Driving by her deep will of helping people, this documentary series, follows Gwyneth Paltrow, a well known actress, who owns a wellness company, Goop, where she, by the help of a group of experts, gives people advices about how they can be healthy and making them following a healthy system.
To watch The Goop Lab as a series, with its arcing assumptions about the limitations of medical science, is also to wonder where to locate the line between open-mindedness and gullibility.
There are few surprises in The Goop Lab: The show is as silly and grating as expected, and Paltrow doubles down on the polarizing persona she's cultivated for the last decade and a half as Hollywood's most famous woo-woo peddler.
To a far greater extent than I imagined, The Goop Lab actually makes it possible to be slightly less cynical about Goop. Life, man. It can still surprise you.
