Tbh I had to go to YouTube afterwards and find an Episode explainer

Definitely had to google what a gate provision was

 

[Gasometer]

Oh boy I think that could be a divisive episode (2)

For me it was epic

 

[crafty_bernardo]

If Damian Chazelles Babylon was like coca cola. This episode was like LSD. What a roller coaster.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

I swear if Harper betrays Sweatpea there's no redemption arc for her.

 

[joey_jo_jo]

I dont know if its hilarious or disturbing that the show's creators are big Mad Men fans and then go and cast Sally Draper to do THAT

 

[Gasometer]

The audio is average on this production

Between thick accents, mumbling and whispering it becomes a challenge as to what is going on

Best episode of the season tonight. That final scene had me on edge the whole way through, great needledrops though.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Wow the back and forth suspense whether that guy was in fact sent to kill them off was great. Poor Rishi just keeps taking hits after hit.

Half way through the episode I was thinking I miss Harper and Eric. There's too much focus on Yasmin this season. That she keeps winning, and then securing a new role. Then Hayley dropping the mic was awesome. Yasmin is back to losing again.

I just watched episodes 3 and 4.

It's such a brutal, bleak, almost overwhelming show at times. Utterly captivating though.

The Rishi arc is so tragic.

Yasmin keeps finding ways to bring on new sources of unhappiness or inadequacy.

Henry is a pathetic mess and yet somehow you want him to do well, all the while knowing he could unravel at any moment.

Harper is a psychopath playing out all of her neuroses in power dynamics and the need to be proven right. Eric always seems frightened (yet compelled) to be in her presence.

Liking the season so far. The impending sense of doom and chaos is unmatched.

I was like I remember when Industry was just about day trading but then there have been minor characters with dark plots esp in season 1. Just this season it’s more of it

Yeah, there have been a few horrifying deaths and close calls sprinkled throughout and the whole show is a mental health crisis. All of the sex powerplay stuff gives it a sinister orgy vibe and then of course there's the boozy **** ups and crazy drug trips. Everyone is deep in a scandal or on the verge of one. Very healthy, everything is fine!

Sweatpea is goat

 

[Gasometer]

Just finished Ep 4

Vienna was the first song I played as a teenager in 1981 on my newly purchased tape deck. Epic song.

Hayley in the elevator lol the look on Y face

That whole Rishi unraveling…I thought that was it…

Great episode

It’s been a great season so far

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Grim Reaper is really going after every character

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Last 3 eps have been straight from the top shelf.
They havent let up on the tense foreboding vibe all season

 

[Mr Meow]

I had a bad feeling about Eric's interactions with young girls. You just knew with a show like this it was going to end up exploited.

For a ****ed up, broken, sociopathic mess I've grown to like him. It was emotional when he confessed to feeling pride at someone other than himself. Even if it's messed up at what exactly it takes to make him "proud"! But that's show(finance)biz, baby.

Kinda fascinating how unsympathetic they've been. Could argue that both Rishi and Eric could've finished at the end of season 3, but they've been brought back to meet fates crueller than before.

Need another shoe to drop with Whitney for me to get over some of the stuff I'm slightly bumping against. Things have moved pretty fast with him and Tender - almost need this storyline/him to continue after this season. Introducing Russian involvement helps in that regard, rather than this just being the reckless dealings of a psychopath.

Pouring one out for Ken Leung. Someone who has been around for a while, almost always in supporting roles - first remember him from Lost. Love that he's gotten to shimmer in Industry.

Apparently the Tender stuff is heavily based a real life german company called Wirecard that had an Austrian COO that was accused of being in cahoots with russians

Reading a bit of hype about this show online and tempted to check it out.

For those who have also seen Billions , is it similar to that?

 

[augie]

Has been an incredible season. I was a sort of fan of season 1 and 2, thought it stepped up a bit in 3, but this one has taken it to the top shelf level. So many epic moments.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

It definitely took a few episodes (whilst still being great) to get used to the transition of the show

Whitney in contention for one of the my favourite protagonists in TV in the last decade. Just a menace. Hopefully that's not the end

Yasmin annoying but has become a great character to follow especially her transformation into this empty shell

 

[joey_jo_jo]

I didnt pick it up on first watch but

Spoiler

the guy who took whitney from the hotel room down to meet Ferdinand in the car was the guy who went up to rishi's apartment and kept turning up the volume of the music before Dyker died, so it was a hit job!

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Didn’t pick up it was the same person in the van but yep he gave them a dodgy ball

 

[Gasometer]

I just blitzed the last 3 episodes in 24 hours and wow what a head spin

That final scene from Ep 7 today was pretty much an accurate portrayal of where the pair of them are at

How Henry didn’t smack Whitney once on the face I don’t know

The finance stuff mostly goes over my head which frustrates me no end

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Phwoa that Henry and Whitney scene. Didn’t know the actor and character had that in them

Also Yasmin usually there’s time skips to show how progressively evil they become. But she just wakes up and levels up. Incredible convey of acting and emotion from the eyes and hands
