The show is very well set, they clearly hired former finance professionals for advisory on the set, all details are well taken care of. The shows displays several kind of personalities and situations, and a lot of office politics that you can encounter at an Investment Bank in London. 90% of the people work on S&T, so don’t expect anything M&A/coverage related.
On the other side, in order to make the show interesting for the non-finance audience, they added a ton of drama, relationships and sex between coworkers and tons of drugs, which obviously you don’t find in the real life (at least at that level). Overall the show is entertaining, but not great.
I see this show getting a lot of hate on fin meme pages and the like but honestly I think it is great. Super over the top and unrealistic in many ways but broadly speaking I think it captures general "high finance" culture pretty well. Everyone on my team watches it so always fun to discuss. But in reality banking is not nearly this exciting and I am sure S&T is not either
I liked Season 1, haven't watched Season 2 yet. I like everything about the show EXCEPT for the fact that it's extremely left-wing/liberal. Leave the DEI out of my television thx, I get enough of it down my throat everywhere else already. Billions was ruined the same way for me.
What are you talking about
Can we have ONE finance show that isn’t 50% about dudes fucking eachother (industry), having transgender inclusivity (billions), banning guns and other left-wing agenda items (billions), constantly waving sexism in the finance workplace (industry)?
someone should make a tv show about drexel and the king of junk bonds and leave all the gay shit out. I literally want to see two 300 lb MDs having some twat intern running them 16 burgers for lunch while they play liar’s poker and riveting insider trading drama.
Yeah maybe you, me, and 5000 other finance bros want to see that, but apart from that no one gives a shit and it doesn't get ratings... A one dimensional show about finance with an audience of XX,XXX people is not getting put on HBO haha
I agree that some of what you said shouldn't get forced down our throat but realistically I'd rather have a show that attempts to explore real themes e.g. working class people in finance (Rob), women in finance and how they handle it (women in Industry), diversity recruiting (end of season 1). Rather than one that just goes "haha intern gets coffee" like that isn't a completely overdone trope.
Great series, just overdramatized. Some of the scenes definitely resonated with me tho…have experienced sexual misconduct, insane expectations, being yelled at, getting pulled into an office. This “Industry” is crazy and I’ve experienced this just as a SA. Have always brushed it off but it was like rewatching some moments of my life.
Why the MS? I’m not complaining, some of the scenes honestly triggered trauma I didn’t know I had. Have had some rough/weird experiences.
Yasmin is the best part
Facts facts facts
The amount of banking incels that genuinely think yasmin is a 10 is kinda sad ngl.
S2 ep 2 and ep 3 slaps. Covers S&T tho so not IB.
So far, season 2 is shaping up to be a lot more on the money. Episode 2 is great!
I don't watch any shows that have unnecessary soft core porn as a mandatory part of the storyline (almost anything on HBO).
Hemingway and Tolkien didn't need that for a good story. It tells you everything you need to know about the quality of the writing.
These people are crazy. Easily one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
I enjoyed the show, watched it with a buddy of mine during the pandemic. Lebanese chick is hot as hell, but in terms of the content, it's literally what a 20 year old white woman's retarded interpretation of what "finance bros" would be like if it was turned into a show lmao
