Sesh

They toned down the sex a little, pushed up the various types of drug taking but this was also the best episode so far.

It was all because of Harper. She goes out to the edge here. A dangerous combination of recklessness, daring and greed.

Harper has been found out that she has made a loss by lying about the currency of the transaction regarding a sale she made.

It stands at £50,000 for Pierpoint. However she has an idea to reduce those losses, she needs time and someone to conveniently turn a blind eye to what she is doing. Only for the losses to treble. Leaving Harper in a desperate position.

I got caught up with it. At one point it looked that Harper might break even. This is the kind of high stakes thrilling 'Wall Street' scenario I was looking for in Industry. Not who wants to bonk who or upset that someone they bonked is now ignoring them.

If the only currency a salesman ever has is his honesty, then I must say the level of anxiety reached in this episode is peak. Brutal even. Gus coming out is an interesting parallel to Robert telling "the least convincing story" Yaz has ever heard in parallel with his boss telling all these stories of all these weddings he's been to with like Tony Blair. The truth will set you free. Lady Bird which I just watched showed me this, though it's hard because in these Industries that is often stepped on. A shame. Information is currency. And to crawl out it takes not getting stepped on. A tightrope indeed. But good friends can change that.
