Good series and I really liked how managers try to put us as employees to a heart for the cause. I am also very curious about the pronunciation for this lady.

I also thought it was a very good setting of the film how they portrayed her. Took a while to get used to how Amanda played her, I think it's hard to imitate anyway. Very nice series and especially if you also delve into the course of how Theranos came into being and went down again.

Interesting, though. I didn't know the whole company, the person, or the story, so I was approaching it with a blank slate. I also wondered if it would captivate me enough. It certainly does. It's a case of "How could this happen?" and because it's based on a true story—and you can only assume it's portrayed accurately—that adds to the impact and bewilderment. And it somewhat suppresses the feeling of plot holes.

The acting is decent. The main character is such an unbearable person that it occasionally irritated me so much that I wondered if I even wanted to continue watching: whether that's good acting or overacting, I don't know. It's nice to see familiar faces like Macy, Fry, and especially Smith (as a That '70s Show fan). Fry, in particular, takes on an incredibly lovable role and is probably the character you connect with most. Partly because of Elizabeth's character, the series lacks much emotion or atmosphere, relying entirely on the story's progression. And that's engaging enough, although a lot of it still remains in the "incomprehensible, how?" corner that could have used more explanation, but that also fits the bewildering nature of the whole thing.
