Well, sort of. Netflix is TV, right?
It’s a piece about phage therapy, part of a docuseries from Buzzfeed called “Follow This”. It’s in Part 3, the “Superbug Snipers” episode (not the Sexbots episode, sorry).
I have about 10s of a Skype conversation explaining why the economics of developing anti-bacterials mean that phage therapy will never go far.
Overall, I thought they did a pretty good job of being both entertaining and accurate. Of course they couldn’t resist the story of Stephanie Strathdee apparently saving her husband from an Acinetobacter infection with phage therapy. I’ve already dumped on this story, see here and here.
But that’s OK, one can hardly expect a Buzzfeed reporter to grasp (or care) about the kinetics of phage infection of bacteria, and I certainly have no proof that Strathdee’s story is wrong – it’s just not as plausible as she and others would have you believe, and that is no crime.
