WE’RE all obsessed with true crime stories, so this latest show is bound to be the next TV addiction.
Amanda Seyfried is captivating as Elizabeth Holmes, the genius inventor who was catapulted to success before a Shakespearean fall into disrepute.
An incredible real story, she was an optimistic and determined young woman who went from hero to zero in the blink of an eye.
The drama, previously on Disney+, shows Elizabeth as a clever and ambitious child, who knew from a young age that she wanted to be a billionaire.
She went on to drop out of the elite Stanford University to found a promising new blood testing startup, and she indeed went on to become the world’s youngest self-made female billionaire.
But Elizabeth’s company Theranos, valued at its peak at £9billion, came crumbling down.
Her reputation was left in tatters and she was forced to face convictions of criminal fraud. From unbelievable fame and success, to devastation, how did it all go so terribly wrong?
This starts with Elizabeth giving testimony during her trial, then flashes back to her early life, charting how Theranos came to be.
She knows that she just needs a brilliant idea and then she can start her company… and when the idea for testing from a single drop of blood comes to her, she just wants to get on with it.
But convincing her parents that it’s a good idea to drop out of university, just like other billionaires such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, will prove tricky.
