Ripped From the Headlines: Where to Stream the Best Tech Dramas

Consumer technology and entertainment both move in cycles. After years of wanting smaller smartphones, we now demand handsets that resemble tablets. Likewise, prestige TV brought cinematic quality and freedom to cable, but now cutting-edge video streaming services embrace trashy reality shows featuring people running their lives for our pleasure. The two segments intersect with the new crop of tech dramas.

The tech industry has no shortage of people who enjoyed meteoric (and suspicious) success, only to become absolute lunatics or outright convicted criminals. The backstabbing, money-chasing hustles and huge grifts may make you cynical about the world, but it also makes for compelling drama.

We’ve seen so many of these tech disasters that they’ve now become the big, new trend on video streaming services. The movies and TV programs spotlight charismatic (but flawed and unhinged) tech founders, show their rise to the top, and revel in how they lost it all through greed, incompetence, half-truths, and blatant lies. Take Goodfellas, and replace the gangsters with folks in vest jackets. 

You can use video streaming services to enjoy these parables about technology’s dangers. When dry documentaries aren’t enough, check out the best tech dramas that are ripped straight from the headlines.


The Dropout

Amanda Seyfried plays Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout, a Hulu miniseries. Despite her creepy eyes and allegedly fake, deep voice, Holmes can’t transplant Silicon Valley’s dubious hustle culture into the medical field, a place where human lives are on the line. Catch up on this story before Holmes gets sentenced later this year.


Halt and Catch Fire

Halt and Catch Fire is a fictional show, but it explores the 1980s and 1990s computer culture so intimately, from the creative dreams to the corporate reality, that it feels truer than any show on this list. It’s Mad Men for hackers, and appropriately enough it originally aired on AMC. Currently, you can stream most of the show via FuboTV , or purchase individual episodes from Amazon Prime Video. 


Jobs and Steve Jobs

If you watch enough of these shows, you’ll realize just how deeply the various tech founders idolize Steve Jobs. They pattern their careers after him, from the outer charm to the dubious respect of technology. And, of course, they hope to become just as rich. Jobs and Steve Jobs bring the Apple co-founder’s life to the screen in different ways. Jobs is a standard biopic starring Ashton Kutcher; Steve Jobs uses a heightened, backstage theatrical framing device, and stars Michael Fassbender. Steve Jobs is streaming on Netflix, while Jobs is streaming on Showtime. 


Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley impacts our world in deeply serious ways, it’s also seriously ridiculous. Comedy mastermind Mike Judge perfectly captures this in Silicon Valley, another fictional show as truthful as real life. In it, nerds suddenly become powerful people, while not necessarily becoming better people. You can find the series on HBO Max.


The Social Network

The Social Netflix set the modern standard for how to turn scenes featuring dorks typing on laptops into thrilling drama. David Fincher’s stylish direction, Aaron Sorkin’s verbose script, and Jesse Eisenberg’s wounded villain take on Mark Zuckerberg make the story of Facebook’s founding into one of the century’s best films. Watch it on Netflix.  


Super Pumped

Uber didn’t just destroy the taxi industry, it made Travis Kalanick extremely rich. Super Pumped traces the story of the ubiquitous rideshare app, and features Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the now-ousted CEO. The first season (narrated by Quentin Tarantino) leads to an anthology series about similar tech stories. Super Pumped is a Showtime show, so your best streaming option might be to get the Paramount+ and Showtime bundle.   


WeCrashed

I find it pretty rich that Apple TV+ of all services has a show, WeCrashed, about a tech company too devoted to its founder. Still, WeWork’s rise and fall is a fascinating story about a real estate company that pretended to be a tech company to keep the money rolling. Jared Leto plays Adam Neumann almost too well, and Anne Hathaway has almost too much to do as Neumann’s barely relevant, hippie wife.
