I've loved this show and its synth soundtrack since the beginning, when it was SKINS meets SUCCESSION in a cutthroat London finance firm. That was when Harper's biggest problem was that she secretly went to SUNY-Binghamton and my biggest problem was that I didn't really understand the financial jargon. Everyone was stressed out, made bad decisions, and partied hard -- basically, Kendall Roy. In Seasons 3 and Season 4, the show made the best decision to pivot away from the singular firm and into a loose interpretation of its title, looking at various other industries (government, banking) and how they're all intertwined, playing fast and loose with money and Harper could short them. Aside from all the storylines, the character work is tremendous and have I mentioned the soundtrack? Brilliant. Harper and Eric are my favorite toxic American duo in England -- two dysfunctional POC who are somehow the weirdest finance kindred spirits, but it works -- and I hope they reunite in the final season.
