About
"Ambition curdling into elaborate, dangerous self-deception"
This limited series tells the true story of Elizabeth Holmes, the young entrepreneur who built Theranos into a multibillion-dollar company on the promise of revolutionary blood-testing technology that never actually worked. It traces her rise from an awkward, ambitious Stanford dropout to a Silicon Valley icon, and the elaborate deceptions that kept investors and patients believing. The tone mixes dark comedy with real unease, anchored by a transformative lead performance. It moves briskly through years of escalating fraud, feeling more like a character study than a thriller, and stays absorbing even when you know how it ends.
