On a Lighter Note: TV's Best and Worst Wigs of the Past Decade

On a Lighter Note: TV's Best and Worst Wigs of the Past Decade
“Hair is everything,” Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag once famously declared, and we agree. Even fake hair, as it turns out.

‘Black Monday’ Season 2 Review: Don Cheadle’s Manic Performance Keeps This Muddled Series Afloat

‘Black Monday’ Season 2 Review: Don Cheadle’s Manic Performance Keeps This Muddled Series Afloat
Like the stock market in recent weeks, “Black Monday” is volatile, but its principal value is a bullish performance from lead Don Cheadle as Maurice “Mo” Monroe, head of second-tier Wall Street trading firm, The Jammer Group, in the year of Black Monday, when international stock markets crashed in 1987. Mo is a fun character to play. He’s ruthless, sardonic, and all id, and there’s a mystery, in that audiences aren’t told much about how he came to be who he is. Still, he’s engaging, if only to see what disreputable thing he might do next. And he’s ultimately the spark that keeps this somewhat muddled series from straying entirely.

Season 1 of the series followed Mo and his team of misfit traders, including no-nonsense Dawn (Regina Hall), eager-to-please Keith (Paul Scheer), wild man Wayne (Horatio Sanz), and hotshot Yassir (Yassir Lester). Into this motley mix walks
