Alison Herman TV Critic SPOILER ALERT: This story contains plot details for “Nikki Beach, or: So Many Ways to Lose,” Season 3, Episode 6 of HBO’s “Industry,” now streaming on Max.
Last week, “Industry” ended on a rare cliffhanger: with Yasmin (Marisa Abela), the publishing heiress turned finance associate turned tabloid target, seemingly confessing to the murder of her disgraced, missing father Charles (Adam Levy).
This week, the HBO drama finally shows its audience what happened on that fateful yacht ride in Mallorca. In an extended flashback, we learn that Yasmin didn’t technically kill Charles — she simply failed to alert anyone when Charles jumped into the water, a futile attempt to emotionally manipulate his daughter in the midst of an explosive fight.
Written by Joseph Charlton, directed by Isabella Eklöf, and overseen by co-creators and showrunners Mickey Down and Konrad Kay, the episode puts a spotlight on a character who’s become the de facto protagonist of the series’ rapturously acclaimed breakout season.
