Mo leads his team of misfit traders, including no-nonsense Dawn (Regina Hall, Girls Trip), eager-to-please Keith (SAG® Award winner Paul Scheer, The League), wild man Wayne (Horatio Sanz, Saturday Night Live), and hotshot Yassir (Yassir Lester, Making History). Into this motley mix walks Blair Pfaff (Tony® Award nominee and Grammy® winner Andrew Rannells, Girls), a young wide-eyed trader who gets in way over his head. Together, they take on the moneyed, blueblood, old-boys club of New York finance and end up unwittingly crashing a Lamborghini limousine, the glass ceiling and the world's largest financial system in this scathing comic commentary on 1980s excess.

View Details Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Black Monday Season 1 All Critics (45) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (20) "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. Nov 22, 2019 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic 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. Apr 4, 2019 | Full Review… Heather Schwedel Slate Top Critic 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. Feb 14, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic A show with an incredible ensemble of talented actors but as little focus as its cocaine-addled characters. Jan 16, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic Awash in red flags for a burgeoning series, as the lead character is a questionable, outdated pick and the premise begs for a quick resolution to the mystery being teased. But viewers could do a lot worse than invest in this likely crash. Jan 14, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Black Monday is silly, politically incorrect, loud, puerile and relies on lots of penis gags. Obviously I enjoyed it. May 30, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Carol Midgley Times (UK) Top Critic To be honest, all this gets old pretty fast. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review… Joe Weisenthal Bloomberg News Black Monday has an interesting topic, but it chose to tell it four different ways rather than focusing on one interesting way. Jan 25, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review… Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com Despite a great performance by Regina Hall and some decent jokes, Black Monday is a hollow series that has a loud, overwhelming focus on obnoxious greed. Jan 24, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Allison Keene Collider It lacks any compelling through-line as a drama or a comedy, which is not even to mention how this intellectual vacuum renders those pesky non-PC jokes pretty unfunny. Jan 22, 2019 | Full Review… Bridget Read Vogue When Black Monday stays in its comfort zone, it's something genuinely refreshing to see from a prestige provider. Jan 22, 2019 | Full Review… Alison Herman The Ringer It's fast. Hoo boy, is it fast. Jokes come non-stop from a bunch of angles. Jan 22, 2019 | Full Review… Brian Grubb Uproxx View All Critic Reviews (45) Audience Reviews for Black Monday: Season 1 Jul 25, 2020 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. Brandon D Jul 24, 2020 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. Kelsie M Jun 28, 2020 Great costumes and props in this show really portrays the 1980's. I was born in the 1970's so it was pretty accurate as far as props go. The script is not that funny however. I thought Don Cheadle's other show, House of Lies, was better. Dean S May 01, 2020 Hilarious. Quick whit. Fun. Love it. Joshua K Mar 06, 2020 Fast and witty with lots of cultural references spanning the superficial to the profound. And executed by a stellar cast (Regina Hall and Don Cheadle are smashing!) One of my all-time favourites. Rudolph W Aug 25, 2019 HILARIOUS. Took me back to a time before so many shows seemed politically correct.Regina Hall did an excellent job. Sam G Aug 10, 2019 Best new show of the year Joshua G Jul 21, 2019 The critics who panned this are CRAZY! This show is great! Hilarious and dusted with just enough drama to make the viewer care. The comedic acting is fantastic -- Cheadle has never been better -- and Regina Hall is a perfect foil for him. The 80s vibe only makes it more enjoyable. Can't wait for Season 2! John A Jul 12, 2019 Loved the first ep which also probably made it hard for the rest of the series to maintain that level, as my interest did wane throughout. Excellent soundtrack/score! Steve H Jun 29, 2019 The montage at the end is one of the best TV moments I've experienced. Shawn G.
