T10 WHATS UP! January 20 - 26, 2019 about the role of the stock market, the inextricable link the average citizen has to its ups and downs, and the follies of the practitioners within that system. A show about risk-takers who can easily endanger mas- sive sections of society at large if their greed or gam- bling goes too far is a risk in and of itself. But "Black Mon- day" appears to be a vicious send-up of those callous Wall Street speculators, and televi- sion viewers in 2019 are primed to be especially recep- tive to a cinematic lambasting of the stereotypical short- sighted, greedy businessman playing perilous games with other people's money. All told, "Black Monday" seems to have the right com- bination of timeliness, style, acting and production value to emerge as an early hit in 2019. Whether you're in it for a history lesson, the laughs, or just a chance to bask in the bygone excesses of the 1980s, this series is most definitely worth a watch. Tune in to see every- thing come crashing down when "Black Monday" pre- mieres Sunday, Jan. 20, on Showtime.
