What kind of watch this is

Graham Moore’s 2026 drama treats the collapse of FTX not as a financial failure, but as a romance. It follows Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison as they attempt to rewrite the rules of global finance, only to be accused of stealing $8 billion. The show frames their rise and fall as a shared delusion, casting Julia Garner and Anthony Boyle as partners who saw a golden ticket where others saw a trap. It is a tight, high-stakes look at how two people convinced the world they were building the future, right up until the moment the money disappeared. For a single season of 8 episodes, it feels less like a documentary and more like a cautionary tale about the price of believing in your own myth.
