For those who don't have Disney+ and didn't get a chance to see this excellent drama about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, it is being shown on BBC1, starting tomorrow night with E1 & E2 at 22:40 & 23:00 respectively. Amanda Seyfried plays a blinder.

Dopesick , which is in the same vein is very well worth a watch.

I preferred it to The Dropout

You're not the first to say that, I must give it a go.

I'm now half way through Dopesick and it is also brilliant. Thanks for nudging me to watch it.

Now finished Dopesick and as Hedobot says it is definitely worth a watch, especially if you liked The Dropout.

Would you have a link to these videos you mention.

Also how come the guy (I forget his name) got a longer sentance than Elizabeth Holmes?

Just put "Elizabeth Holmes 2017 deposition" into Google / YouTube and you'll find them.

His name is Sunny Balwani and the reason given is as follows;

"Prosecutors meanwhile urged a sentence of 15 years and $803m in restitution. They argued that through inaccurate blood tests at Theranos, Balwani had shown “conscious or reckless risk of death or serious bodily injury” toward patients and deserved a longer sentence than Holmes."
