The HBO/BBC show overplays the excesses but gets a lot spot on, from the expensive dinners to the often cruel ‘banter’

uring my first weeks on a graduate program in investment banking, I spent most of my days unattended on the desk, praying for the phone not to ring. After yet another day of avoiding doing anything in particular, I began to fear that sitting silently might also not be the best way to impress on the trading floor jungle. After stewing and deliberating for some time, I walked past my boss’s empty desk to Amin’s – the next one along – and dispatched my best banal 5pm small talk.

The fiction world of film & TV has always been obsessed with drugs; cocaine in particular. Never understood it.

It's everywhere , your obviously blind.

Ah yes the “were not doing what everyone says we’re doing, honest!” approach to crime, privilege and racism. Gotta love it.

The first episode was so badly written and directed, I couldn't even understand what's going on. But probably it's the point of it all.

I guess you weren't around in the Go-Go 80's. It was a blizzard.

Another one of these shows where i'm surprised the characters have anytime left to do actual work. Complete horse manure

er, sales and finance floors in London- oh there was NOT enough cocaine in this show

Tbf the 'have you bought the evening standard' for being a minute late is pretty good

They're playing candy crush aren't they?🤣

likely story!

Speaking as someone who used to work in finance you’re not looking very hard

maybe you’re a dork so no one give you any

Try looking in “Deposits”!

I have about 10 different numbers, if he wants.

It is, you just have to know where to look.

Because you’re a nerd and they don’t do it around you

this is terrible news

Going back to my very early career days working in the City, the main problems were alcohol (still a big problem) and heroin - plenty of high functioning smack addicts..

Yep, I always miss memos when I'm off my twot on coke
