Andy The Giggler reviews ‘Industry’. An HBO drama series about young bankers and traders navigating the cutthroat world of high finance after the 2008 financial crisis:
Premise: The show follows a group of recent graduates competing for full-time positions at Pierpoint & Co., a prestigious London investment bank. The show also follows the bank's senior staff as they compete for promotions and clients.
Characters: Some of the characters include:
Yasmin Kara-Hanani: A wealthy nepotism hire
Harper Stern: An aggressive non-target hire
Robert Spearing: A working-class Oxbridge graduate
Gus Sackey: A polished/wealthy Oxbridge graduate
Eric Tao: The sales MD
Bill Adler: The Head of FICC
Rishi Ramdani: The head execution trader
Kir Harrington: Joins in Season 3
Creators: Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, both former bankers, created the show.
Themes: The show explores themes of backstabbing, drugs, sex, parental issues, and the drive to succeed in business.
Comparisons: Some have compared Industry to Succession and Euphoria, but say it's more like a messy teen soap like Gossip Girl.
Where to watch: You can stream ‘Industry’ on HBO Max.
