Industry, HBO’s new prestige Monday-night drama, is a show you can finally watch with all your finance friends, as you attempt to understand what the heck they actually do all day, and, in the process, gain absolutely zero insight into what they heck they actually do all day. (Just admit you’re working on PowerPoints, Jeremy. Saying “Decks” doesn’t change what they are.)
The series follows a group of entry-level London finance traders who spend the daylight trading vague financial securities and the nighttime trading fluids. It’s essentially Suits meets Euphoria—in that there’s a lot of ladder climbing, entry-level hazing, drugs… and nudity.
There’s also a lot finance. Like, so much finance. So much that for anyone not involved in actual trading, a lot of dialogue will sound like gibberish. While this vernacular diarrhea might seem unpalatable, it actually bolsters the series’ immersion; there’s “respecting the audience” and then there’s Industry—where “ask for the level of 1-year 1-year Euro-swap in 500-KDB01” will be spoken dramatically and then never ever explained.
It also increases the series’ chaotic levels by Uncut Gems levels. So while real-life trading might not involve as many dramatic phone calls or life-or-death PowerPoint deck decisions, the series, nonetheless, perfectly captures the frenetic energy of 20-something ambition.
Helping it accomplish this chaos is a soundtrack selected from several independent and electronic British artists.
So if you’re looking for a playlist to blast as you stay up all night working on PowerPoint slides (we mean, your deck) and attempting to feel important, we got you covered. Here’s every song from the series so far, including “Blue Spring” by Nathan Micay (we know you’re looking for that one).
