In the cutthroat world of international finance, a group of young graduates compete for a limited set of permanent positions at a top investment bank in London. The boundaries between colleague, friend, lover, and enemy soon blur as they immerse themselves in a company culture defined as much by sex, drugs and ego as it is by deals and dividends.

Myha'la
A sharp, nasty, and increasingly addictive finance drama that gets stronger as it leans into ambition, class tension, and workplace self-destruction. It’s at its best when it treats banking like a pressure cooker for sex, status, and moral compromise, with a glossy but ruthless tone that feels closer to prestige melodrama than procedural TV.
Industry is one of the sharper modern workplace dramas, using investment banking as a setting for class anxiety, identity games, and ruthless social climbing. It has the slick confidence of HBO prestige TV, but its real engine is emotional: who gets power, who gets used, and who can survive the culture without being consumed by it.
The show’s early seasons are the most immediately compelling, with a volatile ensemble and a strong sense of momentum. As it goes on, it becomes more ambitious and more operatic, sometimes to its benefit and sometimes at the cost of focus, but it remains unusually good at making boardroom politics feel as intense as a thriller.
If you like shows where ambition is both seductive and corrosive, this is an easy recommendation. It’s stylish, sharp-edged, and often uncomfortable in exactly the way a great workplace drama should be.
A sharper, funnier, and more ruthless sibling to Industry in its obsession with power, status, and emotional damage inside elite institutions.
Another glossy high-stakes finance drama built on ego, strategy, and transactional relationships, with a more overtly pulpy edge.
Shares the same pressure-cooker intensity, workplace hierarchy, and constant sense that ambition can curdle into chaos.
A premium drama about status, reinvention, and the cost of fitting into an elite professional culture.
For viewers who want a systemic look at institutions, incentives, and the human damage caused by power structures.
A smart ensemble drama about ambition, competition, and the emotional toll of building a career inside a volatile industry.
Another fast-talking workplace drama about elite talent, pressure, and professional identity, though with a very different tone.
For the toxic chemistry, sharp dialogue, and relationships that feel both funny and emotionally corrosive.
If the appeal is glossy excess, youth, sex, drugs, and self-destruction, this is a strong tonal neighbor.
A more chaotic, youth-driven precursor in its frankness about sex, drugs, and emotional volatility.
A gritty, adult ensemble drama about a transactional world where sex, money, and power are inseparable.
For viewers drawn to emotionally precise character work and the slow burn of people trying to live with themselves.
