The article discusses the upcoming fourth series of the BBC television drama "Industry", created by Konrad Kay and Mickey Down. The show follows the lives of two young women, Yasmin "Yasi" Khan (Marisa Abela) and Harper Spillane (Myha'la Hermer), as they navigate the world of finance in London.
The article highlights the unique aspect of the show, which is its focus on female dialogue and relationships. The writers, Kay and Down, have been praised for their keen observation of women's friendships and dynamics, particularly the complex and twisted relationship between Yasmin and Harper.
The show also explores themes of patriarchy, addiction, and mental health, including Henry Muck's (Kit Harington) childhood trauma and subsequent mental health issues. The article notes that while the show is darkly funny, it doesn't qualify as satire, and instead presents a nuanced portrayal of finance and its impact on individuals.
The writers are also open about their own experiences in finance and their connection to the show. They have stated that they spend as much time with each other as his wife, and that the show is a product of their communal mind.
The article concludes by stating that series four of "Industry" will be available on iPlayer from 12 January, and BBC One at 10:35pm.
Some key quotes from the interview include:
* "It's not about celebrating capitalism, it's about people who go into it and the way we structure society..." - Konrad Kay
* "If you reduce everything to the quid pro quo of market logic – which is like: what can I get out of you and what can you get out of me? – then what happens to your own humanity, your ability to be vulnerable, to empathise?" - Mickey Down
* "I spend as much time with Mickey as his wife... Of course he annoys me. I annoy him." - Konrad Kay

... i mean who says that about ppl getting caught up in capitalism? 
it makes me wanna watch the show again just to see all the funny one-liners 
Like, I've been hooked from the start and can't wait to see what these girls get up to next. The way they tackle real issues like patriarchy and addiction is so refreshingly honest - it's not always easy to watch, but it's real. And those writers are literally the coolest, having open conversations about their own experiences and how that informs the show. It's amazing when creators can make you feel seen and heard. I'm definitely gonna be tuning in from Jan 12th 
so the writers are saying their show is all about female friendships and relationships? yeah right, like that's not just a cop-out for lack of male characters 
. and don't even get me started on how they think they're being nuanced with their portrayal of patriarchy... I mean, come on, it's just a bunch of rich people drinking wine in London 
. but hey, at least the show is darkly funny, which is code for "we can make fun of the problems without actually fixing them" 
. and btw, who needs satire when you've got a show that's basically just a fancy way of saying "look at us, we're complex and interesting"... 
but, gotta say, I'm a bit worried about the show's portrayal of finance... it feels kinda sanitized? I mean, it's not like they're really getting into the nitty-gritty of how it affects people's lives. And don't even get me started on Henry's mental health issues - it just feels like a plot device to make him a "sympathetic" character.
And I love how the writers are open about their own experiences in finance - it gives me hope that we'll get a more realistic representation of the industry.
, and now they're making a 4th season of Industry? that's crazy! I remember Marisa Abela as the lead in the first season, she was so talented! 
. but what really drew me to the show was how it tackled real issues like patriarchy and mental health. it's not often you see shows that are this raw and honest about the struggles of women in finance 
. can't wait for the new season to drop on iPlayer! 
, I feel like we don't see enough stories like that on TV, especially in the finance world 
. The writers are so open about their own experiences and connections with each other, it makes the show feel super genuine and honest 
. And I love how they're not afraid to get into dark topics like patriarchy and mental health, but still manage to make it funny
