The spectacular third season of “Industry” starts not on the crowded, bustling trading floor of the London-based banking institution Pierpoint & Company, but on a boat amidst the sea. Over the last two seasons, the financial drama, co-produced by HBO and the BBC, has steadily grown in scope and ambition, much like the protagonist at its center, but the decision to start in literal open waters can’t help but feel like a deliberate metaphor: “Industry” is now a sea of endlessly exciting possibilities.
Season 3 graduates “Industry” from Max binge premiere in Season 1 and the Monday night slot in Season 2 to HBO’s biggest provider of cultural relevance with the Sunday night slot.
