BBC viewers have been captivated by 'Industry', a drama following young graduates navigating the cutthroat world of investment banking at London's Pierpoint and Co. after the 2008 financial crisis. The series, now in its fourth season, recently concluded with Harper Stern (Myha'la Herrold) exposing tech firm Tender, leading to its downfall.
Created by former investment bankers Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the show has drawn comparisons to HBO's award-winning 'Succession', with many fans declaring it superior. One viewer stated, 'I was hooked after the first episode. This is an incredible and diverse cast.' Another on Substack claimed, 'Industry Is the Best Show on TV, and it's better than Succession.'
The series features a stellar cast including Kit Harington, Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, and Harry Lawtey. Fans have praised its razor-sharp exploration of high finance, with one commenting, 'Industry is a brilliant, razor-sharp exploration of the intoxicating world of high finance, capturing both its magnetic allure and its devastating toxicity.'
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that 'Industry' will return for a fifth and final series. Creators Down and Kay explained, 'For some time now, we have been thinking about how best to end the show on an unparalleled high. Unlike some of our characters, we know when to leave a party.' They thanked the 'evangelical fan base' and praised the cast and crew for their world-class performances.
All episodes of 'Industry' are available to stream on BBC iPlayer, offering viewers the chance to catch up before the final season airs.
