The Inventor is a new Elizabeth Holmes documentary about the Theranos scandal. Here’s how to watch HBO’s The Inventor live on TV and online.

Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos are getting the HBO treatment, so find out how to watch The Inventor online or live tonight, as the network unveils its Elizabeth Holmes documentary.

The program’s full title is The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, as it unravels how Holmes went from being seen as the next big thing in medical technology to being exposed as a scam artist facing criminal charges. The film hails from Alex Gibney, who’s delivered a number of incisive non-fiction specials dealing with some of the most buzzworthy people and topics in the country today.

Gibney also worked on HBO’s groundbreaking Scientology project Going Clear, based on the book of the same name by Lawrence Wright, and A&E‘s Monica Lewinsky miniseries The Clinton Affair. TV fans who saw either one know how those projects ripped the lid off their topics, and there’s no reason to expect that this one will be any less compelling. It’s got big money, big technology, life and death, and Elizabeth Holmes going from heroine to villain.

Especially hailing from HBO, which has a reputation for unflinching documentaries, this will be a project people will be talking about around the water cooler this week, and you don’t want to be the one who missed out.

Here’s all the information you need to watch The Inventor online and live Monday to check out HBO’s look inside the story of Theranos and the fall of Elizabeth Holmes.

Here’s how HBO officially describes the documentary:

"Academy Award winner Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, HBO’s Emmy-winning Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief) directs a documentary investigating the rise and fall of Theranos, the one-time multibillion-dollar healthcare company founded by Elizabeth Holmes.In 2004, Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford to start a company that was going to revolutionize healthcare. In 2014, Theranos was valued at $9 billion, making Holmes, who was touted as “the next Steve Jobs,” the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world. Just two years later, Theranos was cited as a “massive fraud” by the SEC, and its value was less than zero.Drawing on extraordinary access to never-before-seen footage and testimony from key insiders, director Alex Gibney will tell a Silicon Valley tale that was too good to be true. With all the drama of a real-life heist film, the untitled documentary will examine how this could have happened and who is responsible, while exploring the psychology of deception."
