A dramatic new Netflix series, “Sirens,” has reignited public debate around cult psychology by illustrating, beneath its quirky and extravagant surface, the disturbingly subtle methods that cults use to recruit and control followers. The show, set on a remote island where an affluent community is ruled with an iron will by leader “Kiki,” draws viewers in with eccentric rituals and oddball characters—only to reveal the deeply manipulative psychological machinery that traps people in such groups (RNZ).

In a dramatic turn of events highlighting the risks of social media-driven health fads, a prominent advocate of the extreme carnivore diet, widely known as the “Liver King,” has publicly admitted he was “wrong” about the purported benefits of eating only animal foods—including raw organs like testicles and liver. The revelation, made in a new Netflix documentary, is prompting renewed scrutiny of restrictive diets promoted online and stoking important conversations about nutrition, health, and disinformation for audiences in Thailand and beyond (UNILAD).
