Black Monday
Created by David Caspe, Jordan Cahan
On Showtime
A frenetic, cocaine-fueled comedy about ambitious outsiders dismantling Wall Street's establishment in the excess-soaked 1980s, balancing satirical energy with genuine character stakes.
Travel back to October 19, 1987 – aka Black Monday, the worst stock market crash in Wall Street history – this is the story of how a group of outsiders took on the blue-blood, old-boys club of Wall Street and ended up crashing the world’s largest financial system, a Lamborghini limousine, Don Henley's birthday party and the glass ceiling.
