Season 1 Review:
While there’s not a bad performance in the bunch—Leung, Abela, Freya Mavor, and David Jonsson are particular standouts—the fine acting doesn’t render “Industry” appointment-viewing. There’s a frustrating and probably deliberate sameness to the first three episodes in particular; characters often repeat the same beats in new configurations again and again, which adds thematic richness while also making each episode feel a bit stale.

Season 1 Review:
It isn't just the sheer volume of mumbo-jumbo that's impenetrable. Down and Kay, in their first series as creators, rush through the hierarchy and structure at Pierpoint, leaving it for viewers to figure out the reporting structure. ... Maybe if the creators are able to give the context some real meaning, Industry will evolve beyond tawdry, infectious fun into something more HBO-appropriate, as opposed to "Too spicy for Freeform, not spicy enough for Starz." The upside feels like a YA version of Succession.

Season 3 Review:
The series aims, in its third season, to pair power plays of the sort “Game of Thrones” specialized in with the agon of “Uncut Gems” and the brutal humor and banality of “Barry.” That’s a tough recipe to nail. In this case the result, while certainly entertaining, abandons realism — and the sense of moral peril that characterized earlier seasons — for plots that range from soapy to pulpy to simply absurd.

Season 1 Review:
The show is heavily reliant on the specifics of the financial world but, ironically, could be interchanged with any other stressful profession. More interested in exploring the rotating bedfellows of entry-level workers, “Industry” has little to actually say about the industry that it showcases.

Season 1 Review:
All the pieces work fine — its gray and noisy world is fully realized and each character has a clearly defining schtick. But the show doesn’t appear to be about anything. Everyone is in favor of winning and opposed to losing, but there’s no meaningful motivation or specificity to any of their behaviors.
