"Black Monday" chronicles the 31st anniversary of the worst stock market crash in the history of Wall Street. To this day, no one knows exactly who caused the Oct. 19, 1987, stock market crash -- until now. Join some outsiders as they take on the blue-blood club of Wall Street. Join them as they cause the crashing of the world's largest financial system, a Lamborghini limousine, the glass ceiling, and Don Henley's birthday party.

Critics Consensus

Black Monday zips with irrepressible style and a seductively stacked cast of charismatics stars - but this Wall Street odyssey is too preoccupied with flash to ferment its needed substance.

"Black Monday" gives us lots of great moments with other characters from Mo's firm, too - for example, Regina Hall's Dawn Darcy, who's Mo's only female executive.

Black Monday is silly, politically incorrect, loud, puerile and relies on lots of penis gags. Obviously I enjoyed it.

Rated: 4/5

When you've got a cast like Black Monday's and dialogue like Black Monday's and costumes like Black Monday's, you should be able to forgive a story that isn't quite as remarkable as it might think.

To be honest, all this gets old pretty fast.

As an actor, Cheadle obviously enjoys this sort of ride. From House of Lies to Black Monday requires little more than a change of wardrobe. The characters of Marty Kaan and Mo Monroe otherwise are cut from the same cloth.

Rated: C+

Black Monday has an interesting topic, but it chose to tell it four different ways rather than focusing on one interesting way.

Rated: 1.5/4

El cast es bueno pero la química entre los personaje no lo es, los chistes son muy forzados e innecesariamente obscenos, abuso del humor negro que no divierte, el giro del final es interesante porque logra sorprender.

I didn't watch any trailers or read about the show, expected a boring but also interesting documentary or something of the sort. This show is comedy gold though and I watched the entire first season in two days.

I think this is about as great as a show can get. It's FUNNY, it's super original, it's smart, it's cheeky, it's DIVERSE, the set design is amazing and it's easy to watch. Probably not a great fit for the overly conservative or those with a mediocre sense of humor but for my husband and I this is everything a TV show should aspire to be. The cast is amazing too. I never feel compelled to write reviews but for the right audience, this is incredible.
