The Dropout Reviews

i thoroughly fucked up my sleep schedule bc jack and i binged this in 3 days… honestly appalling that this was based off of a true story but amanda seyfried’s acting was SUPERB. if you enjoyed inventing anna/the social network, you’d love this.

Amanda gave an exceptional performance and you almost feel sorry for the real character on whom she is based “Elizabeth Holmes”. ALMOST

This show does a great job of showing the deception and greed that was required to keep a disgusting company like Theranos running for so long

Watched the other doc, read bad blood and still couldn’t get enough of this and the Theranos story. Amanda seyfried was great.

We talk about this girl in like all my business classes

I'm not sure if the title 'The Dropout' represents Holmes or me because I was near dropping out of the show myself. Accuracy-wise, I think it does a fairly good job. Seyfried is excellent, and the story tells you most of what you need to know. Unfortunately, as an entertainment piece, it lacks engagement. It's predictable and generic, and the pacing is all over the place. The beginning drags, and the ending feels rushed. The soundtrack is off-putting, and the dialogue feels cheap. As for Holmes herself, I don't really have much to say. It's just a shame the elites she brushed shoulders with at Silicon Valley get away with what a woman can't.

Yeah, no.

the story itself is interesting but this series is kind of a long burner. I got bored, thus didn’t finish.

boo poopoo

Probably could’ve been an episode or two shorter but this was awesome. Great acting (the guy who played sunny was amazing) and a wild story.

i’m all for getting that money but she is so annoying it’s unbearable, like thx for ruining women

White women cries

Watched it in preparation for You Can See Everything. Amanda Seyfried acted THE FUCK out of Elizabeth Holmes. The voice, the stare, the articulation ALL PERFECT. Spectacular job. Lots of good actors and it gave me a new light to the situation. CANT WAIT for YCSE!! 8/10

i’m

The ending felt abrupt and too quick, could’ve maybe done one more episode

crazy watching this after having already seen you can see everything. it’s almost unbelievable that this went on for as long as it did

Really, really good. Amanda Seyfried should be celebrated for this performance. And man, you should really watch this before seeing the new movie

Like it’s not that good objectively but it makes everything crazier.

7.5/10
Worth watching for Amanda Seyfried’s performance alone. She definitely deserved that Emmy. I can’t wait for You Can See Everything

Intriguing. It is such a crazy story!

I really enjoyed this show, it definetly took a more biased approach but because of that it was more entertaining and captivating. Amanda Seyfried and Ebon Moss Bacharach were great. It paints a good picture of what happened at Theranos and the motivations behind it. Overall a solid 8/10
