Lead sentence, "American" or "British" series?

The lead sentence currently describes this as an "American" series. Per MOS:TVLEAD the nationality of a series is based on "the country [...] within which principal creative control was exercised". Are there reliable sources over whether this is the US or the UK? Compare with "His Dark Materials (TV series)". Gabbe (talk) 08:27, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To followup, I've removed "British-American" from the lede, as per WP:TVLEAD: "If the nationality is not singular or cannot be supported by appropriate citation, omit the information from the introductory sentence and cover the different national interests later, where these can reliably be referenced." I've also clarified the production section to make clear that the Bad Wolf production house is British. As (American) HBO and Bad Wolf are both producing this series, it should be considered a "binational" TV series, and thus nationality should not be included in the first sentence as per TVLEAD. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:32, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article still reads oddly. This show is made by Bad Wolf in Cardiff, and is supposedly set in London though with a sprinkling of American characters. BBC screenings don't refer to any American connection. HBO are really just picking up the bills. --Ef80 (talk) 15:10, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

8 episodes not 5

The opening says 8 episodes (as do umpteen sources) yet the table shows it as 5. Inconsistent but I can’t fix as protected. 95.146.83.194 (talk) 20:01, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning that I agree that we should present 8 instead of 5. I understand only 5 episodes have aired on HBO while all 8 have been released on HBO Max, but Template:Infobox television's documentation doesn't specify or indicate the cable count is preferred over streaming. I think the number that's greater should take precedence in this case. -- Wikipedical (talk) 19:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cast

When the show began, this directive made sense: In first season credited order (with new main cast members at the bottom) eg Harper is initially 4th billed in Pilot, please do not change.

As season 2 progresses, it becomes clear that Harper and Yasmin are the main characters, with Robert, Gus and Eric following suit. The original order makes sense for the rest of the list, but not the top five when looking at the entire series. Askingforafriend (talk) 02:28, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:TVCAST, The cast listing should be ordered according to the original broadcast credits, with new cast members being added to the end of the list. — YoungForever^(talk) 04:59, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the "Main Characters" are "Recurring"

The Main Cast list on this page is very nonsensical, basically includes every single cast mate who appeared 1-2 episodes as a MAIN CAST.

I.e. asim chaudhry was in 2 episodes, why is he listed as a main character.

Tell me a show of someone who is billed as a main character but is only there for 2 episodes. 142.114.86.49 (talk) 20:08, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We can only be accurate to the show's end credits as per Wiki rules, and all these characters were credited with the main cast when they appear (and distinguished from recurring/guest actors who are listed under "co-starring") so they are technically "main cast".Pinchofhope (talk) 19:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

government inquest should be select committee inquiry

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Industry (TV series). That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is low. There are currently 59 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

Listed on the HBO page as a 'government select committee' which is also not quite right, committees are run by parliament. Adding as a suggestion as I work for committees so have a conflict of interest but think it's worthwhile to edit the text and link to the page. Haven't edited wikipedia in a long time, so thanks in advance for your patience with my rusty skills/editing knowledge Mcapl (talk) 14:14, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your request.

I'm not sure that I see any strong conflict of interest here (in terms of there being any risk of promotionalism or non-neutral point of view). I'm perfectly happy for you to proceed to make the change you have suggested above. Best wishes, Axad12 (talk) 10:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
