Industry review: Does season 3 live up to the hype?

As a seasoned gamer of the television world, I must say that the third season of Industry has taken my breath away and left me utterly captivated. With its grandeur yacht setting, the budget seems to have expanded beyond the confines of the trading floor from seasons past. And who could forget the appearance of none other than Jon Snow himself, Kit Harington, gracing our screens as Henry Muck?

From the outset, it appears that this season of Industry could deviate slightly from the previous two. To start with, we find ourselves aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean, suggesting an increase in budget beyond the trading-floor limitations experienced during the first season.

Later on, Jon Snow from Game of Thrones makes an appearance, portraying a CEO in the green tech sector named Henry Muck who seems to have been given his position based on his surname.

This season, there have been multiple deaths we won’t reveal. They come with a sense of spiritual loss. After David Jonsson was sent into space to fight off hostile aliens, Gus exits with a casual remark. Soon after, more characters from Pierpoint meet their end in quick succession.

In this series, some elements remain consistent. From the start, it includes explicit sexual content featuring Yasmin’s unsavory father and a considerably younger female staff member who is heavily pregnant – though certain scenes have been omitted during the HBO broadcast to uphold the decorum of our national broadcaster.

This show contains both engaging dialogue and a lot of financial terminology. The technical terms become even harder to understand as we progress through the seasons, because although we’ve reached several episodes, we’re still unsure about what simple words like “yard”, “cable”, and “long” truly denote.

This one is worth getting to grips with: “ESG”, which means Environmental, Social and Governance. Huh? Ethical investing. Pierpoint’s got into making “socially responsible” investments, less out of moral goodness and more because that’s where the money is, for now.

There, step in Jon Harington along with his muscular, pampered son Henry, who leads the company aimed at rectifying global issues.

Marisa Abela’s character Yasmin assumes most responsibilities this season due to being pursued by Mr. Muck, aggressive paparazzi, and her father’s debtors after he disappears. Meanwhile, Myha’la’s character Harper, known for her antisocial behavior, is relegated to performing minor tasks for a powerful female investor following her defeat at the hands of Eric (Ken Leung). Eric, on the other hand, is experiencing a prolonged midlife crisis and experimenting with hard drugs again since 9/11, as he puts it.

In simpler terms, the character Rob (Harry Lawtey), throughout the series, is continuing to wage a struggle for his inner self in the background. The role of Rishi (Sagar Radia), known for his blunt language, gains more importance this season as he receives an increased number of call-sheets. This includes a solo episode reminiscent of the movie “Uncut Gems.

Each episode, packed full of intricate plot points, is skillfully performed by an impressive ensemble cast. The co-creators, Konrad Kay and Mickey Down, who left the investment banking industry to expose its flaws on television, build up tension so effectively that many scenes feel like season finales playing out in real time.

The BBC program, once thought to resemble a partnership between Euphoria and Goldman Sachs, is now striving to validate its emerging comparisons with Succession.

The yacht is present. Following this, there’s an away day at Pierpoint heading to Switzerland. Reflections of actual events can be found – particularly Liz Truss’s troubled Conservative budget – and a committee is also included, which HBO’s social media accounts intentionally likened to Cousin Greg’s comical congressional testimony when the episode was broadcasted in America.

Additionally, there’s a lot more political strategizing linked with the enigmatic group associated with Henry Muck, where Kit Harington excels, skillfully portraying his character’s understated aristocratic demeanor and utilizing his witty, pseudo-modest lines, along with his therapy-influenced dialogue.

Nevertheless, it’s the privileged, toxic elite that fails to live up to the standard of prestige when compared. Scenes reminiscent of private clubs filled with outdated elites sipping port and cigars alternate with them controlling the nation’s fate and deriding Jeffrey Epstein’s island for being ostentatiously nouveau riche.

This leads to an ayahuasca-induced dream sequence we would have been no worse without.

Instead of focusing on the ordinary wickedness present in moments from “Succession” and replacing it with overtly evil laughter, “Industry” often delves into more blatantly malicious acts. However, when it steers clear of excessively emphasizing the born-to-rule social critique, the character development in “Industry” remains as impressive as ever.

This top-notch television series shows no signs of slowing down. The fact that both BBC and HBO have already commissioned a fourth season, even before it airs in the UK, is a clear indication of their faith in its quality as influential players in the TV industry.

Industry returns to BBC One and iPlayer on October 1.
