The first episode of Black Monday was brilliant. Don Cheadle was hilarious electric as a shifty broker, Regina Hall was excellent as the smartest one on the show, Ken Marino had a hilarious turn as twins, and the rest of the cast is solid. The writing was sharp, funny, and edgy, and the episode moved like lightning and offered an ingenious twist.
The next couple of the episodes were less electrifying but seemed fine, but by the end of the third episode I realized I was feeling bored. I did one more episode, realized the the series had simply stopped being funny, and then gave up.
I wish the series had kept up its momentum. By the end the only thing I cared about - and even that not very much - is who's gonna wind up with that tie pin.
