The show, which follows young investment bankers, has evolved into a darker and more debauched drama, while still maintaining its pitch-perfect dialogue. The new season introduces big-name actors such as Kiernan Shipka, Max Minghella, Kal Penn, and Charlie Heaton, who seamlessly integrate with the existing cast, including Myha&#8217;la, Marisa Abela, and Kit Harington.<\/p>\n<p>The season revolves around a payment provider, Tender, on the verge of becoming a bank, and its attempts to cut ties with an OnlyFans-esque platform, Siren, as a new online safety bill is proposed in the UK. The show smartly rips from the headlines, tackling themes such as financial journalism, online safety, and the consequences of power-hungry individuals. The characters are more complex and sophisticated than ever, with Harper, played by Myha&#8217;la, continuing to convey depth and emotion through her subtle expressions.<\/p>\n<p>The show&#8217;s writers and directors, Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, are praised for their financial expertise and their ability to observe and critique race, class, desire, and sexuality. They are unafraid to tackle difficult topics and say the unsayable, resulting in a show that is both darkly humorous and realistic. The season also features a stark realness, with characters dealing with the hardships of married life, rebuilding careers, and facing death.<\/p>\n<p>Industry retains its stylish core, with a focus on the tortured psyches of its leads, making it more disquieting and relatable than ever. The show&#8217;s use of an 80s-inspired soundtrack is not accidental, as it highlights the societal rot that has been present for a long time. The show airs on BBC One on January 12, HBO on January 11, and Binge in Australia. Overall, Industry&#8217;s fourth season is a must-watch, offering a thrilling and thought-provoking drama that is sure to resonate with audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HBO\/BBC series Industry has finally hit its stride in its fourth season, offering top-tier television that is sure to make end-of-year lists.
