THE DROPOUT

INSIDE A FRAUD

BEST REAL-LIFE SCANDAL

The story of

Theranos, the American blood-testing company that promised a technological revolution but was founded on lies, is a fascinating one. And the character of its founder, the now convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, is the key to that story. Based on a 2019 podcast of the same name, the strength of the TV adaptation is Amanda Seyfried’s compelling performance as Holmes, a woman who swindled investors out of millions.
