The Dropout's premiere arrives with an unapologetically ironic formal choice: it opens with Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried) as a child at Halloween, dressed as the businesswoman she has not yet become, foreshadowing the costume-as-identity thesis the series will pursue across eight episodes. Seyfried's Elizabeth is immediately unsettling - not villainous but genuinely strange, her social mimicry and ambition colliding in ways that make her rise feel inevitable and her fall equally so.
