The Altruists hasn't released its episodes to critics yet, so we're evaluating it based on the premise and the very public wreckage of the real-life story. The show will tackle Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison, the hyper-ambitious young idealists who blew up the crypto world and were accused of stealing $8 billion in customer funds.
This is squarely an adult and older-teen show. If your high schooler is interested in finance, coding, crypto, or ethics, co-watching this when it drops will beat any lecture on financial literacy you could ever give. It's the rare TV drama where the central villain isn't a cartoon monster, but a philosophy major and a math whiz who convinced themselves that normal rules didn't apply to them.
