KATHRYN FLETT'S My TV Week: This compelling true-crime tale is bloody brilliant!
Kathryn Flett: The story of the convicted American fraudster Elizabeth Holmes 's tech start-up Theranos is an example of contemporary hubris writ very large.
Yet Theranos was failing to deliver anything close to the game-changing blood-testing technology (speedy, painless, needing just one drop) that Holmes had promised to the company's famous investors – who included Rupert Murdoch, on board for $125 million. There's also a great supporting cast, including Naveen Andrews (as Holmes's lover/business mentor Sunny Balwani), Stephen Fry (as Theranos's chief scientist Ian Gibbons) and – stealing the fourth episode – Alan Ruck, aka Succession's Connor Roy, as 'Dr Jay' Rosan, an executive at US pharmacy chain Walgreens. By adopting a deep voice, Thatcher-style, and a black polo-neck, Steve Jobs-style, she assumed boardroom gravitas while revealing herself as a geeky Millennial by painting quotes from Star Wars's Yoda on her HQ's walls.
