Netflix Australia: The Shocking Truth Behind the 'Liver King' - What to Watch This Week

This week's Netflix lineup in Australia offers a fascinating, and frankly disturbing, deep dive into the world of social media influence and the lengths people will go to for online fame. The documentary Untold: The Liver King is causing quite a stir, and for good reason. It unravels the story of Brian Johnson, better known as 'Liver King,' a fitness influencer who built a massive following – and a lucrative supplement empire – on a diet seemingly straight out of a caveman’s cookbook: raw organ meat.
For years, Liver King captivated audiences with his primal lifestyle, boasting incredible physical strength and promoting the benefits of consuming things like heart, kidney, and liver. His Instagram feed was a carefully curated display of rugged masculinity, showcasing his impressive physique and unwavering dedication to his unconventional diet. He became a poster boy for a ‘back-to-basics’ approach to health and wellness, amassing millions of followers and selling supplements promising similar results.
However, Untold: The Liver King pulls back the curtain on this carefully constructed persona. The documentary reveals a shocking truth: Liver King's impressive physique wasn't entirely the result of his raw meat diet. It turns out he’s been using steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs for years, a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the fitness community and beyond.
Why is this documentary so important? It’s not just about exposing a fraud. Untold: The Liver King serves as a crucial reminder of the dangers of blindly trusting online influencers, particularly when it comes to health and wellness advice. It highlights the deceptive nature of social media, where appearances can be carefully crafted and reality often distorted. The documentary also raises serious questions about the supplement industry and the ethical responsibilities of influencers who promote products to their followers.
Beyond the Liver King saga, Netflix Australia continues to offer a diverse range of content this week. Whether you're in the mood for gripping dramas, hilarious comedies, or thought-provoking documentaries, there's something for everyone. But be sure to add Untold: The Liver King to your watchlist – it’s a story you won’t soon forget, and one that will make you think twice about the influencers you follow.
