Netflix 's Apple Cider Vinegar examines the rise and fall of Australian influencer Belle Gibson .

The show is a flashy examination of so-called wellness influencers, but it's also a very upsetting cancer story.

It's hard not not to draw comparisons to another Netflix true crime show: Inventing Anna.

Milla 's refusal to treat her cancer is some of the most upsetting TV I've seen in a while.

Lucy 's character becomes the stand-in for Apple Cider Vinegar to explain how what Belle and Milla are doing is harmful.

Despite strong performance by Dever and Debnam-Carey , I know that my main reaction was less tied to the characters as characters.
