‘Industry’ (Season 2)
When the first season of Industry dropped in November of 2020, we were still in the thick of that first wave of COVID-19 insanity and months away from our first vaccine doses. Watching a bunch of young, attractive, monied professionals dance and drink and screw their way up the corporate ladder gave us a special, vicarious rush since we were all cooped up in our houses, a buzz that we weren’t entirely sure would hold over when Season 2 dropped earlier this month. As it turns out, our fears were entirely unfounded, as Mickey Down and Konrad Kay’s series came back immediately firing on all cylinders, with the junior members of the fictional, London-based investment bank Pierpoint & Co. still acting just as frenzied as ever as they try to make their way in the world today.
