HBO’s Industry Finally Delivers a Love Story—With a Twist

has never had a problem investing in the sizzle of psychosexual spectacle. Since it premiered in the fall of 2020, the series has traded almost exclusively in competitively edgy sex scenes. There’s been ejaculate-licking, golden showers, and priapic bad daddies. What there hasn’t been, however, is a love scene. Or a love story.

The Season 3 finale delivers both. After years of teasing “will they or won’t they?” when it comes to hunky salesman Robert Spearing and posh FX trader Yasmin Kara-Hanani , the show finally answers in the affirmative. Not only do they have sex, they make love—and on the idyllic grounds of posh twit Henry Muck’s ancestral home, no less. After so many years of fetishistic feints at intimacy and brutal power plays among pals, the evolution of Yas and Rob’s relationship arrives as a palate cleanser.

Is love worth the inherent risk of its necessary vulnerability? Or can the combination of money and power compensate for a life without courage or connection? These are new themes given to Yas, the series’ Poor Little Rich Girl, to sort out for herself. And while even Yas concedes her fate may be largely predetermined by forces beyond her control, the season finale makes the emotional basis of her decisionmaking process clear in legibly human ways.

It’s an interesting pitch that conceals a complicated reality. Yas may lead Rob into the garden to consecrate their chemistry with whispered, but it’s the ties that bind Yas that see her choose a family, and a partner, just like Daddy. Ultimately, it’s her father’s ring that Henry slides on her finger.Two of Our Most Charming TV Actors Have Brought Us the Next Great Rom-Com Series“I understand,” Rob tells her after her engagement to Henry is announced later that night.

Yas’ capacity to feel love—if even for an afternoon—marks a kind of incremental personal progress. Her decision to trade it for a well-heeled imitation, however, represents a benchmark in her professional development. In choosing to gamble on the protective power of money and class over the inherent risks of love, Yas proves that she, too, can be a ruthless trader, contrary to everything that her peers at Pierpoint looked down on her for.
