Industry - Kritiken

Far more addictive than anything about equity rates has a right to be.

...as stressful as drinking 10 double espressos in a row then having to speak in public, naked, with no time to prepare.

...its greatest strength is bringing all of its elements together in a moreish package where relationships... are constantly in flux and the tension is ever-rising.

This is unflinching, merciless five-star television.

Moments of humanity glimmer on the show’s fetid surface like stars in a dirty street puddle.

...a remarkable reboot that will blind you with its brilliance.

No one is remotely likeable here – but then that works for a story which is basically cage-fighting in suits.

The premise of Industry has promise and an impressively diverse cast...

...downright electrifying at times.

TV’s wildest drama is more thrilling than ever.

...this is a show that delights in the unexpected.

Set in the high stakes, high-risk world of London international investment banking, the propulsive “Industry” is HBO’s best-kept secret and the waiting-in-the-wings heir to “Succession.”

...sees this one-time precinct show evolve into a full-blown political epic

It’s as if Kay and Downs have penned a pre-emptive post-mortem for a decade defined by the impunity given to fascists, fraudsters, and financiers.
