Netflix completely botched the FTX doc casting and narrative.
Why tf are we watching a love story? Nobody cares about SBF and Caroline's romance.
What we actually want:
• The $8B crash breakdown
• Alameda's backdoor liquidity drain
• Their AI investment thesis (yes, SBF was betting on AGI before it was cool)
• The regulatory arbitrage playbook
But instead we get:
• SBF cast as some wide-eyed curly-haired kid (dude had a calculated, lowkey sinister vibe IRL)
• Caroline as a cougar archetype (she was way more reserved and technical than portrayed)
• CZ played by... literally any Chinese guy? Might as well cast The Rock at that point
They completely missed the essence of the characters and the actual alpha behind the collapse. This could've been a masterclass in crypto risk management and systemic failure. Instead it's a soap opera.
Netflix fumbled the bag harder than FTX itself.
