Harry Lawtey - Industry On Hbo

I don’t know what to think about it.
He said he’d do it with everyone and everything but I think he was just trying to make Yasmín jealous. Clement tried to make a move on him, he put his hand on Rob’s thigh and rob was clearly not pleased.
I didn’t interpret it as a move, just Rob struggling with his future at the firm and struggling with becoming like Clement
 
When Clement did that, it was already at a point where (spoiler) Robert was already facing the RIF since Clement was "retired" and the only client the man had stopped trading. I think Robert is heteroflexible given that the spectrum seems to be more fluid with the younger generation: I do believe he did get that blowjob given how it fed his ego having that student eye-ball him. He also let Usman shove a tub up his butt to let the coke get blown in, and given how "liberal" Usman was around him, I don't doubt there were things that happened between the two. I hope more of that flexibility is explored and shown in season 2, especially given that senior's comment about how clients would "like" him.

yeah, i bet many clients will “like” him.
So, do you think Robert was hired or was he fired at the RIF? I though he was safe given the executive from NYC liked him.
But after seeing his final scene, in not so sure anymore.
 
He was shaking hads with one of the bossing at the end so i think hes safe plus he is a main character so you know plot armor but hes one of the more interesting. They were right tho you robert is the most charismatic of all the grads im sure clients like a people person
 
I do hope Gus works elsewhere. He was too tight lipped and angst it - not enjoyable character at all.

Given that Eric came back because of Adler and Harper chose her own survival, it's very likely Robert is safe, given that his only value is that Adler likes him and Adler is very important to the firm.

Yeah. I also thought about that. Daría was the one who didn’t like him.
I felt so sorry for Rob specially surging the last 3 episodes. He just wants to fit in and to have someone care for him.

Yasmín asking what he was doing in her place during dinner was harsh, the “how fucked are you?” in the elevator, then Harper blaming him for everything that happened during Christmas party, then Daria telling him he is worthless, his daddy issues.
No wonder why he’s sleeping with everything and everybody and doing drugs trying to be liked and accepted.

Love the sensible discussion on this series now we have moved on from him having a cut prosthetic arse has a second series been confirmed?
Not yet. And sadly, I don’t think there will be.
I’m hopeful but who knows. Is still “too early”. HBO hasn’t aired the entire season. I believe they are to show episode 5 or 6.

they’ve only released the entire season for the apps.

Full season has been posted on HBO Max

I have HBO but there's only 4 episodes. One is added every week, the week after it's been broadcast on the BBC...

This being said, I never doubted it was real. The way it swings, you never see that with a prosthetic. And a digital reworking would be too time consuming and expensive for such a short unimportant shot. They could have done it without the dick.

For the colour: in my experience, dick colour doesn't match the body more often than it does.

where are you based? I believed all of the HBO apps had released the entire season by now.

I'm in Belgium. I checked it and it seems to be a cable provider issue (or rather "lie") and not an HBO problem. HBO itself is unavailable here, our cable provider does offer an extra package with "all HBO content". But apparently it's not all, or at least not all at once...

If the show is mimicking banking in real life. He definitely wouldn’t be RIF’d. Robert is white, male, and good looking so he doesn’t have to go the extra mile compared to the other graduates. It’s also a front office sales job and so being likable and building relationships is key. The executive during the speech already hinted at that during their evaluation of the candidates. He will be liked by clients. That is his value.

With that said. I like the actor Harry Lawtey. I hope he is in Season 2 (if renewed), because he did a great job with the Robert character.

Agreed. I also really like the portrayal of a sexually fluid character, moreso a opportunist when it comes to sex. While he prefers his dalliances with women, Robert seems very comfortable in the company of men, especially when it boosts his ego. I hope they explore more of that in season 2.
