Eight part series on the US fraud case of Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos Company.
I remember a little bit about it when it happened but this was a well acted, re-enactment of how it started and escalated to include George Shultz, US Secretary of State and Rupert Murdoch.
Fascinating and nice role by Stephen Fry as the Chemist.

They must have ran this twice on BBC 1 as the last episode was only a couple of days ago. Didn't see another thread running as a result. Sorry.

No the BBC has only run it once as far as I know. All the episodes were available on iPlayer the day the 1st episode aired but most people saw it a few years back on Disney+.

By the way if you can access Disney+, Dopesick is very good and also based on a true story.
