‘Are you going to stop being such a pussy?” asks Eric Tao in the third season of HBO finance drama Industry. Eric is a ruthless boss at the London offices of fictional bank Pierpoint & Co. In the season opener, he’s delivering tough love to Robert Spearing , a young banker whose client just died unexpectedly. “Say it with me,” Eric commands. “I’m a man and I’m relentless.” Robert tentatively repeats the phrase, gradually getting louder until both men are screaming together.
Then there’s Rishi Ramdani . Pierpoint’s loudest chauvinist often feels as if he belongs in the 1950s. At the office, he is aggressive and crass – at one point he screams “I am violence!” on the trading floor. In his home life, Rishi is more sensitive: after moving his young family to the countryside, near where his wife, Diana grew up, he craves acceptance from the Barbour-clad community.
Henry’s obscene wealth allows him to constantly reinvent himself, but this also stops him from discovering who he really is. Everyone envies him, but he’s lost and miserable. “If your life is constantly consequence-free, it’s barely worth living,” says Kay. “It’s not a proper existence. You’re counting the hours ’til you die.”
When Rishi’s wife finally discovers he has racked up £200,000 in gambling debts, she asks him a pertinent question: “Do you know what being a man is?” Suddenly, his armour – fast car, well-paid job in the city, beautiful wife, big house in the country – seems flimsy. She answers her own question: “It’s how you treat the people who expect your love.”By her logic, the male characters are failing.
