After Apple Cider Vinegar, Watch Kaitlyn Dever & Michael Keaton’s 89% RT Miniseries About An Even Bigger Scandal

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Apple Cider Vinegar!

Emmy-nominated actor Kaitlyn Dever has the perfect 2021 Hulu miniseries, also starring Michael Keaton, to watch after finishing Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar. Based on the book The Woman Who Fooled The World by Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano, Apple Cider Vinegar tells the “true-ish” story of Australian scammer Belle Gibson, who lied about having brain cancer to take people’s money. Immediately after its release, the 2025 miniseries reached Netflix’s Top 10 TV Shows list, debuting at number 6 and increasing to number 4.

The reviews for Apple Cider Vinegar have been mostly positive because of the sharp wit, shifting timeline, and its crucial commentary. The show is grounded by Kaitlyn Dever’s performance as Belle Gibson, which leans into the character’s unreliable narration. Although Apple Cider Vinegar stands out among other true crime dramas because of the narrative choices, fans don’t have to look far to find another show to watch. Kaitlyn Dever appeared in the Hulu miniseries, Dopesick, in 2021, which has everything that Apple Cider Vinegar fans will love.

Dopesick Is Another Fantastic Kaitlyn Dever Show About A Real-Life Scandal

Hulu's Dopesick Explores The United States Opioid Epidemic

The 2025 miniseries Apple Cider Vinegar uses a focused story to comment on the bigger issue of scammers who prey on vulnerable communities and pseudoscientific treatments. The medical true crime angle of the Kaitlyn Dever miniseries makes it feel intrinsically linked to the actor’s 2021 Hulu miniseries Dopesick, which also centers on a medical scandal that impacted millions of people.

The previous show, Dopesick, shows how Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin had a hand in starting the opioid crisis in the United States. Kaitlyn Dever’s Dopesick character is a young woman who gets addicted to the substance. Rather than narrowing the story like Apple Cider Vinegar, the Hulu series has a broader scope, though, showing more main characters and a longer period of time. This feels appropriate, given the widespread nature of the opioid crisis. The Hulu miniseries also critiques the predatory nature of pharmaceutical corporations like Purdue Pharma, which still remains relevant as the opioid epidemic is still ongoing.

Moreover, they all tackle serious crimes – rape, conspiracy to defraud federal health agencies, and deceptive financial practices, respectively – that caused big scandals. While the actors on all three projects are great, Kaitlyn Dever undoubtedly carries the miniseries, showing her strength as an actor. She gives the proper emotional depth to every scene in her miniseries, executing the roles with precision. Dever even nailed her Australian accent in Apple Cider Vinegar, a defining characteristic of Belle Gibson that could’ve been a make-or-break element.
