How the youngest self-made female b’naire lost it all in a flash: Hulu’s limited series The Dropout tells the early story of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes (played by Amanda Seyfried), a university dropout who styled herself after Steve Jobs and led a blood testing startup on claims of revolutionizing lab testing. The series is a mind-blowing portrayal of a leading American con artist, showing viewers the early age experiences that partially motivated Holmes’ deceptions and lies. Many of the characters appearing in the mini series are real people involved in the real story, which led to Holmes’ conviction earlier this year on multiple charges, including misleading investors and patients over the accuracy of her firm’s blood-testing technology. Seyfried’s uncanny portrayal of Holmes has helped her secure an Emmy nomination for lead actress in a limited series. You can stream The Dropout on Disney+, or catch the trailer here (watch, runtime: 2:25)

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

It’s the main ingredient in many of the world’s most popular dishes from pizza and spaghetti sauce to chicken tikka masala, but how much do you really know about the tomato? Probably not very much. Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World author William Alexander is neither a farmer nor a historian or chef. He’s just a man that was curious about tomatoes and took a deep dive into the crop’s micro history to reveal how the once shunned fruit or vegetable (major point of contention) became a staple in households all over the world. The search for the answer took Williams across continents to South America where tomatoes were a common ingredient in Aztec cuisine (think ancient salsa) then across the pond to Italy where the coveted San Marzano variety is grown. The book is full of adventure and humor and manages to strike the perfect cord between being entertaining and informative.
