Netflix's newest stunning thriller is almost here, and it looks so tense
Apple Cider Vinegar is finally about to stream

Netflix has been teasing its latest "inspired by real-life" thriller for weeks now, drip-feeding teasers and trailers with abandon, and now that Apple Cider Vinegar is just a day away from arriving (on 6 February), it's given us another quite detailed preview. The show's latest trailer is a small slice of the programme itself.
We get to see some footage from late on in its story (I'd assume), as Belle Gibson (Kaitlyn Dever) is confronted in a live TV interview about the stories she's told of her apparent cancer treatments. We know that these were lies, but she hasn't yet admitted that publicly, and appears to be trying to stick to that line.
Meanwhile, in another setting, a character who seems to have known Belle at some point talks to a room in what looks like a support group setting. He details how he knew that what Belle was describing rang false right from the start, contrasting her descriptions of cancer treatments with his own experience.
It grounds us immediately in the fact that Gibson's lies had consequences for real people, even if at times they seemed so ridiculous as to be just the subject of some laughs. He moves on, though, to tell a story about how Gibson says her healthcare journey started, and it's a big moment for explaining the show's title.
He recounts Gibson's claims that she found a blog telling her to drink Apple Cider Vinegar to cure her ringworm, and after chugging a bunch of the liquid, she was able to pull a tapeworm out of her own throat. It's a revolting little vignette, one founded on a basically impossible lie, exemplifying how Gibson got away with extraordinary claims thanks to a lack of investigation.
This all sets things up perfectly for a fall from grace, and I can't wait to see how Apple Cider Vinegar handles Gibson's whole arc. It feels like I've been waiting to watch it for months, so the fact that it's finally imminent is a real relief, even with teasers like this to help bridge the gap. If you're in the camp of people who think Netflix is the best streaming service out there, it should be on your watchlist for sure.
