Apple Cider Vinegar is a based on a true story (or as the show likes to say, a true story based on a lie) dramatisation of some stuff that I must have missed when it originally happened - not being australian or into instagram drama - and is pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Lots of very timely themes covered; influencer / grifter lifestyles and social medias shallow surface level examinations of things where how something appears is the whole of the truth, parasocial relationships and specfically female frenemy rivalries, the erosion in trust in the MSM and journalism being something they are complicit in through op-eds and puff pieces, the capacity for otherwise intelligent and capable people to live in denial and self delusion... lots of stuff to unpack.
Good acting all round, compelling story, and avoids easy answers or dumbing things down and lots of unreliable characters and narration to make you think for yourself about how you feel about things rather than telling you how you should. Is she a monster or a victim? Yes.
