About

"Uncomfortable truths hiding in your grocery cart"

Rotten is a documentary anthology that pulls back the curtain on the global food industry, with each episode chasing a different scandal: fraud, smuggling, environmental damage, or corporate cover-ups tied to everyday products like honey, garlic, or peanuts. The tone is investigative and unhurried, built from interviews with farmers, regulators, and criminals rather than jump-scare shock tactics. It carries itself on genuine reporting and the slow-dawning horror of how little consumers actually know about their food's origins. It's more informative than thrilling, rewarding patience over binge-watching.

Watch it for

the eye-opening investigative journalism into food fraud most consumers never think about.

Maybe skip if

you want fast-paced entertainment rather than methodical, sometimes dry investigative reporting.
