Co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay — both former investment bankers — push back on the idea that “Industry” is simply about monsters in suits.
“The reductive view of the show is that all of the characters are sort of sociopaths,” Kay told Arab News. “I think that’s not entirely true. A certain kind of transactional relationship is bred into these people; some arrive with it fully formed, some of them don’t have it come naturally to them, and then are put into that situation, and then they see the human cost of it.”
Season four, he said, is “slightly darker,” following the “capitalist OS” as it bleeds into politics and media, but it also makes space for tenderness.
