El farmacéutico

I really liked the main character in this series, the narrator of this story. Dan Schneider. Well... It's actually not one, but two connected stories: one of his sons death and one of the sequential mission work that followed. Such a unique and special guy and an overall interesting and fascinating story.

Purdue pharmacy ruined the lives of countless Americans pushing heroin as a prescription drug.

This documentary effectively shows the local and national effects going thru the lens of 'the pharmacist'. The execs at Purdue and the FDA have blood on their hands.

It's truly disgusting what greed and no moral compass can drive people to do. Truly sickening. I hope kids can watch this and avoid opiates, because once you start it's really hard to stop.

Having come to terms with the killing of his son, Pharmacist Dan spots dangerous irregularities in the prescribing of wonder drug oxycontin, he begins his quest to tackle a Doctor, who's handing them out like sweets.

This is without a doubt, one of the best documentaries I've seen on Netflix, it's an insightful, no holds barred, emotional series, which explains one man's battles for the truth, for justice, he dares to take on the big boys.

Very well made, edited and put together, it links up well, and each episode is different, it progresses well, each episode providing a base for the following one.

Dan, I salute you, , definitely something of a crusader, you can't help but wonder how many more would have died, had he not pushed and pushed.

I'd heard of oxycontin, but I had no idea just how bad things had gotten with it, staggering the people involved, the corruption etc.

I applaud Netflix for making this, it's not often you hear of any criticism of the big pharmaceuticals, this series doesn't pull its punches.

Staggering, 9/10.

This is an awesome documentary about a father who pursues the killer of his son and ends up finding a larger calling. Intelligent and meticulous...one man CAN make a difference.

It's pretty rare to see the story of a person who has actually acted to make a difference and change the world. Dan's story is just that. At times it's easy to dismiss him as a bit of a wacko who's struggling to keep going after a huge loss and gets carried away, but I think that might be because it's hard to imagine caring so deeply about something that you're willing to go to extreme lengths to make it happen. Absolutely heartbreaking, but also incredibly beautiful.
