Summary
Author Reeves Wiedeman discusses the story behind WeWork, the subject of Hulu’s documentary WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn about the rise and fall of one of the biggest corporate flameouts and venture capitalist bubbles in recent years and its leader Adam Neumann.
Fashion inclusivity expert Sabrina Chazen reviews the new season of The Circle on Netflix, a reality series where Big Brother meets Catfish. Contestants move into the same apartment building, never meeting face-to-face during the competition as each one lives in his or her own apartment. The contestants communicate exclusively through profiles created on a specially designed social media app. This anonymity allows them to hide their true identities and portray themselves however they choose. Throughout the competition, the players rate one another, with the lowest-rated players put at risk of being eliminated, or blocked, from the game. The contestant who survives the contest and emerges the winner takes home the $100,000 grand prize.
