Apple Cider Vinegar is really good. It's a show that perfectly captures contemporary life; the possibilities and pitfalls of the internet, healthfluencers, "alternative" medicine, and the gender wars. It explores how the internet is a perfect "place" to weaponize sociopathy, doubt, and aspiration. How well meaning people can be sucked into a world of snake oil and quack treatments it for perfectly understandable reasons, always empathizing with the people on screen.
I have to say, Kaitlyn Denver is FANTASTIC as notorious scammer Belle Gibson. Denver not only masters the Australian accent, but manages to capture a distinct "Australian Millennial" vibe. Without heavy makeup or unique costuming, she still manages to melt away into her role.
I've seen Alycia Debnam-Carey in other stuff, but aside from being a dead ringer for Hilary Duff, she's never really stood out to me as an actress. Until now, of course. Her performance in Apple Cider Vinegar is really great, and I found her character - Milla Blake - to be such a great foil to Belle. The entire cast is pretty phenomenal, but the two lead actresses really steal the show here.
I also have to commend this show for really UNDERSTANDING the internet and social media. I love how when people are depicted as being on Instagram Live or YouTube or Facebook, the content LOOKS the way it's supposed to. Even TV interviews are shot like actual TV interviews, perfect lighting and all. YouTube videos shown in the series LOOk like actual YouTube videos.
And the transitions feel so seamless and energetic; almost like how it feels flipping from app to app and responding to messages in between. It's a pretty well paced show, every episode feels fairly packed with stuff happening and while it does dip in quality a bit in the middle, it's never boring.
I will say, the show plays around with non-linear storytelling which is mostly effective (it would definitely be a lesser show if it were told entirely chronologically) but it can be a bit confusing at times.
Overall though, Apple Cider Vinegar really exceeded my expectations. It's a show with the energy and intrigue of an Inventing Anna with the quality performances and intensity of Adolescence.
The problem I have with this is even the other reviewers stating they have had cancer or are currently going through it... do I believe them???
I mean of course I do... but how do we REALLY know?!?!?
I absolutely agree this needs to be talked about because there are SO many fakes out there that are playing this evil game of monetizing a very serious medical diagnosis and using it to their benefit because they are sociopaths.
Overall I thought this was a great show and something I didn't want to watch at first but ended up watching and found it very well done. The lead actress is believable as Australian, wow. The rest of the cast knew their assignment. The pace was great and I wasn't bored at all but felt a lot of compassion.
I'm Australian and didn't even realise the actress playing Belle was American!!
Even if you know the story, there's still plenty of detail and character building that really builds on the nuances of those involved.
Great acting, great cast, loved the direction and cinematography. Also really great depiction of the so-called wellness industry, the slow build of Instagram and influencer culture. Part of you wonders if it had been successful without the lies.
Really proud the Aussie TV industry did the story so well - I binged it in a day!!
I have been an avid researcher of Belle Gibson and her infamous scam for years now. The story of Belle Gibson is such a fascinating story for me because it horrifies me to my core, yet it makes me want to read more about the story. So when it was announced that Netflix would be releasing a mini series based on Belle Gibson, I was genuinely excited.
I got to finish the entire series in a few days, and while I was not disappointed, I am still confused at the directions it took. For one, I thought it was bizarre how the team made the series to be like a "teen girl" like drama at times, with pop songs in the intro. Next, I thought it was strange how they made their own story within the real life story, specifically the one about how Belle was caught.
However, I really enjoyed the performances of the actresses and actors. I found their performances to be convincing and they all seemed to be into their roles. I also really liked their decision of adding POVs of the Belle Gibson story from other characters, as it makes the story more gripping and you can imagine the shock of the world when they discovered that Belle was a fraud.
Overall, I enjoyed the series. It's definitely far from perfect, but I believe that the actors/actresses made it as interesting as it was. Oh, and if you have not read about Belle Gibson, I highly recommend reading about her story before watching this series.
