I do not like to watch many dramas, but I knew this would be important.

Ignore the low reviews if you agree Big Pharma is the business of staying in business, even if it means death or addiction.

From Danny Strong to Kaitlyn Dever to Rosario Dawson, this cast is excellent.

The episodes and timelines are confusing to me. That did not discourage me from learning more about the Real Drug War.

The variety of oxycontin victim backgrounds is solid as well.

I hope this show wins awards and informs many of pharmaceutical addiction and death.

This series is excellent. As a sober addict I have a very discerning eye when it comes to all film and tv addressing addiction. That said this show is excellent.

The characters are real and legitimate examples of how addiction grabs a community with a strangle hold and won't let go.

This is some of the best acting across the board, I've seen for a while Michael deserved his Emmy and Kaitlyn Dever is an excellent breakout star. You will want to CHOKE Richard Sackler by the end. Looses one star because the constant going back and forth in time wears a little thin

In total Purdue made 34 BILLION dollars off of the addiction of the American people.

If they are not the lowest, most disgusting putrid company ever, I don't know what is.

A must watch!

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.

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.

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.
