Super-Pumped: The Battle For Uber

The Social Network. The Dropout. WeCrashed. And now, Super-Pumped, another birth-of-a-unicorn story, about ride-sharing app Uber’s Travis Kalanick (a likeable Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing a total dick). Like Mark Zuckerberg, Elizabeth Holmes, and Adam Neumann before him, Kalanick is portrayed as a cross between a miracle salesperson and a sociopathic douchebag with no qualms about stepping on others to get what he wants. (Is being an a-hole a prerequisite for being a disruptor?) Kalanick’s actions are despicable and that's what makes this corporate drama — from Billions creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien — so irresistible.

Watch it on: HBO Go, with new episodes on Thursday
