It's main flaw was being on Hulu, who doesn't promote their shyt well. Neither does Netflix
Dopesick would've been bigger on a network like ABC. But with the subject matter I doubt it would be on ABC

1: the destruction of the American middle class
2. Corporations being super greedy
Neither will play well in the heartland
Dopesick won a decent amount of awards, but PainKiller will get more views because it's sensationalizes the whole thingIt's main flaw was being on Hulu, who doesn't promote their shyt well. Neither does Netflix

Watched Painkiller today. I enjoyed it. Gonna watch Dopesick tomorrow most likely.

His step kid's decision to play around and be an idiot basically led him on that path.
I watched Painkiller first then circled back to Dopesick. I thought Dopesick was very well done and did a bit of a better job of showing how Purdue specifically targeted blue collar communities due to the nature of their work.
It always surprises me that stuff like this isn’t a bigger deal. I think white people shy away from showing their hardships and dysfunction. But we can get a million shows showing Black people doing bad and strung out. Just like people act like Season 2 of The Wire doesn’t exist.

Word. I though the son was the one who would get hooked
The biggest takeaway from these shows is how truly fukked this whole system is. Like, yes, the Sacklers suck but all the things in place to stop them were steamrolled because our entire country is set up in a way for that shyt to happen. Government officials and politicians not doing their jobs for hopes of personal financial gain was the most infuriating part of this shyt to me.
I’m not an antivaxxer but it always rubbed me the wrong way the way a lot of genuinely skeptical people were shyt on for having pause and doubts when it comes to taking the vaccine as if any of these people should be trusted. And I’m saying this as someone who took the shot.

Watching Dopesick now. Great show, really interesting.
The TV trope of people always saying profound things at AA meetings is funny. Most meetings are not like that at all.

American Crime had a kind of similar vibe.
painkiller is a good watch, but dopesick was better
