Hulu’s series “The Dropout” is an outstanding show.

I’ve been watching the series about Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried) and Theranos ever since it first premiered on the streaming giant, and it’s been awesome from the jump. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Sunday night, I finally finished the series finale, and there’s no question at all that it was an incredible show.

For those of you who don’t know, Elizabeth Holmes started Theranos with the promise to create tech that could test for a lot of different medical conditions with just a drop of blood.

Sounds pretty awesome, right? Well, the entire thing was more or less a gigantic scheme, it eventually collapsed and Holmes was recently convicted on multiple charges.

While you might find it hard to believe a show based on a blood testing company could be incredibly captivating, “The Dropout” refuses to let you go once it starts.

It’s incredibly suspenseful as Holmes tries to stay one step ahead of everything falling apart.

Speaking of Holmes, Seyfried gives the most impressive performance of her career as the failed mogul. Every scene she was in, she stole the show.

All the way around, “The Dropout” was outstanding, and I can’t recommend it enough. Make sure to catch it all on Hulu.
