The world of wellness has long been controversial for promoting wild ways to find peace in health and lifestyle. One of Netflix’s newest original series, (Un)well, takes a deep look into global practices that may or may not serve as reasonable medical treatments.
The series explores a range of topics—essential oils and bee sting therapy, tantric sex— so viewers are sure to learn something new about wellness lifestyles, whether or not they agree with the techniques.
(Un)well is just one of the shows leading Netflix’s Top 10 this week. And while the rest of the most-watched movies and TV shows are certainly entertaining, we’re positive that (Un)well will provide the most shocking viewing experience.
At the very least, though, we hope you find something in the Top 10 that promotes your own wellness.
