The Dropout on Hulu

The Dropout on Hulu

The crime writers welcome Ronald Young Jr. from the HBO Docs Club podcast to fill in for the vacationing Toby Ball!

In True Crime Update: MD prosecutors agree with Serial's Adnan Syed to test DNA on crime scene evidence not previously tested. What does it mean that the state supports re-testing and how might it affect Adnan's effort to win his release.

Then: high-achiever Elizabeth Holmes went to college with a vague dream to invent something that would change the face of medicine. She dropped out of school to start a company even though the experts told her the science behind her idea wouldn’t work. The eight-episode Hulu drama “The Dropout,” based on the ABC News podcast of the same name, stars Amanda Seyfried. She plays Elizabeth Holmes as an awkward yet driven idealist, so blinded by her vision she’d do anything - even faking results, lying to investors, and mistreating her workers.
