1 cataloguedThe artistry of “The Dropout” is that while it never makes excuses for Holmes and shines a harsh spotlight on her bizarre behavior and sociopathic-level lack of empathy, we see her as a three-dimensional human being who had unlimited potential and probably WOULD have achieved something great had she listened to those who were trying to get her to slow down and do things the right way.
她就还是一开始就入错行了!想辍学创业提高创业成功率和效率还是得搞计算机,生物医药门槛太高了……
You get a sense of who Holmes was, what drove her ambition and, ultimately, the desperation behind her foolish delusion that she had to stay the course, even as things careened out of control. Yet the series never lionizes her or glorifies her actions—tempting given the scale and implausibility of what she pulled off for as long as she did. ... [The Dropout] gives us something much more valuable, something that Theranos hoped to achieve itself: A new, better way of doing things.
