‘Industry’ Bosses on That Game-Changing Season 3 Finale: ‘This Was Us Putting a Gun to Our Heads’


'Industry' creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay discuss the HBO drama's Season 3 finale.

After overexposing itself in so-called ethical investing, the bank has sprinted in the other direction, selling itself to a shell company for a Middle Eastern sovereign wealth fund with a crucial assist from recently elevated partner Eric Tao (Ken Leung).

Having once organized her life around escaping her dysfunctional family, going so far as to torpedo a deal last season that hinged on relocating to her home state of New York, Harper is starting an all-shorts fund — as in, betting on businesses to fail — based in the Big Apple and backed by rapacious financier Otto Mostyn (Roger Barclay).
