T2 WHATS UP! January 20 - 26, 2019 We have the big suits, the big hair, lycra bodysuits, aero- bics routines, cassette tapes, Walkmans, Lamborghinis, clouds of cocaine and indoor ashtrays — all staged in a rich- ly realized vision of 1980s New York, before it was diligently scrubbed, sanitized and gen- trified in order to play better to tourists in the 1990s. The trailer glories in its period piece trappings, and the show is absolutely worth checking out for the look and feel alone. That said, there is a lot to be said for the other aspects of the series as well. As men- tioned, the cast is, like, radical, man. Cheadle has been one of Hollywood's most consistent- ly excellent performers for a long time now, turning in seemingly effortless, deep and nuanced performances no matter what kind of script he's handed. His main support comes from Hall and Rannells, both of whom have capable, under- stated comedic chops and are clearly solid choices to thrive inside the show's preposter- ously comic outlook. Wilson is a recurring guest star, and she steals scene after scene with her hilarious, doe-eyed inten- sity. "Black Monday" also fea- tures a seriously impressive roster of supporting players and guest stars, including Paul Scheer ("The League"), Melis- sa Rauch ("The Big Bang The- ory"), Bruce Dern ("The Hate- ful Eight," 2015), Ken Marino ("Party Down") and Horatio Sanz ("Saturday Night Live"), all of whom are capable of do- ing a lot with a little, and turn- ing in memorable performanc- es with characters who may not see a lot of screen time. The past work of Rogen and Goldberg has shown that they have more than a little interest in offering social commentary, even if it comes filtered through a layer of loud and lu- dicrous comedy. "Black Mon- day" promises to hold true to that trend. Most of the show's audience is likely to have rela- tively fresh memories of 2008's financial crisis and sub- sequent recession, and proba- bly have their own opinions Don Cheadle and Andrew Rannells star in "Black Monday" continued on page T10 TV FEATURE A/Health Initiatives 2 x 5 Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease?
