    the writing is sloppy and Amanda seyfred is kinda good kinda overacting.
    overall first two episodes are only interesting because the real woman's story is, but the screenwriters definitely need to get their own style and stop copying other shows

    Absolutely fantastic, Bad Blood has been my favourite for a long time and I am really happy with the pacing, actors and the story

    This is very well done, looking at how all this came about. She built up hope and it all comes crashing down around her. Can't wait to finish the season.

    Totally engrossing. Couln't wait for the next episode. It exposes perfectly the madness that has befallen America and how cynically playing the "feminist card" can keep you in business when you shouldn't be.
    No wonder disingenuous "professional" female critics hate the show....

    Compelling. ... Amanda Seyfried humanizes this enigmatic faux visionary by capturing her eerie intensity and drive. [14 - 27 Mar 2022, p.6]

    Seyfried did a good job of conveying the complex hubris of Holmes, who, while flouting the rules, did enough to be credible and show how her charisma convinced lots of rich people. ... The drama's tactics were less nuanced.

    You get a sense of who Holmes was, what drove her ambition and, ultimately, the desperation behind her foolish delusion that she had to stay the course, even as things careened out of control. Yet the series never lionizes her or glorifies her actions—tempting given the scale and implausibility of what she pulled off for as long as she did. ... [The Dropout] gives us something much more valuable, something that Theranos hoped to achieve itself: A new, better way of doing things.
