One to watch.

Very well done with great actors! And probably hits home for most of us. Especially if you know Ohio, it just keeps getting worse. And losing people due to addiction isnt getting any less.:(

Only on Episode 2…but boy, an exceptional show. 5/5 Highly recommend.

It’s surprising how this transpired and how quickly it became an epidemic. Seriously the drug company and FDA needed to be held responsible for this but what was really surprising is how many road blocks law enforcement threw up. They had people wanting to investigate and look into it but there was a ton of red tape. Especially since it involved a big drug company and the medical industry. I’m on the 4th episode and really can’t wait for the next 4 episodes(read the Rolling Stone article on this and they stated it was an 8 episode series). What really gets me is the pharma companies not coming out commenting or trying to defend themselves on this show. Most of the time you will see companies come out and defend their product or at least make a comment about how it is “fiction”. Not seeing that currently, I guess time will tell if they decide to comment.

Not really surprising, FDA are bought. As far as drug companies go it’s their normal policy to avoid directly defending their products and blatant crimes, but instead have their flunkies at all levels do it for them.

You get the feeling from the show that the FDA is in the pockets of the drug companies. The thought is the FDA is there to protect the consumers but it seems from this that they are in the pockets of the drug companies. Are they there to make sure drug company liability is minimal to fiascos like OxyContin? No of course they are there to protect the consumers, yeah no issues in the government

Take a look at the CEO’s and boards of companies like Pfizer, J and J, and Merck. There are huge amounts of crossover between them and people who’ve served as directors in the FDA. It’s literally a revolving door.
Work for Pfizer, get hired at the FDA, then go back to Pfizer, then back to the FDA.
It’s so crooked it’s scary.

Holy crow Michael and Mare when did we get so old ? Thanks uploaders this is going to be good. I’m an opioid refugee myself so I’m looking very forward to binge watching this tonight yehaw

snazzydetritus 4 points 3 years ago.

“Opioid refugee”, I like that.

hants2 5 points 3 years ago.

old age ain’t no fun, but it beats the alternative

yellow_rose1 4 points 3 years ago.

I never felt it was no fun, in fact I am having the time of my life. I just was remarking how fast we got here😀

hants2 4 points 3 years ago.

I’m having the time of my life, but everything hurts more, arthritis is not our friend. I’ve got more freedom now then ever before, all of my responsibilities are all grown up or passed away years ago

yellow_rose1 4 points 3 years ago.

I hear you honey, I’m on a drug called Cosentyx now. It’s a biologic that I inject. It is helping my joints maybe you could look into something like that. I would never get hooked on another opioid it changes who you are as a person. I didn’t like that person at all and neither did my family

5/5 I had recent shoulder surgery and was prescribed 30 20mg capsules. My Doctors told me that my rehab would be extremely painful but I actually only took one after I awoke from surgery and one after I had the prescription refilled. I didn’t feel the need to take anymore because it really didn’t hurt that much.

I just finished episode 3 and just flushed the rest of that crap down the toilet. How are they even still prescribing this? If I designed a seat belt that had a 1/1000 of a death rate I just know that I would be in jail for the rest of my life let alone get away with what they pulled.

Do we even have a justice system?

This show could be as additive as what Big Pharma is selling.

Are you enjoying Buddy? I’m almost done. I would give it a 5/5. What would you give it?

I just read this morning that there were 100,000 deaths from drug overdoses in 2020. It’s sickening. This show scared the bejeezus out of me. I wish it were available more widely to allow a greater audience to learn about the influence Pharm has on local, state and federal governments. Was it you who said it’s a Weapon of Mass Destruction? It most certainly is and how has NO government since the 80s been able to even make a dent in any of the epidemics starting with meth?

I know many helpful solutions can be put into place, but one of them, as the show acknowledges, is that people don’t want rehab clinics in their communities. The irony is that about 1 out of 4 people suffer from addiction be it alcohol, prescription or street drugs. Everyone knows someone who is affected by addiction. So it’s better to keep it inside the walls of homes and let it rage rather than put up a clinic? Ridic!

starphlo 2 points 1 year ago. 5/5 stars.

This is a story very well told. I”m from coal country of Appalachia and didn’t know they specifically targeted there. What absolute horrible people. I’ve had friends and family die, get put in jail and otherwise ruin their lives. There are no methodone clinics back in those hills either. Last I heard (I moved away years ago) they were trying to get one 30 min from my hometown.
Keaton was fantastic in this (“Don’t you think it might be just a tad more addictive?”). Some great writing. Michael Stulbarg did a chilling portrayal of Richard Stackler.

biker_71 1 points 1 year ago. 5/5 stars.

binged this today after watching painkiller. shows how crooked things are, crazy to think that not one person was locked up for the damage done through blatant lies.

Merrigan Able 0 points 3 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Keaton was great in this top notch series! The Sackler family should be stripped of all their wealth, and be imprisoned for life… (I would say hang them all, but we don’t solve problems like that anymore, which is too bad).
