Industry‘s cocktail of business dealings, sex, and drugs has earned it comparisons to Succession, Billions, Euphoria, and Skins. But in its third season, it’s never been clearer that Industry is doing its own thing.

That’s because Season 3 of Industry is the show in experimentation mode. Flashbacks are on the table now, supporting characters get more of a spotlight, and the scope has never been larger. Co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay pull references from everywhere from Uncut Gems and the films of Michael Mann to Barry Lyndon and A Room with a View, creating episodes that vary in tone but never lose the frenetic energy that makes Industry tick. The risks of constantly playing with a show’s formula may not always pay off (looking at you, The Bear Season 3), but for Industry, whose characters live on risky choices and shifting alliances, this approach proves absolutely perfect.
