recap
John Carreyrou, a Wall Street Journal writer and author of “The Realities Of Changing Ways: How Theranos Fell short”, starts to build his story by interviewing doctors about inaccurate readings that have harmed patients. Employees involved in the company start worrying for their safety after realizing how poorly things are going with Theranos’ business practices as a well-known insider trading scandal unfolds around them
The show is brilliant in its portrayal of this looming sense of paranoia. The characters are constantly being followed and Sunny outright threatens the doctors who want to testify against him, showing just how dangerous he truly feels they might be for outing John as a fraud with their own lives at stake if anything were to happen while working on his case
The young spy Dylan Minnette does an excellent job playing someone so afraid that it shines through every part he takes- whether bravely trying to get information out when everyone tells them not to or panicked because there’s no other choice but to stay quiet about everything else happening around them all these years before finally telling some truth
Sunny and Elizabeth’s antics are always on point, whether they’re chasing each other around a vast mansion or awkwardly dancing while trying not to hit any of the staff members. The Dropout goes for more cringe humor than We Crashed does which makes it an interesting alternative if you want something less controversial
Output tone: Funny
The Ending
John is advised by his boss (LisaGay Hamilton) to be patient and she convinces him that the best way to success will come. However, David Boies arrives at Wall Street Journal headquarters ready with a plan of attack on behalf of Elizabethtown General Hospital against them which leads to another intense boardroom sequence between lawyers where words turn into actions as they battle it out until there’s only one left standing – winner takes all!
The Dropout has been building to this moment for a while now and your patience will be rewarded. This is an action-packed penultimate episode that nicely sets things up for the hotly anticipated finale! I’m expecting great things from it, so prepare yourself…
So, what do you think of the new episode? Let me know below!
