During her last weeks of freedom, convicted Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and her partner invite a documentary crew into their home to rehabilitate her image. Comedian Nathan Fielder observes the couple in ways that veer from awkward to intimate, allowing him to turn their absurdist interactions into deeply probing questions about their lives, their perspectives, and their motivations.

Once she reports to prison, Fielder continues his exploration of Holmes’s psychology and of Billy Evans’s business machinations in her name. What is revealed is a surprising exploration of the veracity of storytelling, the deceptiveness of perception, and what’s really going on behind Holmes’s large, unblinking eyes.

The genre-bending metadocumentary “You Can See Everything” attempts much more than profiling an enigmatic con artist. Part performance art, part psychological experiment, Fielder challenges his subjects, his collaborators, and the audience in an existential shell game regarding the nature of truth itself.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
