INDUSTRY SEASON 4 EARNS 5 STAR REVIEW ON THE GUARDIAN!

Special shoutout to echo’s Editor Simon Smith, ACE and echo’s Director of Photography Federico Cesca, ADF, ASK, who both worked on Season 4 of 'INDUSTRY'.

Directed by Michelle Savill, Luke Snellin,  Mickey Down + Konrad Kay, and produced by HBO + Bad Wolf, this season is praised as the show’s best yet.

Hannah J Davies argues that, with major new cast members, timely financial storylines and a deeper psychological focus, the show becomes more twisted and stylish while taking on themes of power, money and morality.

She also suggests that, despite centring on the ultra-wealthy, the series feels more unsettling and relevant than before, positioning it as top-tier television.

We are so excited to continue watching as new episodes come out every Monday!
