ITVX's new fact-based drama Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber charts the groundbreaking cab company's rocky road to global success under the control of bullish co-founder and former CEO Travis Kalanick.

As brought to life by Inception star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the driven Kalanick is not always easy to like.

But despite his overbearing, win-at-allcosts approach, he is also fascinating to watch and, apparently, could - on occasion - be a good boss.

'He made some questionable decisions and was guilty of some blameworthy behaviour, reveals Gordon-Levitt of Kalanick, who would end up resigning from the board of his beloved company amid allegations about a toxic workplace culture. 'But I spoke to a bunch of people who worked with him at Uber, and heard how compelling, winning and caring he was with his team.'
