I think she could do a good show about insufferable people. Such as she did with Girls, which as good, but also insufferable, and about hideous people. It was good for 2-3 years. No denying. She could do a good campus show, for example. She could do a show based on an Oberlin like place filled with horrible people and 1 or 2 delightful people having to put up with them. But the horrible people have to say funny things and be horrible in a slightly amusing way.

R16 R35 You misunderstand the role of the director of a pilot in television.
An attachment of a pilot director can get, as it did in this case, a series order from a network or studio. ('Industry' had been in development for at least two years before she attached.)
A pilot director, even if they never direct another episode of the show, is paid royalties (subject to whatever deal they negotiate) on every episode of the show after the pilot. If they direct more episodes, they get their fee plus royalties. Dunham may not take a 'co-creator' or 'created by' title at the top of the show, but she's definitely considered a co-creator of the show and her name will be third among the producers on the call sheet for the rest of its run.

R45 She has an e.p. credit. That is a producing role. Even if that role is the co-creators saying, 'Lena Dunham directed our pilot.' That's enough. And there are a lot of different kinds of producers. There's no shit to make up. Most of the people credited as producers on TV are not producers at all but writers credited as co-e.p.'s or e.p.'s for the run of a season. They get a 'written by' credit once or twice a season on network TV. Cable can be different. But none of those people is a 'producer,' in the way that it seems like you think it means.
Again, I think you 're not understanding the significance of the person who directs a show's pilot. It's a show on a major network. She directed the pilot. That sets the tone for the rest of the show. Decisions to make more episodes are usually but not always are based on the quality of the pilot. I don't like Lena as a person, I don't like her work, but that's just how TV works. The way it was reported in the trades, HBO picked it up (either as a co-studio, or licensed it from BBC) because she attached for the pilot.
When Bad Wolf (co-studio with BBC & HBO) announced the show, she was the only director they even mentioned. And because she did the pilot, they're listing her as an e.p. They clearly hired other writing e.p.'s, brought on other non-writing e.p.'s (usually network execs, sometimes stars) and they definitely picked up other directors.
Looking at the aired credits in the US, she's only listed as a director. So there goes your theory or whatever about her rejecting credit. Maybe HBO (Max), BBC or Bad Studio got her name off the credit block. Or her contract specified it. Half the people at the top at HBO who got the show made just got fired a couple months ago. Maybe Lena's champion at HBO got fired and then HBO fucked her over. Great.
Lena sucks, don't waste your energy worrying about it.

You can attempt to patronise me all you'd like, but it looks rather fake when you then have to admit she's not listed in the credits on the actual show as a producer. So, which to trust, a mistake on a website, or the actual broadcast credits, hmm.

Everyone in this except William Tudor and the older actors are newbies waiting for their breakthrough role. As such, of course they agree to full frontal nudity and sex scenes.

Now that I've finished the show I am actually surprised by how flawed they took the main character. Certainly no one can accuse her of being a Mary Jane, she was shown to behave every bit as dastardly and underhanded as the antihero male lead. Also noticeable that its our white male lead that comes from a poor background while the wealthy and entitled character is a black guy. And the handsy sexual assaulting client is a woman. They definitely tried to go against the grain with those choices

This is actually a very good, if flawed, show. They get something very right with the office culture, hierarchies, and corporate "types".

Yasmin dismissed his description of it, but he seems to be one of those super tactile Harry Styles types who is chill about letting physical affection with anyone hot slide into sex. He had sex with a client in a club bathroom in .Episode 1.

r109 What did I get wrong? The guy was referred to as Muslim in a subsequent episode when Robert was with his boss in Amsterdam meeting with the big dutch client who gave the crude story about Muslim immigrants to Holland having never seen a western toilet before. This was after Robert made an excuse for Hari missing the meeting because of an upset stomach.

When you're saying a show needs more exposition, but you don't even know a character's name, and then ask if they were bi when the show wasn't exactly vague about that...

R114, I didn't say it succeeded as being pron but it's not really dramatic either. It's a failure on both counts. I feel sorry for the actors with all the simulated sex scenes and masturbation scenes they all have to do. Is that really so earth shattering, the stuff of drama? Twentysomethings masturbate? Ground breaking.
I did like when the guy kept walking into the glass wall though.

I thought the failed threesome attempt and the scene she where she had cold feet about asking him to eat his cum off the mirror and he does it anyway were some of my favorite scenes of the series. Not at all because they were porny, I didn't think either really was, but because they were just good scenes.

Well R118, remove all the sex scenes and I’m not sure what is left really. I mean, why was it so important for that guy to eat his own cum? Oh, and then get blown by the graduate hopeful? And receive photos of his co-worker getting eaten out by her boyfriend? Oh, and then have an aborted three way? And that’s just one of the characters.
When you have characters showing up for five minutes just to have a sex scene and other characters who are only notable for their large appendages, etc., it kind of is like porn. Slow moving for sure but that’s the whole raison detre of the show. Young people shagging.
Not sure what show you’ve been watching.

R123 is honestly weird to me. Somehow they don't seem to understand that scenes involving sex can do just as much important character work of scenes of people at work.
The sex scenes in this show were rarely "lets pause the plot and look at the actors naked", a lot of character development is involved.
It honestly seems like sex makes you uncomfortable.

It's basically just like "Girls," except the characters are much more ethnically diverse and much wealthier
But they whine about sex and body image and finding a career, just like in "Girls," and they discuss their bizarre ethical standards, just like in "Girls."

I thought the show was well done, especially the music was great. And while I love shows about unlikeable characters, the people in this show were just fucking stupid.
It's fine if Harper is scamming her way to the top but she should have been fired a long time ago. She was dumb and unprofessional, making mistakes and losing money, blabbing about her bonus when she was told not to do that, barging into the meeting room and wanting to talk to Daria - wtf was that? None of it made sense. I guess we are supposed to root for her (and the other characters) but I don't see any reason why.
So, is everyone in London doing drugs?

This show was actually a lot of fun and made me miss London. It's nothing like Girls and she isn't leading most of it but directed a few episodes. Give it a chance it's only 8 episodes.
For people that like Succession you may like Industry.

I watched the series. At its best it reminded me of a bit of "This Life" (BBC 1996-97), but in a watered down, timid way. The scenes between Harper and Eric were the saving grace, otherwise it was a passable mood piece that I could watch and catch up with things on my phone at the same time.

For those who liked the mood of "Industry," this is the somewhat awkward pilot episode of a much earlier series that, at its best small moments, "Industry" reminded me of.
"This Life" (BBC, 1996-1997.)
It's 25+ years old but holds up, I think.

'How is Olly? Can he actually act?'
Yes, Olly can act really well, although to be fair he is playing a character very close to his own personality. Super articulate, highly sexed, a singer/actor and full of energy, but also very mistaken about the seriousness AIDS in the early days. The show has been given 5*s by the Guardian, Empire and everyone who's reviewed it so far.
