Accrocs

This so clearly explains why my husband was given OxyContin after breaking his back. The dose initially helped, then it didn't. The doctor quickly increased his dosage. This continued to happen until he was at 100mg. At that point, the doctors are only drug dealers. I wrote letters to my husband's doctor explaining he was semi conscious on a good day. It all fell on deaf ears and this series explains why. I almost lost my husband, I lost the marriage I knew and he lost all respect from his daughters. Fortunately, he was arrested for a DUI, without harming anyone. I made him plead guilty, so he could experience every thing he had risked. That was his rock bottom. He has been off OxyContin for almost 5 years. Yet doctors are still trying to prescribe OxyContin for his chronic pain. I hope this series helps everyone see OxyContin is a horribly addictive and ineffective pain medication.

I do not like to watch many dramas, but I knew this would be important.

Ignore the low reviews if you agree Big Pharma is the business of staying in business, even if it means death or addiction.

From Danny Strong to Kaitlyn Dever to Rosario Dawson, this cast is excellent.

The episodes and timelines are confusing to me. That did not discourage me from learning more about the Real Drug War.

The variety of oxycontin victim backgrounds is solid as well.

I hope this show wins awards and informs many of pharmaceutical addiction and death.

One thing that many of the negative reviewers forget when they go on their current-day diatribes about big pharm is that this movie STARTS over 20 years ago. Pharmaceuticals weren't as they are today. It shows how the door was allowed to open, causing this country to be in the situation we're in today with the Big Parm and incessant pill pushing. MONEY TALKS. Nothing else matters. Not the FDA, CDC, you name the letters. $$$ This method of running a planet needs to stop!

Michael Keaton is, as always, very good. We are blessed that he came back to doing what he does best. This series is honest, emotional, raw, sad and frightening. Do the one month free subscription to HULU and watch it. (and Only Murders in the Building. But that's another review :)

One of the best Miniseries of the year if not the decade, i didn't want it to end, Extremely well Acted, Nicely Produced and flawlessly Directed. An Absolute Must See.

A really well done series that feels like a perfect reenactment that meets docu series. It was interesting and captured the entire story while still having its own style and great acting.
