Making things all the more brutal, Nicole dies shortly thereafter.
But Robert is quickly drawn back into Mucks mess by Yasmins scheme to save the Lumi IPO.
Before the season aired, he broke down the factors simultaneously driving and impeding Roberts quintessentially British aspiration.
This season puts Robert through a lot right off the bat with Nicoles death and the Lumi IPO.
So, ostensibly, Roberts career is going well.
Hes given more responsibility as a foot soldier of the bank.
At the same time, his personal life is continuing to implode.
He started the show as this very maverick guy, very brash and overcompensating, and hes gradually shriveled.
Its also a lovely ode to people not changing.
You dont necessarily know whats coming next.
But were also at the point where they grant us a lovely level of autonomy.
The likes of Kit and Sarah Goldberg joining the show helped with that.
The fact that theyre so established and wanted to come and be part of our team.
What was it like to work with Kit?I loved it.
We had a bit of a bromance, really.
One thing that comes to the fore with Kits character is the class dynamic between him and Robert.
Heres this posh guy whos his boss that he both has to serve and cant stand.
Its a quintessentially British aspiration.
Hes always had a case of seeking validation from the wrong places.
My entire extended family is from that town.
I never lived there because my parents moved away.
My parents brothers and sisters and friends thought that was incredibly glamorous.
But I have never lived in the place that I feel as though Im from.
I visit every Christmas to see my family and support the football team of that place.
Theres a northern twang in my voice, but I dont immediately sound like thats where Im from.
I have my own tussles with that.
This is a bizarre person to quote, but do you know Rick Astley?
As inNever Gonna Give You Up?Yes, an absolute classic.
I related to that, because I see the world through my parents perspective.
And I think Robert is exactly that.
You, Myhala, and Marisa Abela have gotten some big career opportunities in film off ofIndustry.
What was it like to have this show as a launching pad?Its strange.
Sharing it with Marisa and Myhala … well, they are the show to me.
They are so ferociously talented.
Theres a real supportive online grid for the three of us in our little WhatsApp group.
Weve been best mates since week two.
We went on a holiday the second month of filming the first season to Brussels.
A niche place to go!
A crazy weekend in the home of European diplomacy.
Were not the babies anymore.
What are your interactions withIndustryfans like?
But Ive been surprised at how broad the demographics of people who enjoy the show are.
Thats a lovely thing!
It has a crude and callous viewpoint of the world, arguably rightly.
