Television: Bankers ripping each other apart makes for an engaging blood sport until you realise there’s not much else going on

. Superficially, the parallels are certainly striking. The BBC-HBO co-production chronicles the back-stabbing goings-on at a London investment bank full of nasty people being horrible to one another – a milieu once removed from that of Succession .

But is it as good as the chatter would have you believe? Succession was groundbreaking in that it forensically exposed the agonies of the mega-rich – and made the rest of us feel better about being skint strivers. But in Industry, which tracks a team of ethically bankrupt traders at fictional Pierpoint and Co, the less original message is that high finance is a cesspit populated by overworked, over-medicated, over-sexed monsters. To which the obvious reply is: tell us something we didn’t know.

Her concerns are justified. Her needy boss, Eric , has been warned he must display an improved capacity for cruelty if he wishes to remain as a partner at Pierpoint. He flirts with binning Yasmin but instead sacks Irishman Kenny, . The crime Kenny has committed is kindness – when Eric’s wife turfed him out, it was Kenny who took Eric in. In Eric’s eyes, that is confirmation that Kenny is a nice guy – and in a bear pit such as Pierpoint, he has to go.
