Anyone watching "Industry" on HBO?

- Start date
I think Harper partners with Jesse again in season 5. Maybe the conflict is the person she's becoming struggling with the person she was?

Haha of course they don't, all through the season I was thinking Henry is a member of the establishment with very powerful connections, no way was he ever going to be properly punished. He finally realized it when Whitney tried to give him that passport. I'm a lord you're nothing, a peasant.
And that scene with his uncles tied that off nicely.
Though it was dark as hell his uncle warning him to drop the suggestion of mentioning Russia being involved in this along with the female MP getting warned by the PM's guy to drop that line of enquiry nobody wanted no parts of that as they all do it in some way.
A fine season of prestige television.
Henry finally stood up for himself after having his cheeks taken, embarrassed in front of the world, and given a criminal record
He cooked Whitney on the plane, but at the end of the day he is still a loser
Yas has been one of the most morally inept characters on TV since the show started. She is going to depths she will not be able to return from because of her need to feel important. She’s a survivor with no compass.
Black people are the most morally grounded people on the planet, so it was never a doubt Harper would do the right thing

Actually, I saw that differently.
Her dad and his crew were definitely a problem, but I think Yas brought the one person she could trust who wouldn’t run and tell the world her dad was a perve, AND the one person who was actually strong enough to tell those men to fukk off while she enjoyed sailing on a yacht. When Harper emerged, there was a clear distinction between her and the other girls on the boat, just in how she carried herself.
Harper could actually protect Yas.
I know exactly what it’s like to be the girl that dudes thought they might try, but soon realized I wasn’t with the fukk shyt and would probably turn out to be a problem LOL
They probably left Yas alone because Harper wasn’t with the mess. Any other girl might’ve freaked out or tried to sue/extort them later.
And Yas definitely sat her by the Nazis, but I don’t think she literally did it to screw Harper.
Everyone there basically understood that he was the candidate running to restore “Whiteness”, like Trump/MAGA. Harper was probably the only one who didn’t.
I think her dumbass just wanted to include the only fukking friend she had and didn’t think twice about the sentiments of the mother and son or the Hitler painting hanging on the wall during her stay. She literally couldn’t pick up wtf they were on until she realized who the “artist” was. Lmao
Yas is a complete ditz who only sees what is exactly in her line of sight.
That’s why she keeps getting into these situations. She doesn’t think, AT ALL. She goes where ppl lead her.
She took on a new “client”, or is trying to make connections, whatever, and needed to gather a group of wealthy individuals to donate to his campaign. That’s as far as her mind goes.
Even having a bunch of random women come to the hotel AFTER dinner to hobnop with older men in Harper’s presence shows how much of an idiot she is.
She could’ve easily moved them to another suite, or left the party with Harper, etc. But no, she had them link up IN HER DAMN SUITE after dinner where Harper could see it all go down.
Yas is literally an idiot.
Anyone else would’ve hidden this operation and could’ve done so with ease, but not her.
Great alternative insight. You’ve maxed out of rep in this thread from me lolActually, I saw that differently.

Watching white women online try their best to reconcile their adoration for Yas and hatred for Harper all this time is probably this shows best stroke of brilliance.
If there is some way to bring a AI dilemma to Harper's new fund, that could be the test to see if she's still a monster.
Season 3 Finale seemed like a series finale too (much more than the season 4 finale). They were able to make season 4 a masterclass. I'm confident they can make Season 5 good as well too. This is one of the best shows on tv. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt
Gracias.
Having tangoed with a few severely damaged personalities and being in White spaces, I’ve had to assess ppl and situations thoroughly.
Basically like Harper and Eric, lmao

That’s why this show is so great and why racist white ppl can’t fully understand or appreciate it, but also can’t look away. They’re looking at (Black) excellence operating and outsmarting what represents them.
Ultimately, the show is coming from the perspective of super smart POC operating in elite white spaces. They want to sympathize with Yas, but she’s juxtaposed with a super smart Black woman who shows how absolutely stupid and vapid she is.
And, no matter how bad they think Harper is, Yas is CLEARLY 100x worse.
^^^ somebody helped me out here lol
Spent time trying to figure this out, maybe he thought Henry needed to put the fear of God in him to sort him out. Beginning of the season dude was drinking again, pointing a rifle at his uncle, Yas tells him he's shooting up, fukking around, he probably realized he could only get him under control again if he honestly felt like he was going to lose everything.
