Ben S @TheBenMan Feb 4, 2026 Very thought provoking, bad guys are horribly cast with Agent Colson from avengers and SJP husband. I am sure much of this happened in real life and was shocked to find out this horrible drug is still available though with tighter restrictions.

See more Iris A @RT13093540 Aug 10, 2025 I felt that this series was masterfully done. I felt that the dramatization was entertaining and illuminating. I love that they also worked with people and families who have been affected by addiction. I can’t count how many people I know who have been prescribed opiates and it changed their life for the worse. I feel that this really shines a light on the exploitation of patients by the healthcare industry which also explains the general distrust of the healthcare industry. I feel that the way that this was filmed was compelling and educational. This is a story that needs to be told for the public protection. Companies need to be held accountable and things must change. The acting is fantastic. The narrative is heart rending. See more Travis B @RT03938002 Apr 17, 2025 Based on a true story, but ultimately nothing of real change or impact came from it. The opioid crisis remains a massive issue with no real resolution in sight. See more Sonja D @RT48600205 Sep 27, 2024 Damn what a great show! This is a must watch, See more Rhianna J @RT13734627 Jan 28, 2024 Unfortunately the good content gets lost in this messy and chaotic series. Choppy cinematography, aggressive soundtrack and grimy editing. This could have been better. See more Read all reviews
