This time, the drama steps beyond the fluorescent glow of Pierpoint's trading floor and into a broader, more unsettling social landscape.

This time, Industry unfolds as a sharp, uncomfortable on-the-nose commentary of modern politics, media, technocrats and the seemingly-immovable aristocracy of British society. It's still sweaty-palm television, but with an even more sinister edge.
