Episode 7 of WeCrashed begins with an introduction to IPOs. We're explained the pros and cons with going public on the stock market, which is a huge risk and in doing so, exposes everything for the public to see; the flip side to this is that it can exponentially increase the value of a business. At Google HQ in Silicon Valley, Adam shows up to pitch but things are not looking good. His schematic falls apart, which is a nice allegory for his own company. He's come to Google for money, trying to convince them that WeWork is a tech company. It's not, obviously, and Google see through this too, suggesting Adam turn toward an IPO. The delusional duo are about to get a rude awakening. Unfortunately, there are numerous workers that are about to get dragged down after being sucked into this scam too. Hey, that sounds like cryptocurrency doesn't it? Being convinced to believe in something with the promise of being better later on...only to be left with nothing. Anyway, WeCrashed finally looks like it's close to crashing out and boy what a long, drawn out ride this has been. There have been definite highlights with this series but also a fair amount of contrivances and needlessly long episodes that don't really add very much to the story. The penultimate chapter is no exception, with more vanity pandering from Rebekah and Adam who find themselves falling in love with themselves over their projects. It's got to the point now where I can't wait to see these two crash and burn, revelling in their tears and despair during the hour long finale.
