The post Industry Season 3 Episode 3 Review: It appeared first on TV Fanatic.
Sure, Yasmin and her undeniable “It” factor certainly seem like the season’s main event, but honestly? The third episode of Industry Season 3 really should’ve been dubbed “Leviathan.”
I mean, in this episode, we see Harper taking all of the chaos she breathes and weaving it into a climate panel that’s just as fiery as, well, the climate itself. In typical Harper fashion, she gleefully thrives in this whirlwind of wheeling and dealing.
Dare I say, every single character in Industry is swimming in troubled waters… and boy, are they in deep!
### Ken Leung: The Man That You Are…
Sure, there were a ton of plot twists and turns in this episode, but everything seemed to converge spectacularly during the climate panel. And let’s be real, Ken Leung’s performance stole the show. Watching Eric navigate his convoluted emotions regarding Pierpoint, life, and that long-awaited yet tumultuous reunion with his mentee—whom I affectionately refer to as his “spawn from hell”—is utterly compelling.
Eric Tao’s journey is a dizzying rollercoaster ride of high stakes and personal crises, and here we are, reveling in that beautiful mess of a midlife crisis he’s having. I often feel a little guilty for enjoying his plight, but can you blame me? Leung’s portrayal hits all the right emotional notes, making each episode unforgettable.
### Eric and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad… Year
What a transformation for Eric! He’s gone from the guy who exuded calm confidence to an absolute hot mess. Let’s face it, Pierpoint used to be his entire identity, while his family was just window dressing—all too common among those who prioritize their career above all else.
Now? Everything from his job to his personal life is in shambles, and as he clings desperately to his youth, Eric practically becomes the poster child for male insecurity. I’m here for every moment of it, including his escapades with sex workers that cost more than my rent!
Watching Eric’s need for validation and affirmation is like a spicy guilty pleasure. He’s the kind of train wreck you can’t look away from—one moment you’re squirming in discomfort, and the next, you’re cracking a smile because his absurdity has you in stitches. A balancing act of disgust, humor, and sympathy, if you ask me.
### “They Make It Seem Like You’re At The Top of The Ladder. You’re Really Just At The Bottom of The New One.”
Eric usually prides himself on being at the peak of his game, but that title has turned into a double-edged sword of instability. It seems like Adler is taking pleasure in Eric’s downfall—setting him up for some epic fails on purpose. I mean, can we talk about how shady it was for Adler to bolt before that panel, knowing the ship was set to sink?
Eric was thrown into the spotlight trying to save face not just for himself, but for Pierpoint and their flimsy reputation regarding Lumi. Spoiler alert: He was destined to crash and burn, especially when the notorious Frank factor enters the equation!
### Eric Only Has An Illusion of Power
Eric’s power looks great on paper, but in reality? He’s about as powerful as a wet napkin—entertaining and cringe-worthy. Every step he takes seems more like a slide down a never-ending descent. One moment he’s basking in applause, and the next, Harper’s zinger leaves him on the floor, and we can only watch in horror—and delight—as he grapples with that.
Good ol’ Wilhelmina nailed it when she pointed out, “When you make partner, they make it seem like you’re at the top of the ladder. You’re really just at the bottom of the new one.” That hits hard, doesn’t it?
### Yasmin Has “It,” and All The Boys Gotta Have “It”
Now, let’s talk about Yasmin. The lady’s charm practically draws men like moths to a flame, and it’s honestly kind of hilarious—if not a tad tiresome. We’ve had a front-row seat to Robert’s tragic love story over three seasons. Poor guy, longing after Yasmin, while barely able to get a word in.
And yet, there’s something about her dynamic with Eric that’s just so, I don’t know, electric? It’s a weird twist of intrigue and tension. While he seeks a softer, more manageable version of Harper in her, he also grapples with some midlife existential crisis that just can’t be ignored.
### Henry’s Depth Reaches New Depths, Including Yasmin’s
Let’s not forget about Henry. Kit Harington continues to weave the lines between loathsome and lovable. He’s awfully good at making a guy
