Right now you can watch Black Monday in the US on Netflix — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The 3-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 90 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Don Cheadle sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Netflix whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Black Monday earns its spot. Black Monday gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. 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. The chemistry Don Cheadle and Andrew Rannells bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Across 3 seasons (2019–2021), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Black Monday holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Black Monday is a strong candidate. Viewers who responded to Snatch will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Don Cheadle anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Black Monday was cancelled in 2021, created by David Caspe and Jordan Cahan — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
