First of all, with Elizabeth Holmes awaiting sentencing later on this year, I'm not sure a TV series depicting her as a damaged PTSD victim is really appropriate - though I'm sure she and her lawyers are thrilled by it.

Seyfried plays Holmes as almost pathologically detached - all brain and no emotion, unable to process trauma, unable to get along with her peers, unable to play by the rules. In short, a classic sociopath, right down to practicing emotional reactions in front of a mirror. If this were an accurate portrayal of Holmes, how did she manage to impress, charm and/or finagle so many intelligent professionals into investing in her company? We see nothing of that - no explanation for why so many people, including medical professionals, would have trusted this woman with not only their money, but the lives of their patients.

I'm going to continue to watch this because I'm curious to see if they deal with any of these problems as the series progresses - but I'm watching it as a fictional drama and not a true story.
