Industry: Industry (2020)

September 27, 2024 7:08 PM - Season 1 (Full Season)

Young bankers and traders make their way in the financial world in the aftermath of the 2008 collapse.

Sex and drugs and the trading floor in this BBC show, streaming on Max. I'm sort of shocked it has not yet been posted. Just now wrapping the third season.

I'm about halfway through the first season and really enjoying it. Great acting, writing, directing. First episode focuses on Nabhaan Rizwan's character who played Frank in an outstanding small part of Station Eleven (and is now Dionysus on Kaos). Myha'la is consistently excellent as the lead.

So glad to see this here! I don't know how everyone (including me) slept on this for so long. I described it to a friend as being like Succession, but set in London, about the finance workers, and with loads of sex and drugs.

They make a Kendall Roy joke (Rishi comes in wearing all black, with black baseball cap) at some point in Season 2, and I appreciate the self-awareness. It's a very enjoyable show.
