These 6 Netflix Treats Are Worth Watching In February

I love a good film or TV show where the plots resemble the darkest and weirdest episodes of Black Mirror and Netflix’s newest mini-series, Apple Cider Vinegar, is exactly that except scarier. This six-episode show is based on the true story of Australian wellness influencer Belle Gibson who faked terminal cancer (yes, cancer). But that was only the start of her treachery. Gibson then claimed she cured her cancer through diet, exercise, and alternative medicine methods and built a multimillion dollar empire off this lie that included a wellness food-based app called The Whole Pantry, a huge Instagram following upwards of 300,000 (this was long before “normal” people i.e. non-celebs ranked in huge followers), and even her own cookbook. While she didn’t serve any jail time, Gibson was convicted, fined more than $1 million in fees, and was forced to sell all her assets.
