Finessing complicated financial jargon into scathing repartee, Industry's stock is way up in this superlative sophomore season full of frustrated ambitions and tested loyalties.

4/5
The financial jargon is very true to life, I’m told, but ultimately it’s impenetrable to plebs like me... It’s a testament to the strength of the storytelling, that despite this sizeable hurdle, season two is still genuinely thrilling to television. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 09/28/2022
Continues to be excellently written by the former bankers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the human dramas easily followable through a tsunami of acronyms and complex financial jargon. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian 09/28/2022
4/5
Somehow, no matter how terrible they are, I am rooting for Robert, Yas and Harper to succeed – or not even to succeed, but to somehow get out of there alive. Go to Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 09/27/2022
This second season of Industry finds an even better stride than its predecessor by catching up to a post-lockdown world where the corporate system not only adapted to Covid, it profited mightily. Go to Full Review Archika Khurana The Times of India 09/27/2022
3.5/5
Both Mickey Down and Konrad Kay have created an interesting ensemble cast attempting to find themselves professionally and personally in the cutthroat world of investment banking at Pierpoint. Go to Full Review Keith Watson metro.co.uk 09/27/2022

While Industry overflows with toxic relationships and as an advert for a career in finance it’s as inviting as a bath in cold sick, somehow I’m invested. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Michael Shane B @KVD1969 May 19 The second season of the financial drama Industry premiered on HBO in August 2022, following young traders navigating a post-pandemic trading floor at Pierpoint & Co. Harper Stern risks her career by partnering with a new hedge fund manager, while Yasmin Kara-Hanani navigates complex personal and financial shifts. The eight-episode arc focuses on intense, high-stakes competition within the London investment bank. The season concludes with a dramatic finale, where Harper is fired after Eric Tao reveals her forged academic credentials to cover for insider trading.

See more Myles H @myleshungerford Mar 8 After suffering through the very boring first season and now the even more boring second season, I have to ask why fans like this show. It is so incredibly dull. It has surface level finance lingo. The cast has displayed surface level emotions. But there’s nothing there underneath the thin veneer. See more Michael K @kennedyland Feb 6 I watched the first season hoping things would progress, however, after watching half of the second season, I'm growing weary of this program. Lot of sex, nudity, and lots of people who - frankly - are total jerks. I imagine it's all the boobs and butts that keep this going, because the storyline is stalled. More of a soap opera with sex scenes than anything else. See more Brian D @Brianwd2 05/21/2025 74%. 5/19/25. Solid second season. Starts with COVID and Harper staying at a hotel and going after Jesse Bloom the huge hedge fund manager. She works with him, and eventually screws over Pierpoint and gets played by Jesse. At the end of the season she gets fired for forging her diploma. About as equally entertaining as the first season. See more Alex C @RT40993437 11/01/2024 Enjoyable drama. Dont know how you could be expected to warm to harper. Shes dull and detestable. Otherwise very good See more Read all reviews
