This show is very intriguing and frustrating at the same time. It's a good story and with a talented cast but my struggle is with the characters. There is absolutely nothing to like about these characters. Even the "bad" guy in a film can exhibit some human emotions that the audience can identify with but the characters in Industry have no redeeming qualities. They're arrogant, rude, self centered, morally depraved people.
The most annoying character is Harper. There's nothing sympathetic about her. She is so ill mannered, manipulative, expresses poor judgement, and a pathological liar. She always looks like a deer in the headlights. She's a deeply sad and depressing character. Yet I'm still watching and holding out hope that someone in the show will emerge as decent person or at least redeemable.

I don't even know where to start with this this dumpster fire of a TV series. The story/plot line was preposterous and absurd. It felt like a low budget Canadian thriller. The acting was terrible. Not even Hong Chau was good in this. She came across like a zombie with a bad wig in an irritating monotone voice.
The main actor did his very best with the terrible lines he was given. The lead actress who played the "niece" is a bad actress. I'm simply baffled at how bad shows like this get green lit. The writing is bad, acting is bad, weak storyline, and mediocre directing. Netflix is 90% terrible programming and this certainly illustrates that point.

I don't agree with the reviews that were discontent over the series departing from the original source material. I do not mind if a film strays from an original story as long as it's well written and directed. Sadly this series not only changed the story but replaced it with something much worse.
The dialogue was dull and boring, the story uninspired and convoluted, and the pace was painfully slow. It's a mystery as to how these shows get green lit. I really like the Starz network's historical dramas but this one was a major disappointment. I suppose the actors did the best they could with terrible dialogue but not even good actors could save this.
