There were people in Wall Street who saw the global financial crisis coming and dove in.

The Wolf of Wall Street was inspired by former stockbroker Jordan Belfort (adapted from his memoir of the same name), who reacted to the film by suing the financiers and requesting $300m in compensation. In this film, Martin Scorsese – a director celebrated for making great gangster movies – turned his focus to Wall Street, applying the same kind of “rise and fall” narrative structure as his films about the Mafia. 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. Produced by Seth Rogen, this technicolour comedy purports to tell the story of who caused the crash that day and how. Black Monday, in this series, refers to 19 October 1987, still the single worst day for America’s stock market.
