Travel back to October 19, 1987-aka Black Monday, the worst stock market crash in the history of Wall Street. To this day, no one knows who caused it - until now. 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 and the glass ceiling. The outrageous comedy series stars Don Cheadle, Andrew Rannells and Regina Hall.

I'll keep it simple. I expected wild 80s wallstreet characters , But I didn't expect the heart behind it and the slick move being played in the first ep . I really liked ir

Just watched the pilot and thought it was great, I'm really not getting why it has so many negative reviews. I also loved I'm Dying Up Here which was cancelled after 2 seasons so I'm guessing this will go the same way.

Don Cheadle is amazing in it, the story was great, the characters were funny and well written. It isn't laugh out loud funny but that isn't what I want from this kind of show.

It isn't a stand up set where each 'bit' has to land. It also isn't The Big Bang Theory with their one liners and canned laughter. It is a good show and given Seth Rogen and Evan Goldbergs involvement in Preacher and Future Man, I have high hopes for this.

Awesome editing, music, acting, and story. Don Cheadle is back!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the story is even more interesting than House of Lies, because it's about history.

The only thing funny about this is that it's listed as a comedy in the first place. I cringed the whole way through. Awful.

Just flat out entertainment at it's best. The pilot pulled me right in and was hooked before it was over. Has the 80's feel with Rogan & Goldberg at the helm and then the star of the show, Don Cheadle plays the perfect role as the pimpin wall street playboy, with Regina Hall trying to keep him in check. They compliment each other with great chemistry. Looking forward for the rest of the series.

If Wolf of Wall Street had a tv show it would be just like this !!!! Except it's Don Cheadle and he's exceptional this show also reminds me of House of lies to some degree. I wish it were an hour long and that's the mark of a good show! Kudos showtime!!!

From the moment the 1984-1997 Showtime logo begins, i got sucked into this 36 minute pilot, which made its world debut on its Youtube channel late last month before making its pay tv debut on cable tv. Set days before the infamous Black Monday crash of 1987 in which the stock market suffered double digit percentage losses (the Dow fell a record 500 points) due to computer failure, this comedy/drama captures the zeitgeist of yuppie culture that still kinda resonates today with our era. Don Cheadle is amazing and should win a golden globe and an emmy for his performance. This show also is made well done by Point Grey, known mostly for off the wall mature movies that are tongue in cheek fun. I already set my DVR so i can watch it every week.

I cannot think of any Wall Street themed movie or show prior to this that I would not have given a huge thumbs up to. I actually could not finish the first episode. It was so over the top and not in the least bit funny. I think it is trying to set a Wolf of Wall Street sort of tone. It fails so miserably. I am a big fan of all the talent involved in this show, but this debacle is not something any of them should keep on their resume.

I'm struggling to comprehend why people are not liking this or they just find it so so.

First episode I was hooked it is Wolf of Wall Street on crack. Yes it's over the top. But it's exactly what I need a break from the mundane crap that is showering my telly screen at the moment

This is labeled a comedy. Problem is, it isn't funny. The ending of the first episode was fairly interesting but certainly not enough to get me to watch another episode.

Black Monday's pilot has the influential soul of Trading Places merged with the undeniable style of Wolf of Wall Street and the intensely beating heart of Ray Donovan. Dashed with the blissful nature of Lodge 49. This "algorithm" is nothing short of perfection!

If you loved Marty Kaan you're gonna love Maurice Monroe. Nuff said.

I started in that business in 1984 or right in the middle of that era. This takes all items of that era OTT or over the top with exaggeration 'n buffoonery that is meant to be humor. I enjoyed Don Cheadle in "House of Lies" and the went on for like 6 seasons. This falls on it's face and will fail. This is a total waste of time to view. There are much better shows to spend any time watching, even basic broadcast is better than this.

I have been waiting and waiting for more episodes. I don't want to wait the entire season. This show is an in-your-face fast-paced roller coaster ride of a good time. You never know what is going to happen next. Don Cheadle and Regina Hall are killing it so far and I can't wait to see what's going to happen with the algorithm. Showtime stop screwing around and give us weekly shows!

I love the show...no doubt, but it feels too similar to House of Lies. There is love interest in Regina Hall who has a stable boyfriend (reminding me of Kristen Bell in the first season with the same). There is also his team and their the constant swearing and somewhat outrageous behaviour. Both instances, Mo (or Marty as he was called in House of Lies) sit at the top of firms involved in the Capital/Financial market.

The striking similarities is the sole drawback I have with the show, making it feel like I have seen the scenes before. Other that that, it is ok.

I was going to say, worst Wall Street show ever. But, that would've given it too much credit.

I noticed all the bad reviews were from people who only watched one episode or maybe just don't have a sense of humour. The characters are great including Kyle the robot. The casting is amazing, Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg bring their usual brand of humour & Don Cheadle was a perfect pick for the star of the show. The only concern I have is, can they pull off another season with the countdown already started? I hope so!

I'm a man who will watch anything with Don Cheadle in it, and this little gem is a hit. Some of the comedy falls flat at times, but the performances that make up for it.

I feel sorry for anyone who cannot relate to the humour in this show. The script and writing is quick witted and intelligent. So many one liners, that come in waves, you'll be rewinding often to ensure you hear them all! Very clever and entertaining. Not for snowflakes who get offended easily.

There were plenty of poisonous players in the 80's, but oddly for a comedy they have missed the humour. Jokes in this pastiche of cliche are aimed at people used to a laugh track, they are signposted and lazy. Some of the trading stuff is close to what might have happened but not much of it. If Mo was such a killer trader why did he panic in episode 2 and not double down on the position to squeeze the shorts? Starve them of the repo and push the stock well higher. Shame the writer is skipping the good stories for the ones they have decided people might snap up.

The first episode of this show had me thinking this could end up being an almost worthy follow up to Eastbound and Down. It was over the top funny, Don Cheadle's character seemed to have a lot of promise, the plotting was inventive, and there were some hilariously inventive little jokes (Lehman Brothers being just two actual twin brothers killed me).

But now I've watched episodes two, three, and four, and I think I'm done. I don't know what the show wants to be. It's dropped almost all the comedy in favor of drama, but the characters are all basically ridiculous and unrealistic, so having them try to do a drama doesn't work at all. Most of the acting aside from Don Cheadle is mediocre to bad. The limited, scattered attempts at humor after the initial episode almost all fall flat. None of the side players at the firm are funny at all, and they are not good enough actors to pull off drama. And they're not giving Don Cheadle much to work with either with comedy or drama. The pilot showed the basis for him to be a Kenny Powers sort of mix of comedy and pathos, but the writing has completely fallen flat in delivering on that.

Stereotyping women & dumb white people make u laugh? In 2019 people no longer feel the need to laugh at gender or skin color.

Why isn't this show more recognized by the general public. It's freaking hilarious. And as I can tell, it gets better by the episode.

People need to stop regurgitating the 80s. It was a terrible time, everything sucked, everything looked idiotic. The only people who like it are those that were too drugged up or drunk to realize how terrible it was, or those that never had to live through it.
