Regina Hall and Don Cheadle parody 1980s Wall Street in “Black Monday” on Showtime. And “High Maintenance” returns for a third season on HBO. Following in the footsteps of shows like “Seinfeld” and “Mulaney,” this big-hearted comedy series features the stand-up comic Pete Holmes playing a version of himself. When the series picked up, Holmes’s character was spat out of a crumbling marriage and into the New York comedy scene. “While I love ‘Louie,’ and ‘Seinfeld,’ those are about successful comedians,” Holmes told The New York Times in 2017.
