Finished up Industry S2 last night, thought it was better than S1. I like the show, but haven't quite caught the euphoric sense of praise that some critics seem to have for it. I will say it does take some surprising turns and overall has good performances

It is a foreign show (UK show) based on an American platform. A lot of American viewers have an aversion to foreign shows. If it wasn't for the forum, I would not really be into Gomorrah or Industry. The forum has put me on to a lot of foreign gems

This may be one of the best shows I have ever seen. Totally captivating, immersive, so fukking sharp and aware. Just off first two seasons, like Gomorrah, it's in my top of all time. This is brilliance post modern, post Sopranos and Mad Men.

This article made me think about the show and how well it showcases some of these toxic environments people work in. So, so sad.

I bought a shirt from HBO so I can wear it and try to meet a fan of the show. lol. Hopefully attractive.
Tried to put half a dozen women (and probably a half dozen men too) I know on, and no one has ran with it, as condescending as it sounds, it's probably too sharp for US audiences.
It def. traffics in TV tropes, and well worn moves, montages, but there's something like less spoon feeding an audience in a lot of foreign TV. It reflects British cultural values more than US, and we all have a bias, sometimes we are unaware of.
An American show like this, would likely be so much softer around the edges, and just more broadly played. We like nice and reassuring themes. I read something great once about the overall theme of American conversations, casually is REASSURANCE, once I read that, I saw so much of that in interactions.
