bad blood by john carreyrou cover image

The Dropout on Hulu: A few years ago, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou kicked off a for me the love for nonviolent true crime—plus, I’m always looking for more journalist-written books. Since then there’s been a documentary, the very real case that played out in the media, and now the fictionalized series have started. This one stars Amanda Seyfried as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, who has since been found guilty of defrauding investors over her claim to have one-drop blood testing technology. This story is bonkers, and if you still haven’t read the book I highly recommend it—I know the whole tech, Silicon Valley startup may sound boooooring but I promise this story is anything but. Here’s the trailer for the eight-episode limited series.
