Industry (2020– )
3/10
Absolutely zero payoff
29 November 2020
I struggled through the first episode and thought that it might get a bit better once I overlooked the constant dance music background. I was hoping for a UK Billions or something similar but mostly what I got was soft porn in every episode with a sprinkling of business talk, and lots of drugs and partying and minor drama filling up for the remaining 40 minutes a show.

The characters never seem to do any actual work for more than a few minutes and then there's a speech or a drug scene. For the most part I continued to watch in order to see how it ended. This is a perfect show for millennials as there are zero consequences for a character's mistakes and the grads acts as elites without having paid their dues in a new sector.

The second half of the season things get murky and the sexually is a constant undertone to every scene. This is not intelligent writing. It's scatterbrained and the scenes don't flow together well at all. A lot of times a scene ends and the audience is wondering what just happened. The final episode was a complete let down and was just a mish mash of scenes thrown together such an order to tell 10 characters stories in the remaining 15 minutes.

I did like some of the cinematic scenes and camera work and at times the music did add to the show, which adds to 3 stars. With better dialogue and scene and plot development this could have been really good. After watching I felt like I was mislead or lied to and if I paid for this show I would have asked for a refund due to the product not being as advertised.
