HBO/BBC's Industry Season Four Delivers the Goods as Top-Tier Television.
Industry, the drama series about young investment bankers, never became an overnight sensation. The show took time to warm up, with standout episodes that helped it gain traction. Thankfully, season four is a marked improvement, firmly establishing itself as truly top-tier television.
The series still revolves around its core premise – the lives of ambitious investment bankers navigating love, career and power struggles in the corporate world. However, season four takes this drama to darker heights while maintaining pitch-perfect dialogue that has become a hallmark of the show.
Newcomers Kiernan Shipka, Max Minghella, Kal Penn, and Charlie Heaton join existing leads Myha'la, Marisa Abela, Kit Harington, and others in creating a twisted yet sophisticated narrative. Notably, Toheeb Jimoh shines as Kwabena, providing an excellent cameo that highlights the show's ability to seamlessly integrate new talent.
The latest season centers around Tender, a payment provider on the verge of becoming a bank, amidst growing tensions over Siren – an OnlyFans-like platform. This sets the stage for a gripping game of cat and mouse, where financial journalist James (Heaton) stumbles upon potential scandals, leaving him perilously close to uncovering high-profile secrets.
Standout performances from Harper (Myha'la), Eric (Ken Leung), Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Henry (Kit Harington), and Rishi (Sagar Radia) demonstrate that the show remains centred on its core cast while expanding their characters. Industry skillfully examines societal issues, shedding light on long-standing problems without shying away from uncomfortable truths.
The addition of 80s music to the soundtrack highlights a deliberate attempt by the show to delve deeper into societal rot and explore the darker corners of human nature. This approach has resulted in a narrative that is more disquieting yet relatable than ever, cementing Industry's status as top-tier television.

i was getting so sick of watching the same old antics from myha'la and marisa abela but this new cast brings a fresh energy to the show - kiernan shipka is giving me LIFE as harper, btw 
what's up with all the 80s music tho? it's like they're trying to transport us back to the dark ages or something 
anyway, can't wait to dive into this new season and see how it all plays out 
. The cast just keeps changing and I mean, who are these new faces? Kiernan Shipka, Max Minghella, Kal Penn? They're trying to pass off a bunch of rich kids as talented actors 
. And what's with the plot twists? It's like they're just throwing random scandals at us to keep us hooked. I don't trust it one bit...it's all just sensationalism 
. And don't even get me started on the OnlyFans-like platform...just another way for them to glorify the dark underbelly of society 
. The soundtrack is cool, I guess, but it's just 80s nostalgia...not exactly groundbreaking 
and Toheeb Jimoh's cameo was mind-blowing 
. They really nailed the darker tone this time around and it feels so authentic. I love how they're tackling real issues like power struggles, corruption, and social inequality without being preachy 
. And can we talk about that soundtrack? The 80s vibes are everything 
. My fave episodes so far have been the ones with James uncovering scandals and Harper's character growth is everything 
. This show never fails to keep me on the edge of my seat! 
, I loved how they didn't forget about the existing cast either. The payment provider drama with Siren sounds super intense, can't wait to see James digging into those secrets 
. It's so great that they're tackling real issues without shying away from the hard stuff, it makes for super compelling TV 
. Toheeb Jimoh's cameo was fire 
! The way they tackle societal issues is so on point - uncomfortable truths make for compelling TV 
. Industry's solidified its spot as top-tier television, no question 
. And can we talk about how well they're handling thematically heavy stuff? Like, tackling societal issues without shying away from the uncomfortable truths? That's some top-notch writing right there 
.
. The show takes this dark, twisted world of investment banking and amps up the stakes even more. I mean, Toheeb Jimoh shining in that cameo role? Iconic. And those newbies Kiernan Shipka and Max Minghella? Perfect additions to the cast. My favorite thing about this season is how it still has that pitch-perfect dialogue going on while taking the drama to some seriously dark places. It's like they're holding up a mirror to our society, showing us all these uncomfortable truths we'd rather not face 
my fave part was how they wove in that 80s music into the soundtrack - it's like they're taking us on a journey through all the worst parts of human nature 
but honestly season 4 is fire 
and Toheeb Jimoh's cameo is EVERYTHING 
it's like they took a page from the '90s to really tap into that darker vibe. And can we talk about how Harper & Eric bring the heat? 
Ken Leung slaying as always too... but what I love is how they keep the core cast alive and kicking while still expanding their characters. It's like they're saying "we know you guys are iconic, but let's shake things up" 
. And that soundtrack? 80s music takes the narrative to a whole new level, it's like they're really digging into the societal rot 
.
.
. I'm loving how Toheeb Jimoh slayed his cameo - that kid's got talent 
.
. and the way they're tackling thematically heavy stuff like onlyfans and financial journalism is really on point 
Kiernan Shipka is giving me major boss vibes 
. The way the show explores societal issues without shying away from uncomfortable truths is so real talk

kiernan shipka is a standout for me, her character's storyline was super compelling 
80s music added an extra layer to the drama, it felt like they were tapping into something real 
all in all, season 4 solidified industry as one of the top shows out there 
The dialogue is still great, don't get me wrong, but I feel like the new characters are kinda brought in just to shake things up. Like, Kiernan Shipka's character seems super out of place 
And I'm not sure how much more "twisted" we need the show to be... it's already pretty intense 
But at the same time... I mean, Toheeb Jimoh's cameo was
