Will grade on 3 criteria:
Accuracy
Entertainment
Relevancy/is it talking about the collapse or just internal drama?
Here's an LLM-generated and vetted ranking schema that I will actually use
1. Accuracy (Factual Correctness)
10/10 — Major events, fraud mechanics, timelines, numbers, and key details line up almost perfectly with court records, bankruptcy examiner report, trial testimony, and contemporaneous reporting. Minimal dramatic license.
8–9/10 — Very accurate overall; only minor timeline compressions or small composites.
6–7/10 — Mostly right on big picture, but several noticeable errors or distortions.
4–5/10 — Gets core facts wrong or heavily rewrites important events.
1–3/10 — Repeated major inaccuracies, inventions that change the story, or outright reversals of reality.
2. Entertainment / Craft
10/10 — Extremely bingeable, outstanding acting (especially Garner & Boyle), sharp dialogue, strong pacing and visuals. You forget you're watching a limited series.
8–9/10 — Very engaging, high production quality, minor dips but still strong.
6–7/10 — Solid watchable TV, some good moments but uneven or predictable.
4–5/10 — Mediocre pacing/acting, feels like standard prestige drama filler.
1–3/10 — Boring, poorly acted, hard to finish episodes.
3. Relevancy (Collapse vs. Internal Drama)
10/10 — Heavy focus on the actual collapse: fraud mechanics, customer fund theft, liquidity crisis, bankruptcy, domino effect on crypto. Internal drama serves the bigger story.
8–9/10 — Good balance — substantial time on the collapse and its causes, not just romance/character stuff.
6–7/10 — Some meaningful coverage of the collapse, but spends too much time on personal relationships and office politics.
4–5/10 — Mostly internal drama (romance, ambition, arguments) with the actual collapse feeling secondary or rushed.
1–3/10 — Barely about the collapse at all; mostly soap-opera style interpersonal drama with FTX as a backdrop.
