    Goop Lab’s six episodes generally skirt the most eyebrow-raising of Goop’s nonsense, while mixing up the far-out and the less so. ... Don’t let The Goop Lab’s other experts fool you. Paltrow is the most expert of all: Self-aware, self-actualized, self-improving, and beyond self-reproach, she’s what Goop is actually selling.

    It’s almost impressive how aggressively obnoxious the first episode is. ... But whenever the show moves away from the Goopers and focuses on actual humans — each episode features “case studies” with everyday folk who have tried the “alternative” treatment being discussed — it’s hard not to be drawn in on a more genuine level. ... One big problem with most of Goop Lab, though: It’s boring.

    “The Goop Lab,” lowbrow TV with high production values, is the most unsettling kind of sponcon—the soulful kind. ... And yet, when “The Goop Lab” winks at its own absurdity viewers are in more danger of being entertained, even moved.

    It’s a marketing show aimed at selling products, both goop-related and otherwise. If you know you’re being sold a bill of goods, you won’t be disappointed.

    There are some (some!) genuinely interesting discussions being had, but they quickly get overwhelmed by the baffling, idiotic and genuinely bizarre world that Goop likes to operate in.

    Pseudo-science bunk for the easily deluded and gullible by an actress’s new age company hawking cult of personality andPseudo-science bunk for the easily deluded and gullible by an actress’s new age company hawking cult of personality and non-factual/science-based fringe nonsense. Classless National Enquirer-level notions and silliness. Egotistical drivel from a loon who has too much money and time on her hands. Netflix should be ashamed of itself in pandering to this non-expertise peddled nonsense. Viewer beware. A steaming pile.… Full Review »

Does she really believe it? Is she a corporate scumbag willing to sell out the gullible for money? How does she escape the backlash and still do stuff in the MCU? This is much worse than making a racist joke or two (not defending that either).… Full Review »
