the slightest logical scrutiny. It feels less like London finance than a bunch of uninteresting American teenagers playing adults in front of Bloomberg terminals. The semi-explicit sex, drugs and nonstop harassment are not narrative elements; they are camouflage for the absence of one. Explicit material can strengthen a story — Trainspotting proved that decades ago — but when sex and cocaine become the story, it usually means there isn’t much of one. The workplace behaviour is absurd for the 2020s: graduates sexually harass coworkers almost as a default form of interaction, while social media and modern dating culture barely seem to exist. Public drug use in this environment feels imported from the Gordon Gekko era. Nothing escalates because almost nothing matters. Episode two contains roughly five minutes of actual narrative movement stretched across an hour. Naive, vanilla and painfully shallow.

See more Vic F @Vic_F Jul 10, 2026 The plot seemed fine but I simply cannot get past the unnecessary background noise and audio. I don’t understand the rationale of having constant instruments playing in the background during normal scenes that don’t warrant it. See more Michael Shane B @KVD1969 May 19, 2026 The first season of the high-stakes financial drama Industry premiered on HBO in November 2020. The narrative follows a group of ambitious young college graduates as they fight for permanent positions at the prestigious London investment bank, Pierpoint & Co. Throughout the eight-episode installment, viewers witness characters like Harper, Yasmin, and Robert navigate a toxic workplace culture defined by extreme competitiveness, corruption, sex, and drugs. As the pressure intensifies, professional boundaries quickly blur, turning friends and lovers into fierce boardroom rivals. The freshman season culminates in a tense "Reduction in Force" day, where the trainees must stand before senior management to justify their survival at the firm.

That said season one harkened to the so bad they were good big time soaps on steroids from my youth…. and with an English accent. Gave it a 3 back for season 2. The characters are so despicable with a slight grain of reality. See more Jack B @Jack427 Feb 12, 2026 I don't think I've ever seen a more disgusting, psychotic creature than Harper Stern. Totally and completely unlikable. I so wanted her to kill herself by the last episode. Oh, well - there's always hope it happens in Season 2. See more Read all reviews
