Industry Struggles to Keep Its Edge as Its Fourth Season Goes Off the Rails

Defector's Israel Daramola argues Season 4 of Industry is overstuffed and unfocused, with a maximalist, ADHD-like turn that dulls highs and makes character motivations hard to parse, even as a few performances (notably Minghella as the Epstein-like villain) land; expanding beyond Pierpoint and leaning on a shadowy puppet-master plot ultimately feels contrived and leaves the show with uneven momentum.
