Really enjoyed it. Of course there's some dramatic licence in comparison to reality, but a lot in reference to the culture did remind me of many of my experiences in finance on a grad scheme. It's a good portrayal of a dominant toxic culture.
I like how realistic the sex scenes are and I felt like they actually helped the story as opposed to just being there to titillate. Yes, most of the characters are very unlikable but aside from Harper who seems unexplainably, unhinged at times, most are types you'd be accustomed to if you've worked in finance in the city.
All those expecting it be some sort of Billions- I'm genuinely confused as to this assumption, especially as it's a show clearly based and built around the graduate/grad scheme experience in finance - no inkling of billionaires ...Also, I personally did not find it predictable, the main characters did not behave in ways I expected, it took a few unexpected twists.
