I started watching your channel for the Succession reviews and now watch for Industry. Love your summaries and insights on the details in each episode.
Great recap. 1) Thank you for explanation of Mitsubishi because I was aware it was a bank as well but I didn’t think others did. 2). Thanks for explaining the distance between Wales and London because I didn’t think to google it. 😂. You are spot on for Yas. She’s just a terrible person and doesn’t deserve Rob. Rob has definitely grown the most over the 3 seasons while almost everyone else has plummeted back to either where they were before and or worse. Harper has grown a little which is shown when she was helping Yas on the boat and how she tried to step in the way of Petra using Yas but she still has a looonnng way to go. 😂 Eric is just in Hell. 🤣😂😂. It’s funny how he told Harper all the things about herself in episode 6 but was really just looking at himself in the mirror. When looking at the preview for next episode, I wouldn’t put it past for Otto to bring all of them back to his place ( Harper, Rob and Yas) as a way to figure out how to short Pierpoint. Wouldn’t be surprised if Eric isn’t happy with the results of Ali helping Pierpoint out. 😉 Again, love your recap of this episode. Will be back Monday for next episode.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think Rob is the best/most interesting character. He's had an incredible character arc over the course of this show, and the personal shit he's dealt with regarding Nicole, Yasmine, Clement ... he's been through a lot. I definitely didn't know Mitsubishi was a bank. lol BUT, when I heard Mitsubishi was a buyer, I was motivated to look it up - just like I was about the distance from London to Cardiff. And it just enhances the show to have a better understanding of that sort of stuff. You just come to really appreciate the effort being put in.
Woah, there are a few shows that I've looked forward to seeing each week. Industry is definitely one of those shows. Ken Leung as Eric has played the character perfectly. He deserves some accolades for this season.
it's weird that the decisive meeting to determine Pierpoint's fate (or failure), takes place in the London branch instead of the New York headquarter. And why isn't New York celebrating 150 years of Pierpoint - or is it just the London location that is in existence for 150 years? This would explain why all C-level executives are gathered in London, whereas usually, in a moment of crisis, the leadership locks themselves into the headquarters main conference room...
I thought that was weird too. Especially when they said Pierpoint was an American based company or something like that. I was like "Oh right, I forgot about the NY location."
Oh and the party seemed to be celebrating Pierpoint's 150th, not the London location's 150th. So yeah, you're right. Kinda weird to celebrate that at an off-shoot location. lol
Dude, Eric's move was brutal! Betraying someone who trusted him with his illness is a new level of low. This show has lots of horrible (and entertaining) people. Also, I hope the audience ratings are enough to get a 4th season.
This was an episode where I really got lost on the financial piece. The only thing I understood for sure in that boardroom was that Eric screwed Adler.
I cannot convey how much my opinion "Industry" has changed since season 1. What brilliant writing, especially with small details paying off later as big plot developments. I'm also impressed with the acting, particularly Ken Leung's. It's going to make the No. 2 spot on my best-of this for 2024, second only to "Shogun" (which may be one of my favorite shows ever). Also, One Mike, can I just say that you are at your VERY BEST when you're analyzing this show?
Thank you for the compliment! I agree. lol I try to stay humble, and when it comes to this RUclips shit, I don't have a choice but to be humble because no one watches my videos. lol But I'm VERY proud of my Industry and Succession videos. VERY proud. Like I'll often wrap up recording an Industry video and say to myself "That was a really good one!," which I almost never do. The better the show is, the more it motivates me. I enjoyed S1 of Industry, but it was mostly off vibes to me. It was a fun watch. S2 was a significant step up, and this one is still another step up (but not a large one since S2 was really good as well).
Interesting. This season has started to feel like they were gonna end the whole thing, but now that it's got a 4th season, I wonder if they'll do something like put Maxim, Yas, and Rob in California with Gus.
Not only didn't Eric like the Mitsubishi-deal, he also took the change to get his personal revenge - it was Adler who humiliated Eric in season 2 by promoting him to a meaningless position in a lonely corner-office in order to get him off the trading-floor where the action takes place...
I just started binging this show about 2 weeks ago and it’s been quite a ride! After watching this episode I can say that just about every character on this show is f”d up😊 Besides Robert and my girl Sweetpea I’m weary of just about everyone else. Love this show. Thanks for the reviews and putting the show on my radar.
They're all objectively horrible people - to a pathological degree. Harper is legit a sociopath, Eric and Yas are narcissists, and everybody else is just greeeeeedy (to quote Pink Floyd).
@@OneMike At least with Yasmine we kinda know why she's a garbage person but it's still a mystery to me why Harper is...the whole deal with her brother, why she's in London in the first place, the ex-boyfriend she used to obsess over? IDK but I can't wait to see what boiling pot she jumps out of at the end of this season!
Erics introduction of Ali at the ending was amazing
Yeah buddy! We knew he was gonna important at some point too.
From the time they were asking about how and why Ali was on Eric's desk, by Episode 6 I knew he was gonna be the money to save Pierpoint's a$$.
I started watching your channel for the Succession reviews and now watch for Industry. Love your summaries and insights on the details in each episode.
Thank you! You're the kinda subscriber I'm aiming to have!

This episode was one of my favorites from this season if not the whole series.
It’s getting difficult to choose one at this point!
@OneMike new subscriber here, keep doin' ya thing. Peace from NYC.
Woah, there are a few shows that I've looked forward to seeing each week. Industry is definitely one of those shows. Ken Leung as Eric has played the character perfectly. He deserves some accolades for this season.
Agreed!

It's already been renewed for a 4th season! And I'm very glad I could be the person to tell you that. lol
Otto looks like one of those creepy James Bond’s villain from the 70s
Hell yeah he does!
This was an episode where I really got lost on the financial piece. The only thing I understood for sure in that boardroom was that Eric screwed Adler.
Well I hope I was of some help!
Absolutely! Thank you!

I feel like Otto 100% stopped the Barclays play...
Me too.
Best accurate review I've seen. Spot on about Yas.
Wow, thanks!
Maxim is in Big Sur with is also adjacent to Silcon Valley.

Love this show. Thanks for the reviews and putting the show on my radar.
No doubt! Glad I could put you on it because this is high level stuff.
Masterful 👍🏽👍🏽
ME?!!? Thank you!!! lol
Harper is still the most unlikable character.
They're all objectively horrible people - to a pathological degree. Harper is legit a sociopath, Eric and Yas are narcissists, and everybody else is just greeeeeedy (to quote Pink Floyd).
I dislike Yas the most (obviously, lol), but I do agree that Harper is technically the most unlikable.
@@OneMike At least with Yasmine we kinda know why she's a garbage person but it's still a mystery to me why Harper is...the whole deal with her brother, why she's in London in the first place, the ex-boyfriend she used to obsess over?
