I was curious about this for awhile and decided to officially toady cause I noticed it's up for numerous emmy's plus caught up on other shows I've been into. Anyway I didn't realize this is based on the real Elizabeth Holmes, I don't think my mom did either when she watched the series. The Dropout is brilliantly written and acted; amazing mini series throughout! Amanda Seyfeild is magnificent is pretty much anything originally watched her in Mean Girls that was an breakout role and the soundtrack is great!
