The cast is appealing -- Herrold and Leung, in particular, pull off the improbable trick of seeming like underdogs even as they hurl around multimillion-dollar deals -- and pilot director Lena Dunham establishes a slick visual template.October 15, 2020
Industry leans heavily on strong performances and gripping narratives to draw the audience into its dark, unpleasant world, yet it lacks the audacity and dark humor of its predecessors in making such bleakness worthwhile.November 02, 2020
It's possible to invest in the zipless hijinks of Industry because even if you don't care about the specifics of what anybody is doing... you believe the characters care.November 09, 2020
The show seems to think its naughtiness and bad behavior have an edge, like in "Skins," but really "Industry" is more like "The Bold Type" with male nudity.November 03, 2020
The kind of thrillingly fresh series that only comes along once every few years.November 09, 2020
There are moments of genuine insight... They're too far and few between the bacchanalian scenes and familiar storytelling beats about succeeding at all cost, which sets Industry squarely in mid-cap territory.November 06, 2020
Ms. Dunham's introductory episode is electric. Much of that energy is sustained and, with luck, will be through what will undoubtedly be subsequent seasons of the show.November 09, 2020
Suppressing character development to build up toward big reveals is a tried-and-true storytelling technique, but it's hard to combine that with dense workplace drama and very little voice.November 09, 2020
While Industry doesn't possess the artillery of many high-profile premium dramas, it shines primarily based on sharp execution. In that sense, like its hungry characters, it's the sort of overachiever that appears to have a bright future.November 09, 2020
Based on the first four episodes that HBO made available for review (there are eight in all), the show's entanglements and provocations are what manage to pull a viewer in.November 09, 2020
Most perceptive of all is how the show depicts the dynamic within this very specific 21st-century milieu...November 09, 2020
it's definitely worth toughing out the endless lines of coke to see what happens next, but even in a typical year [Myha'la Herrold] would earn Industry the benefit of the doubt.
