I think Rishi might be wearing a wire or something to set Harper up after she wouldn’t give him a job at the end of last season. Probably blames what happened to his wife on her because he can’t take accountability. Wouldn’t be surprised if Harper winds up in jail in the end #IndustryHBO

Whitney burned his friend. As I expected. Is it the professional thing to do? Maybe. But is it cutthroat and asshole-ish? Definitely. Ambition will do that. #IndustryHBO

#industryhbo has been renewed for a Fourth season and it's a miracle considering the creators didn't know if they would have seen a future after chaotic yet crazy S1.

Whitney’s problem is having to accept that you can’t be half a bank. Tender (heh) is just a mattress to hide money in. But he misses the chaos that comes with managing money and investments. #IndustryHBO
