"Dopesick" For Dummies
Dopesick is/was a phenomenal must-watch series for anyone interested in a more realistic portrayal of this tragedy.
That said, Uzo Aduba and Taylor Kitsch deliver amazing performances. Broderick is fine, but otherwise not really noticeable. Duchovny and Blanche are clearly trying to punch above their weight-some scenes are outright eye-rolling.
But overall, if you have no knowledge of the uniquely American opioid epidemic, this is as good a place to start, as any. What the Sacklers and Purdue did in the 90's and 00's was utterly psychopathic behaviour. The effects of which continue to kill people, today.
