Watch ‘Industry’ this year-end for a gallery view of grubby trading
Looking for an online serial to binge-watch in the run-up to 2025? Viewers with a literary bent need look no further than One Hundred Years of Solitude, the Netflix version of Gabriel García Márquez’s 1967 novel directed by Alex García López Laura Mora. An HBO serial directed by Lena Dunham that’s available in India via the Jio Cinema app, it’s about high-strung careers and low-laid lives at an investment bank called Pierpoint, and its third season tops BBC’s list of ‘The 20 best TV shows of 2024’ for good reason. In a way, it does for today’s generation what Oliver Stone’s 1987 film Wall Street did for Gen-X: It gives us a gallery view of an operation theatre, Pierpoint’s trading floor in this case, letting us watch with morbid fascination the innards of how money is made off money. It features a short-squeeze of a dud stock by rebel retail traders, likely inspired by America’s GameStop episode that battered hedge funds, and an inflated public offer that swiftly turns scandalous, with ESG investing treated as just another spinner of lucre.
