Industry is a TV show that regularly baffles me, but in a good way: There\u2019s little I love more than watching these fictional hotshot bankers spout a bunch of impenetrable financial jargon on a Sunday evening. But I\u2019m currently experiencing a new flavor of Industry-related bafflement, and I don\u2019t like it at all. When this year\u2019s Emmy nominations were announced on Tuesday, I saw that my show was nominated for exactly \u2026 nothing. And I\u2019d sooner be forced to explain what happened to Lumi\u2019s stock in Season 3 than explain the decision Emmy voters just made, because I simply don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n

The third and most recent season of Industry, which began airing last August, marked a breakthrough for the show, both creatively and ratings-wise. Though I\u2019ve loved the show since the beginning, I can see how it might not have felt particularly groundbreaking in its early episodes, when it seemed like its ambition was to be a Grey\u2019s Anatomy for the banking world, swapping first-year doctors for first-year financial analysts, only with way more drugs and sex, thanks to its HBO imprimatur. But over time, it\u2019s matured into something better and more complex, a financial drama populated by thrillingly complicated characters and relationships. Emmy voters are shorting the wrong stock, or however you say that, and are looking stodgy in their inability to recognize the great show that has emerged.<\/p>\n

Marisa Abela in particular demanded to be recognized with an acting nomination for her peerless portrayal of Yasmin Kara-Hanani, a deceptively straightforward heiress who spends the third season embroiled in scandal thanks to the disappearance of her ne\u2019er-do-well father. Abela was honored with a BAFTA award following the season, not to mention a budding film career (we\u2019ll all agree not to mention that Amy Winehouse biopic<\/a>), but it\u2019s frankly criminal that the Emmys aren\u2019t taking this opportunity to get a piece of her too. I don\u2019t want to live in a world where I have resentment for Sharon Horgan or Keri Russell, both of whom received nominations for their work in Bad Sisters and The Diplomat, respectively, and both of whom I love, but that\u2019s the position the Emmys are putting me in.<\/p>\n

    And that\u2019s to say nothing of Ken Leung, who has been doing Emmy-worthy work since the show\u2019s first season playing Eric Tao, a managing director at Pierpoint & Co. who finds himself increasingly sidelined by forces beyond his control. Sagar Radia, as a mouthy trader named Rishi with a gambling problem, also had a standout Season 3 that should have secured him a nomination, especially after one final sequence in the season that has taken up residence in plenty of viewers\u2019 minds. Couldn\u2019t the Emmys have spared at least one of those White Lotus supporting noms for these guys?<\/p>\n

    I don\u2019t mean to pick on The White Lotus too much, but it, along with The Bear and Severance, are prime exhibits in the disturbing trend of TV shows that start strong but struggle to maintain their quality, but get awarded with Emmy nominations anyway. Industry deserves recognition all the more for bucking this pattern and getting better every season. With any luck, the Emmy snub won\u2019t change that: One of the show\u2019s creators promised as much on Twitter when he briefly weighed in on the show\u2019s lack of nominations: \u201cWho cares, we\u2019re busy working on a better season,\u201d he wrote Tuesday<\/a>. Better than Season 3, one of the best seasons of TV I\u2019ve seen in years? For all we know, that still may not be good enough for the Emmys, but that won\u2019t stop me from praying for an Industry-al revolution.<\/p>\n
