Television Industry (HBO Show)

[Man of Leisure]

Anyone watching this? Seen several episodes and not sure how I feel about it. I've seen a review describe it as a millennial Mad Men, but obviously not on that level.

The show is about recent college graduates who join an investment bank in London. The concept seems quite douchey but sorta feels a guilty pleasure. The acting is quite good and can't recall a show in recent memory, or maybe ever, being more sexually graphic (got something for everyone).

No one watching Season 2? It's been really really good!

Season 2 has been great and good storylines that are in line with the pandemic. The writing has been really good.

The name of this show has been popping up here and there, some comparing it to Succession (some even saying it's better than Succession). Is it really that good?

Is this the one that was bbc but now hbo ?

Just finished Season 2. It is very bingeable and I'd recommend it, but it is quite easy to get lost in the jargon.

It's not as good as Succession but it's extremely good. Especially Season 2.

Yep.

Underrated show and yes, the jargon can lose people...but the character personalities are so good, as is the writing.
