What’s This TV Show About?
A Showtime historical comedy full of 1980s excess, Black Monday stars Don Cheadle, Regina Hall, Paul Scheer, Horatio Sanz, Yassir Lester, Andrew Rannells. Centering on the stock market crash of October 19, 1987, the action unfolds at the Jammer Group, a shabby little firm lead by Maurice “Mo” Monroe (Cheadle). Mo’s team of traders includes the practical, no-nonsense Dawn (Hall), the compliant Keith (Scheer), Wayne (Sanz) the wild man, and Yassir (Lester), who is not lacking in self-confidence, and into this lion’s den walks the new kid on the block — Blair Pfaff (Rannells). Guest stars in the first season include: Casey Wilson, Kurt Braunholer, Ken Marino, Eugene Cordero, Bruce Dern, Melissa Rauch, Kadeem Hardison, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Tim Russ, Julie Hagerty, Phil Reeves, and Jason Michael Snow.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Black Monday TV show has been renewed for season two? How would you feel if Showtime had cancelled this TV series, instead?
It is indeed a great show and yes it was intended to be a mini-series, but many shows have planned on being a single season and ended up expanding into multiple seasons. Black Monday could bring in some new characters, expand on the 80’s wall street vibe post crash and really give it a unique perspective. What people do at there lowest is usually the funniest. Many movies have been made about Wall Street but not many shows. Give it another season!

THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWTIME SERIES…I JUST CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION..WILL RENEW WHEN BLACK MONDAY SEASON 2 AIRS….
Not a very good show. Loved the Don Cheadle character but the rest of the cast was mediocre
It’s a really good program if you haven’t seen it watch it.
Absolutely awesome show. TV needs more shows like this. I dont think they were originally planning on the show spanning multiple seasons but they definately should, it could easily be done. It’s a must watch.
If you have comcast on demand you can watch the new episodes sunday morning instead of waiting. Amazing show but now that I watched the finale I cannot really see where they could do another. I hope i’m wrong but it pretty much gets wrapped up with not a lot of room to continue.
I agree. It was more like a mini-series. I imagine the writers could come up with a season 2 if they wanted to. Like what happens after Black Monday to the characters. Overall it was an entertaining show but not great. House Of Lies is a better Don Cheadle series in my opinion and I like the characters better.
