There are three new series focused on famous downfalls in the tech world: Hulu’s “The Dropout,” Showtime’s “Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber,” and Apple TV+’s “WeCrashed.” How are these shows faring against each other?

So far, “The Dropout,” based on a podcast that chronicled the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scandal, has had the most successful premiere, peaking at over 20 times the average series demand — as measured by Parrot Analytics‘ patented platform, which takes into account consumer research data, streaming, downloads and social media, among other consumer engagement.
