    When success is more important than facts...

    We all know the story of Elizabeth Holmes, but this series details with great interest the ambitious drive that drove her to be a self-made billionaire, and stay on top at all costs. It is this passion that Holmes oozes that enticed me to watch in wonderment on how she pulled it off.

    This all works thanks to the writers in succeeding by making Holmes a fascinating character with all her quirks and downfalls. Most importantly is Seyfried's performance as Holmes, where sometimes I kept thinking that Elizabeth Holmes was playing herself!

    Looking forward to seeing how far this series delves into the mindset of someone whose dreams are shattered, and the destructiveness nature in which they will do anything to survive in the high tech corporate jungle.
