“The clues and red herrings are well presented, and the insights into London’s brutal past are fascinating”
“Though the ‘murder club’ has echoes of Richard Osman’s bestsellers, these were certainly not cosy killings, and Lucy’s handling of the story sometimes felt too lighthearted. Inspecting one crime scene, where segments of a fourth corpse were found, she gave a shudder and murmured, ‘Ooh … creepy!’ But the clues and red herrings are well presented, and the insights into London’s brutal past are fascinating. It’s … well, a ripping yarn.”

“Across eight hours there is some absolute bravura television here, including the return of the matchless former-trader Rishi (Sagar Radia), who once again gets a chance in episode four to show why he is TV’s greatest human car crash. At first you have to wade through rather too much machine-gunned business jargon in order to make head or tail of what Tender is tendering, but I suspect that is just [Konrad] Kay and [Mickey] Down engendering a sense of this being a periphrastic house of cards that is doomed to fail. And failure, inevitable, wonderful failure, is Industry’s stock in trade – the whole season plays like a slow-motion collapse as late-stage capitalism eats itself in gruesome, hypnotic detail.”
