If you are interested in drama series, I have quite the show for you to watch. “The Dropout” is a mini-series available on Hulu that tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos. Theranos was a health technology started by Holmes when she was just 19 and a fresh dropout from Stanford University.
The whole company, including Holmes, was found guilty of fraud in 2018 due to the fact they were basically faking everything and lying to huge corporations, such as Walgreens. I won’t be the one to spoil everything for you, but this show has twists and turns around every corner.
I personally had no idea that this even happened, yet it was affecting so many people who were using this company to monitor their health and getting (mostly altered, fake) test results for serious diseases. It was a serious situation in America that some people did not even know about, including me, until the production of this series.
It is interesting and educational, yet won’t bore you to death when you hear medical terms being thrown around every episode. There are already seven episodes out on Hulu, so if you are into binge-watching, the show is starting to come to a climax.
