Series Brief

Overview

In the cutthroat world of international finance, a group of young graduates compete for a limited set of permanent positions at a top investment bank in London. The boundaries between colleague, friend, lover, and enemy soon blur as they immerse themselves in a company culture defined as much by sex, drugs and ego as it is by deals and dividends.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 85 /100

Industry has evolved from its origins as a gritty, steamy look at banking culture into a critically acclaimed drama often compared to Succession. While early reviews noted the series felt like a familiar workplace drama with high-stakes financial jargon, critics now widely regard it as an unflinching, masterfully tense series defined by its sharp writing and a powerhouse performance from Myha’la.

Over its multiple seasons, the show has leaned into an atmosphere of extreme cynicism and intense pressure. The consensus describes a narrative that has grown increasingly dark, creating a "nightmarish" but addictive experience for viewers who appreciate its blend of emotional complexity and ruthless professional maneuvering.

“Industry is operating at optimal bleakness… the cynicism is so high that it's practically in orbit.”

“This is unflinching, merciless five-star television.”

“It not only allows the series to grow but forces it to become the most impressive version of itself.”

“Atmospheric, moving, exceptionally written, and featuring a stunning indie soundtrack.”

Why fans love it

Industry treats the high-stakes environment of London finance as a playground for raw ambition. Rather than focusing on the mechanics of trade, the show highlights how personal identity is consumed by the relentless demands of a top investment bank. The pressure to secure a permanent role forces graduates into messy alliances where professional survival often takes precedence over individual ethics.

The series succeeds by emphasizing the volatility of these young professionals. Myha'la anchors the narrative as the office hierarchy shifts and fractures under the weight of ego and exhaustion. Life outside the office is no less frantic, with social boundaries proving just as fragile as corporate reputations. It creates a rhythm that feels perpetually tense, mirroring a group of people who understand that every deal is a potential catastrophe.
