This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pseudo science nonsense with no useful information. Completely fails as both entertainment and education. Boring. Devoid of purpose. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Dark times are truly upon us. We find ourselves locked inside our homes, waiting out the initial wave of a horrible disease, whose socio-economic toll is in no way comparable to the toll it has taken on human lives. And for the survivors? Aching, soul-crushing boredom. Even I, a true-blue immutable introvert, am finding myself at loose ends and sleeping-in later than is advisable, even if I do appreciate the solitude. And where has this dark, existential-dread ridden retreat into our brick tombs led us? Why, to our glowing red monument to our need for never-ending consumption, of course!

And Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't have come at a better time. In a world where excellent television, whether it be the brooding, booze-addled misfortunes of Don Draper, or the stirring, nerve-racking exploits of one Walter White are available at our fingertips, sometimes nothing beats the 'Ol Schlockfest. Little more could've been asked in this regard from Gwyneth Paltrow, a true auteur in the field.

However, it is my solemn duty to report that The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow has let us down in even this regard. This short-form documentary series could not be appealing to even the most morbidly curious; an ode to a woman's black hole of stupidity, seeking to consume the hopes and beliefs in anything decent of all present. Attempting to comprehend the mind of Gwyneth Paltrow is to stare into the void, and serves as evidence to the chilling notion that perhaps there are people walking around with absolutely nothing inside them but meat, circuitry, and cobwebs.

Each installment is more grotesque and morbid than the last, beginning rather innocuously with a gentrified shrooms-binge in Jamaice, and two episodes later we're treated to studious breakdown of Gwyneth Paltrow's nether-regions, and by that point we haven't even hit the bottom of the barrel. And though the poster for this feature is obviously meant to represent this delicate area of womanhood, it instead serves as a perfect analogy for the descent into the vacuous, gaping hole at the center of our modern cynical, capitalist society which drives us so up-the-wall in our search for anything of any actual substance and meaning that purchasing wax candles fine-tuned to scent of rich-person crotch might strike one as a good idea. And at the center of this cultural crater? None other than Paltrow herself.

When some demagogue rises to harvest our cultivated cynicism, you have Gwyneth Paltrow and her "goop" line to thank.

The infuriating, absurd, surprising (in a negative way) pseudo-no-science propaganda, with a side of blatant scam. The only fair conclusion to this s**t should be GP arrested and sent to jail.

The only fair conclusion to this s**t should be GP arrested and sent to jail. The people who buy Goop products need a psychologist. Please don't finance this bull**** and don't watch this series.
