Another fan pointed to the timely themes as the reason why they enjoyed it so much. “Industry addressing the regression of political correctness in this social climate ……… the show of all time” the poster wrote, along with a meme describing the show as “The GOAT”.

The second of eight planned episodes for season four airs on January 18, broadcasting on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK. It follows the warmly received third season, which earned cast member Marisa Abela a BAFTA award.
Season four has already received rave reviews from critics. It received a five-star review from The Guardian, who noted that after the show “hit its stride” in its third season, “season four is even better, truly top-tier television that’s surely destined for end-of-year lists, a serious feat when we’re barely a week into January.” Other critics described it as “jaw-dropping” and “ambitious”.
The new season made NME’s list of shows to look forward to in 2026, describing the show’s weekly rollout as “a sure sign that Industry’s stock is still rising.”
