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.

Firstly, this mini series shows the cruel reality of our society. It shows how the Legal Drug Lords aka Pharmaceutical, sell poison to people who suffers from pain. The message is real and clear.

Second, drugs can relieve the pain, but not your soul. It's only temporal and with the time, you will need more and more. The more you take pills, the better for pharmaceutical industries.

Last, this mini series is a must to understand how Pharmaceutical bussines only wants to monetize your pain. They don't care about healing your soul.

Great mini series. Great acting. Real story. A must. Time to wake up and stop the over use of pills.

Very well done and another example of how messed up the medical system in the US really is in almost every area. Overun with lawyers, charlatans, liars, cheats and thieves. ALthough not specific to just big pharma it also shows again the incestuous relationship between the 1% and the governing bodies. Whether its lobbying,marketing or whatever else they call it this decade, the corruption is totally embedded within our system. The movie is a teaser, go look at the real investigations for an even more worrying story.

This series does a great job of showing the complicity of big pharma, FDA and politicians in the opioid crisis.

Many reviewers are not quite getting the point: OxyContin was addictive and the FDA failed to properly test the drug before allowing Purdue to write their own label, basically. Once they started bumping up dosage for counter the totally fake "breakthrough pain" nonsense, it created a whole army of addicts. That led to an increase in crime to obtain opiates, either more Oxy or even heroin.

The series nails Purdue to the floor good and proper. The Sacklers come across as a repugnant family who can't even get on with each other.

The acting is top-notch and the cinematography is also excellent. The timeline jumping around can be a bit confusing if you don't pay attention, but it's nothing too onerous.

All in all, a great watch that tells a shocking story of greed and corruption.

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.
