i suggested it in jest because your original request sounded like something a marketing executive would formulate if they were brainstorming an idea for a television show. i almost wanted to ask you what you wanted it for as it didn't seem like you just wanted to watch it.Again, I'm grateful for Neverdie's suggestion of The Wire. I read the synopsis to identify how the show is linked to finances, and my findings were drug dealers and the police. I imagine Neverdie's line of thinking was the hustling aspect of drug dealing would meet the criteria I was asking for. That's why I thanked him, as I appreciate the thought process to make that connection. But wasn't quite what I was looking for. I was thinking a line of work that one could have on their resume. That's not to say The Wire isn't a brilliant show in its own right, I'm sure it is, its widely considered to be one of the greatest shows ever. I was after a very specific kind of show. My apologies for the offence I've caused.
but also because it does meet your requirements inasmuch as finance goes. the wire, over all seasons, demonstrates an intricate financial web between the legitimate and illegitimate economies. its scope is very good.
not strictly what you're looking for but you won't find a better tv show.
this.If you want to see the negative side of sales, watch Glengarry Glen Ross. Not a series, a movie based on a Mamet play.
also american psycho and wolf of wallstreet plus all films within that orbit sort of meet the description except they're films too.
i'd suggest dopesick. has the financial side of the 9-5 execs as well as true corruption scandal plus dramatic depth.
