Andy The Giggler reviews ‘Industry’. An HBO drama series about young bankers and traders navigating the cutthroat world of high finance after the 2008 financial crisis:

• Premise: The show follows a group of recent graduates competing for full-time positions at Pierpoint & Co., a prestigious London investment bank. The show also follows the bank's senior staff as they compete for promotions and clients.

• Characters: Some of the characters include:

  • Yasmin Kara-Hanani: A wealthy nepotism hire

  • Harper Stern: An aggressive non-target hire

  • Robert Spearing: A working-class Oxbridge graduate

  • Gus Sackey: A polished/wealthy Oxbridge graduate

  • Eric Tao: The sales MD

  • Bill Adler: The Head of FICC

  • Rishi Ramdani: The head execution trader

  • Kir Harrington: Joins in Season 3

• Creators: Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, both former bankers, created the show.

• Themes: The show explores themes of backstabbing, drugs, sex, parental issues, and the drive to succeed in business.

• Comparisons: Some have compared Industry to Succession and Euphoria, but say it's more like a messy teen soap like Gossip Girl.

• Where to watch: You can stream ‘Industry’ on HBO Max.
