Painkiller

Shameful distortion of facts.

Absolutely great series I must see so real that it got me nauseous

Everyone, LISTEN-UP! Those people (mostly parents lost child) who ran to the Gov't screaming their kids died have a HUGE accountability dillema. They failed to teach their children in righteousness, the result is apparent. NOW, we (legit people in pain) are left to fend for ourselves / going to bad sources to obtain relief. Those people who haven't YET experienced constant PAIN, YOU better hope your health doesn't goto the you-know-what !

A very mind gripping movie that tells the story of addiction to prescriptive medicine. It combines fiction and reality in such a captivating way that you cannot leave your seat before the last episode.

The only good things about this show were the real families featured at the beginning of every episode and the one line calling Rudy Giuliani out for being the slime he is. Otherwise it's a heavily scripted soap opera with a few big names. I'm still not sure why I finished it at all.

Skip it. Over dramatic, editing is hard to watch, story is over dramatized and not serious enough for the subject it's covering. Any series that relies on conversations with dead people for important insights highlights the directors failure to tell the story. Dopesick was much better at presenting the story and the greed of the Sacklers.

Inspired editing brings this thrilling docu-drama to life. Masterfully communicating its hard-hitting story and message through interweaving stories and Aduba's stand out performance.

Truly incredible! Great performances. After the distraction of Covid we poignantly return to the earlier (and still existing) disaster of OxyContin and precisely how thousands died right before our eyes.

It was absolutely awful. Worst acting I've seen in a long time. Dopesick on Hulu regarding the same subject is 100 times better. I kept watching it but one "actor" was worse then the next. The main female was the only saving grace.

I think Dopesick did it better. But it was still heart-rending. The performance were excellent. I would have preferred a longer resolution with more details. Doing followup end title cards just doesn't seem to cut it dramatically. Especially when the series flirts with some over the top visuals throughout. I would still recommend it. It's engrossing.
