Graduates from all walks of life compete for a limited number of available full-time employment opportunities at Pierpoint, a top investment bank in London; the graduates include Harper Stern, a Black upstate New York native who uproots her life in pursuit of success, despite having lied about the university she attended, Hari Dhar, a state-school graduate and child of Hindi-speaking immigrants, Augustus "Gus" Sackey, a gay Black British graduate of Eton and Oxford, Robert Spearing, a white working-class Oxford graduate who is eager to please and Yasmin Kara-Hanani, a privileged, well-connected child of Lebanese parents with an underachieving, drug-addled boyfriend.

Critics Consensus

Though Industry's social critiques tend toward the superficial, sharp writing and an excellent ensemble make it easy to enjoy its soapy workplace drama.

Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 03/25/2021
The first season deftly taps into a range of topical issues: gender relations, workplace relations, sexuality, the exploitative nature of some employment. And it gives them nuance and complexity. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 01/27/2021
3/5
Self-interest and self-absorption remains the order of the day, and it's this lack of heart that leaves Industry feeling bleak and empty at its core. Go to Full Review Rebecca Harrison Sight & Sound 12/17/2020
Watching the show is a bit like being sober and listening to someone at a party who's four drinks in and has a rolled-up note in their hand: they have an awful lot to say, but I can't help wondering why, exactly, I'm meant to care.

4/5
It makes the world of banking look deeply unappealing, but makes it very fun to watch others suffer through it. Go to Full Review Marlow Stern The Daily Beast 12/30/2020
While the show is set in the cutthroat world of London forex trading, involving a bunch of aspiring bankers, it provides a fascinating little peek inside the halls of power... Go to Full Review Shannon Melero Jezebel 12/04/2020

Michelle W. @michellewhitaker Jan 14 I really wanted to like it’s recommended along some shows I already love. However it was absolutely awful. I know the English are well known for their lack of emotional depth or passion, but this was next level. The only ones who ever seemed to do any work were the American characters. No one else ever showed an ounce of emotion besides anger or horniness. This show was so shallow and lacked anything interesting. See more Brian D @Brianwd May 10 72%. 5/6/25. Decent first season. Harper isn't very likable. Wish I understood their job a little better, but still entertaining enough. Surprised how sexual the show is. Like the intensity of the job and the people. 1/5 rewatch - no need to rewatch this season See more rqast Apr 15 Strong season. Takes an episode or two to get interesting but when the series finds its footing it gets really good. See more S L @Forkuk 12/29/2024 So boring, I know it’s meant to show the shallow, empty part of the financial industry, but nothing nice happens to anyone, really you finish watching it and realise there’s absolutely no point wasting your time, honestly not recommended, there’s much more cool stuff to watch See more Himura K @Himura 12/10/2024 If you want to see gorgeous men and women tear at each other, abuse one another socially and psychologically this is for you. Awful, vain, hedonistic people (each and every single character in the show) being toxic and literally fucking each other in every episode. If revenge porn is your thing, go for it. The show wanted to show the stakes were high, but, staying 72 hours at office while sleeping at toilet had me roll my eyes. A lot of random stupid choices. It should have had likable characters. See more Lefty L 09/30/2024 bloody brilliant. i mean bloody and brilliant. See more Read all reviews
