Investors and traders who dread the weekend because the U.S. stock market is closed could find some satisfaction in catching up on the following movies and TV shows available on Netflix, Inc. NFLX.

1. 'White Collar'

This TV show follows an unfortunate recurring theme on Wall Street, white collar crime. The series focuses on a white collar criminal who agrees to help the FBI investigate and track other white collar criminals using his own expert experience.

Yes, the ultra-popular comedy has nothing to do with Wall Street per se, but the fictional company portrayed in the series, Dunder Mifflin, is a publicly traded NYSE-listed stock. Check out episode 11 of the sixth season when the lead character Michael Scott travels to New York City to speak at the company's annual general meeting.
