HBO’s Industry–a show that has often been called the Gen Z version of Succession–is in its third season and it just may be the series’ best.
The show has always examined its characters’ flaws, but this season feels like it’s taking a step up from even Season 2, which ended with the main character Harper (Myha’la) being fired. In Season 3, the characters continue to make deplorable choices, some so severe it’s a question of whether or not they’ll be able to recover from them by the season’s end.
All of these characters have become the most capricious versions of themselves, subsequently forcing them to unravel in ways we haven’t seen before. While the series has earned comparisons to the finance-focused shows that came before it, it’s never been clearer that Industry is the best show of its kind. Season 3 is experimenting in ways that feel almost unprecedented, boldly breaking down barriers for what narrative television can be. “White Mischief,” which aired this past Sunday, is the latest example of why Industry is so addictive.
