Economy Watch is a 2021 web series created by David Johnson, in which a fictionalized version of himself discusses economics and monetary trends in a comedic manner. He is joined frequently by Isaac Johnson (Dayan Hatchwell), Dennis Smith (Nico Davis), Jimmy Garcia (Jaime Abarca), Frederick Jones (Keith Johnson), Pepita Jones (Rocio Millan Johnson) and Matthew Stratton (Nathan Booth). Delia Millan serves as the show's cinematographer and plays additional unnamed roles, such as a store employee or a doctor. The posters were designed by Nico Davis and the theme music by Send Notes. The series is produced by Johnson's production company, Circumference Films.David developed the series in the summer of 2021, as he was always fascinated with video production and filmmaking, along with economics, and he felt as though there was a lack of channels, shows and videos that discuss the economy in a humorous manner, as opposed to something like gaming or other media. In August, the show premiered. Season 1 ran from August 1, 2021 to December 24, 2021 with 14 episodes, Season 2 ran from July 4, 2022 to December 25, 2022, with 10 episodes, and Season 3 began on January 8, 2023, running until that Christmas.The series was intended to be his ultimate passion project - a collaboration between artists, writers, programmers, filmmakers, friends and family all focused on the economy. He has openly mentioned in the past that he would be interested in having other people take over for him if he were to retire or die.Episodes | |

Aborted Arc: The homeless/lawsuit arc in Season 2, which was meant to conclude with a big trial episode for the season finale, but the idea was scrapped and replaced with a traditional Christmas special, taking place after David won the trial. The creator has jokingly said that the reason the trial episode was scrapped was because recording trials is illegal. | |

| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_26764512 | comment |
I Just Want to Have Friends: As the series goes on, it's increasingly obvious that David has little friends. He even mentions directly in Episode 24, "It's An Economic Snowfall", that his obsession with the economy has prevented him from connecting with people or making friends, leading him to rant about it with Frederick. | |

Halloween Episode: Episodes 11, 19 and 30 are Halloween episodes - "Night of The Economic Dead", "Cryptic Cryptos" and "Stock Stabber". All three episodes parody common horror movie tropes, with "Night of The Economic Dead" parodying zombie movies, "Cryptic Cryptos" parodying werewolf folklore and old horror movies and "Stock Stabber" parodying the slasher genre. | |

Story Arc | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_42008602 | comment |
Story Arc: Season 2 featured an arc that lasted pretty much the whole season. In Episode 17, "Rent Inflation", David is evicted from his apartment and joins a camp for homeless people, where he finds a lawyer named Matthew Stratton. Matthew and David plot a lawsuit against his landlord, but Matthew tells him that it will take some time. In Episode 18, "Spanish Pesetas", David attempts to move to Spain due to rent being cheaper there than in other countries. In Episode 19, "Cryptic Cryptos", Isaac invites David over to his house in Michigan before the werewolf apocalypse happens. In Episode 20, "American Dollars", David flies from Michigan to New Jersey and swims to Washington, D.C. to meet up with a client that Matthew wanted David to talk to. Unfortunately, he forgets about the client and discusses American dollars instead. In Episode 21, "A Wall Street Thanksgiving", David eats turkey at a restaurant and makes a joke about his homeless status. In Episode 22, "CAKE", David spends his birthday alone at a restaurant, mentioning that he has trial duty soon. In Episode 23, "The Economics of Football", David visits the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid. This is the final episode before the trial, which is done off-screen. In Episode 24, "It's An Economic Snowfall", David is revealed to have his apartment back. | |

Allegory | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_471c46f8 | comment |
Allegory: Several allegories are present throughout the series. The economy, for example, represents a variety of concepts - it represents the balance and structure of the universe, and David feels as though it's his responsibility to study and watch it. David's obsession with the economy can be seen as a metaphor for obsession with religion and the belief of a higher power, which causes him to question his existence in "It's An Economic Snowfall". His obsession with it could also be seen as a metaphor for depression and the need to find purpose in life. | |

Genre Roulette | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: Some episodes parody genres and the tropes found in those genres. "Night of the Economic Dead" was a parody of zombie movies, "Cryptic Cryptos" was a parody of low-budget horror and werewolf stories, "Chinese Yuan" parodied elements of Chinese and 70s kung-fu movies, and the Christmas specials are parodies of typical Christmas specials. David has said he wants to do more of these genre parodies. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: Several examples seen throughout the series. Episode 11, "Night Of The Economic Dead", was inspired by a zombie charity run that David did at the time. Episode 14, "A Very Hoarder Christmas", focuses on David losing his desk. This is because David was switching desks at the time, and it was written into the special. Episode 17, "Rent Inflation", has David visit a campsite in the mountains. This is because David actually did visit a campsite at the time of filming, along with Matthew Stratton's actor, for reasons unrelated to the show. Episode 20, "American Dollars", was written as David was visiting Washington D.C. and wanted to do a themed episode. | |

Production Foreshadowing: David's feature directorial debut, Frontiers Border, was referenced on a receipt in Season 3, Episode 2: Credit Cards. David was always fascinated with this trope. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: The series does follow a strict structure with arcs, but, from a certain perspective, the series can be seen as a sequence of plots and events strung together. In Season 1, David becomes Communist, reverts back to Capitalism, dies, comes back to life as a zombie, goes through house arrest, dies again, and comes back to life. | |

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_bd2812b5 | comment |
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Even though David has canonically died twice, we've only seen his ascension to the Afterlife once in "A Very Hoarder Christmas", which displays the Afterlife as a festive and winter wonderland. This is because the Afterlife took a form that David's brain and soul could understand, so they went with a Christmas theme. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The trial in Season 2 is done entirely off-screen, despite being hyped up for the entire season. This is because it is illegal to record trials. | |

Cliffhanger | |
| Economy Watch (Web Video) / int_c6b8d37a | comment |
Cliffhanger: Used infrequently throughout the series, most notably, in "The Lottery", in which David is threatened by a company to take part in a lottery or else he'll die. He doesn't do it in time, and thus dies at his desk, segueing into the 2021 Halloween special. | |

Loan Shark: This trope is used in an interesting manner in the show. A Season 3 episode is a parody of shark movies such as Jaws or Sharknado, and the main subject is about loan sharks, thus making it pretty meta! | |
