The banking part of the show is interesting. They show us trading floors, client meetings and business trips. They also use a good financial vocabulary (Vix, pips, EUR/USD synonymous) which is great.
The dark sides of the show are obviously the sex scenes and drugs, which are insanely over exaggerated. I work in banking and I've also got friends working in the City for big banks. This is not the truth. This is a Wolf of Wall Street kinda vibes and utterly false.
I'll give it a 6, just because the banking part is good. Of course, HBO and the BBC had to keep it interesting for the "non-banking people", otherwise people would have stopped watching the show.
Also, I love the theme song (Nathan Micay - Blue Springs).
