'Black Monday' Season 2 Episode 3 goes from 'Narcos' to 'Ozark' to more in a very bloody 30-minute span
The episode, despite being just the third one of the season, has a kind of finality to it. Intense violence, loose ends tied, a bit of sentimentality, and Mo looking like he was finally at peace
Showtime’s ‘Black Monday’ is always on point with its dark humor. But Episode 3 of the second season, ‘Idiot Inside’, takes it to a whole other level — a decidedly bloody level.
The episode starts with Mo (Don Cheadle) helping Keith (Paul Scheer) out with his cartel troubles. In Episode 2, Keith, who was now a cocaine dealer in Miami, lost a million dollars worth of the white powder to the sea. Obviously, he now owed the Colombian cartel boss in Miami a million dollars, which he did not have. Mo had then promised to help him.
How a show about the historical Wall Street crash turned into a ‘Narcos’ episode is unclear, but it is safe to say this was definitely a good thing. But it did not remain a ‘Narcos’ episode for long. As Mo pays the cartel bosses the $800,000 he got from Dawn (Regina Hall) in return for his shares in the Jammer group, things go topsy turvy.
When the bosses realized that the money was $200,00 short, they ordered the henchmen to kill Mo and Keith. Before they could do that, however, the episode turned from ‘Narcos’ to yet another Netflix crime drama. Mo, in a very Marty Byrde-caught-in-a-bad-situation manner, begins to explain to the bosses how he could earn them more money by laundering their money better. In true ‘Ozark’ fashion, of course, Mo promised more than he could chew.
As the chaos ensued, ‘Ozark’ turned into something altogether unexpected. In what can only be compared to the very slow-motion ‘Deadpool’ violent scene in the opening credits of the film, ‘Black Monday’ sees a massacre. And it was masterful. People died in that once long scene in the most spectacular manner.
Ultimately, both Mo and Keith get out unscathed, but Mo backstabs Keith because the latter had backstabbed him in the Jammer group, and leaves with his money.
The episode, despite being just the third one of the season, had a kind of finality to it. Intense violence, loose ends tied, a bit of sentimentality, and Mo looking like he was finally at peace. Lord only knows what ‘Black Monday’ intends to pull off in the episodes to come because it would be very difficult to top this.
‘Black Monday’ airs Sundays on Showtime at 10 pm ET.
