Hulu Originals Series The Dropout was a interesting Series to watch I like how the show started by giving us a look at how Elizabeth Holmes life was before her journey to become the creator of Theranos. Amanda Seyfried was really good and you can tell she tried really hard to be just like Elizabeth from the way she looks, talks and the emotions she show was really good. The relationships between Elizabeth and her parents was not good her mother always try to make Elizabeth be a overachiever and her farther was working hard too give them a good life, but he lost his job and was able to find a way to continue too keep everything going for all of them. But her farther wanted her to be successful and that was a lot of pressure on Elizabeth and in one of the episodes she went to the hospital too check on her farther to see if he was alright and he told her she shouldn't have come and keep on working and really had an effect on her mental.
When Elizabeth was in College she is having a hard time fitting in so one night she decides to go out too a party so she can have some fun and make some friends but she end up getting raped by a student and some people didn't believe her. Elizabeth was dealing with depression and after having a talk with her parents about her future that when she made the choice to drop out of college and start her own company. The interaction between Elizabeth and Sunny Balwani was weird and not good he was older than Elizabeth and was married at the time they meet in Beijing. Sunny did like Elizabeth but he knew he can only be friends with Elizabeth and help her try too make her dreams come true. But when she started Theranos they were dating and you can tell that Sunny was being controlling and he was abusive to her.
This series had a really good Cast and I like how they focus on some of the characters who was working with Elizabeth, Stephen Fry was really good playing as Ian Gibbons the way he died is so sad and I wish that Utkarsh Ambudkar and James Hiroyuki Liao characters was use more in all of the episodes. Dylan Minnette and Camryn Mi-Young Kim was good I like Camryn character more than Dylan and the story between The Shultz was okay, I feel bad for George Shultz but he was a former secretary of state and use to work for Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon. Now I can see how Elizabeth was able to get George too become a board member for her company but I still don't understand how he did not see through her lies.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach and LisaGay Hamilton was good in this series some of there moments was funny and Kurtwood Smith being David Boies was good too. Bashir Salahuddin had some funny moments in the show too and I laugh at how Elizabeth and Sunny was able to get Walgreens too invest in Theranos. The 3 board members of Walgreens shuold have walk away when Elizabeth and Sunny was not telling them the truth.
I would recommend to watch this series if you have the time and I like that it had 8 Episodes. I will give this series a 7/10
