HBO's 'Industry': TV Review

was designed as an almost voyeuristic, but still realistic, look at the machinations at a London investment firm, complete with insider tidbits aplenty. Instead it plays as a COVID-free fantasy about a bunch of young people who work on a much-too-crowded trading floor and spend their evenings at much-too-crowded, sweaty nightclubs. Nobody sleeps. Nobody has time for hygiene. Everybody is hooking up all over the place.

Our main characters are graduate trainees at London's Pierpoint & Co,"the world's preeminent financial services institution." It's a program designed to milk them for their youth and vitality — a program that only half of them will complete, according to Ken Leung's Eric Tso, a senior advisor of sorts. Providing point-of-entry innocence is Harper , a scrappy American whose academic credentials seem sketchy to the snooty pool of Eton/Oxford/Cambridge grads.
