On the HBO high finance drama “Industry,” basically everyone serves cruel insults. It’s part of the culture at their bank, Pierpoint. But Myha’la’s character, Harper Stern, goes after friends and enemies with deep, cutting verbal attacks. Myha’la reads a Modern Love essay by a woman with the opposite problem: Laura Pritchett and her husband have avoided conflict for so long, she writes, that the fights they’re not having are tearing them apart. Myha’la also tells the host, Anna Martin, about the kind of communication style she strives to maintain, and what it’s like when she and her fiancé, Armando Rivera, find themselves in a fight. The Season 3 finale of “Industry” drops Sunday night on HBO. Laura Pritchett has written seven novels, including her latest, “Three Keys.” Want to leave us a voice mail message on the Modern Love hotline?

Today, actor Maihalla Maihalla stars in the HBO series industry, which has its season three finale on Sunday.
The show's about the finance world and.
A group of people who will say.
Or do pretty much anything to win.
The character Michala plays, a banking prodigy named Harper Stern, just might be the most ruthless of them all.
There's no room for you in the modern market.
A machine could do your job.
And it seems like she saves her most devastating insults for the people closest to her.
Your arrogance is just you overcompensating for the fact that you could not be any more fucking ordinary.
You are talentless and useless and a fucking whore.
Oof.
That's gotta hurt.
When I met Michala, she was warm and delightful by contrast, but she did hint that there might be a little.
Bit of Harper in her somewhere.
I think Harper is like an alternate universe version of me, had I not been raised by a Virgo.
