The Goop Lab isn’t particularly hateable. Some of the episodes are even helpful. ... My chief complaint about The Goop Lab, believe it or not, is that its episodes need to be a little longer.
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.

I'd rather see a deeper dive into Paltrow. 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).

I'm very disappointed in Netflix for allowing this unscientific harmless crap onto their platform. Only 2 items at the most can be considered "plausible" treatments (with more research needed) the rest is unsubstantiated pseudo-science at best a placebo... Just get some sugar pills from your doctor.

SEASON 1
“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.
What’s disturbing about the show is that when you combine Gwyneth’s aura of trustworthiness with a mishmash of real science, New Age nonsense, vague female empowerment rhetoric, naked commercialism and some startling knowledge gaps in areas where Goop claims expertise, the result has its unique dangers. ... Some episodes are more than just distasteful.
It presents itself as airy infotainment even as many Americans are unable to access even the most basic forms of medical care. That makes the show deeply uncomfortable to watch. So does The Goop Lab’s just-asking-questions approach to health—its breezy mistrust of expertise itself.
The mind will wander. Mine did, even during what is undoubtedly the most provocative “Goop Lab” episode, “The Pleasure Is Ours,” a no-detail-left-out exploration of female sexual pleasure. Like most of “Goop Lab,” it’s a crashing bore. And with its stylish but unreadable fonts and the show’s next-level self-absorption, ultimately unwatchable.
Pseudo-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.
