Matthew Broderick is the best part of the show. Not his character, just him. Who doesn't love to see him in anything? He's a national treasure. But that's it. Just him. He's the only reason I rated it a five. Why was this show even made? So they could make the true story look like some cool edgy mini series? Because the show's creators even failed at that. The end result was just an over the top cheese fest. I could barely get through it. I cringed almost the entire time I was watching.
The actress who played Shannon did a terrible acting job. Who did she appease to gain that part? And aside from Broderick, the whole cast was difficult to watch. The female lead, Aduba, overacted the entire series. I found her annoying, not talented. Which is most likely the director's fault, not hers.
The story of how the opioid crisis happened is an interesting enough story without adding all the extra filler scenes they did in this. Short clips of random bombs, exorcisms, and whatever else they threw at us were beyond unnecessary. Obnoxious even.
The scene that really lost me was when Shannon, the pharma rep, just happened to be in the perfect place at the perfect time to witness a sweet innocent teenager she knew, scoring a prescription, going to the pharmacy, sniffing drugs, then crashing a car. All in one shot. That ridiculous scene only succeeded at showcasing how clueless the director and writers are.
Netflix no longer creates quality shows. It's all cheesy garbage that'll make you cringe. I'm at my limit for cheesy Netflix shows, I will no longer give anything they produce a chance.

This was once one of my favorite shows. Then they came up with that ridiculous season four. Cliched and predictable with episodes that didn't need to exist. The ending of the season was awful. Who thought that was a good idea? I hope they fix it in season five. June has become unlikable and selfish. What was once a show I couldn't get enough of, now is just a show I don't even look forward to. I will say however that the acting is incredible. Every character is complicated and convincing. The writers just screwed up season four.
This is one of the best shows of all time. It's something you've never seen before, which is tough to do these days. Every character is likable, even when you don't like them. Home lander is the perfect villain, there's something charming about him in a twisted sociopathic way. Stormfront was a good villain too, the actress did a fantastic job playing her. The second season was a little too political, but at least they made light of it. I have to fast forward some of the gore scenes, and they throw the F word in every other sentence. But I still love this show and consider it one of my favorites. I've seen a couple reviews complain about Hugie, I like Hugie. He adds balance to a dark comedy. I highly recommend this show, if you can get past abundance of gore.
