Don Cheadle turning charm and smarm up to 100. Regina Hall in blue eyeshadow and big 80s hair. Tony-award winning Andrew Rannells adding another besuited straight-edger to his acting credits, along with The Book of Mormon’s Elder Price – at least at first. Black Monday, in this series, refers to 19 October 1987, still the single worst day for America’s stock market. Produced by Seth Rogen, this technicolour comedy purports to tell the story of who caused the crash that day and how. It’s a kind of cocaine-fulled narrative rollercoaster in which everyone is double-crossing everyone else and you’re never quite sure which character to root for – until you realise that the answer is none of them.
