The fact that this was allowed out of pre-production is embarrassing for both HBO, the participants, and most notably the production company.
I am not one to often comment on IMDB posts, but I am happy to do so when I see something as horrible misrepresented as this show does.
There narrative is non-existent, trying to link the financial crises (mortgage underwriting), Madoff (fraud), with diversity an inclusion (?) as an analogy is comical.
There clearly is no understanding by the producers on the actual process of the settlement of securities, the process to short securities, or the legal exemptions the market makers have - to short without a locate.
All of this is legal.
Also, if you think the biggest problem the world has is short selling, despite the hype machine around VC and new IPOs, I don't know what to tell you.
The characters are also highly unsympathetic, including a guy who lives in his car play video games, and the other vast majority of Redditors who admit to knowing nothing about actual stock analyses and analogize everything to gambling.
Save your time and watch "The Big Short".
