Dopesick

gregorio_arganda shared a tip "Dopesick is America's opioid crisis from the perspective of patients, doctors and the pharmaceutical company men and women who spread them. One interesting sad reality that I loved to get to see is even the prescribing doctors can potentially get hooked tp the opiods they prescribed to patients with chronic pain."

danielle_henry_6987 shared a tip "Will both break your heart at all the lives lost to addiction and the families affected and then make you so angry at how the Sackler family has continued to get away with murder, keeping their hands and their billions clean. Watched who’s after I read Empire of Pain which follows the Sackler family and their introduction of OxyContin to the world. Highly recommend both the book and the show."

damien_scott shared a tip "Such a rough journey but worth the ride. Dawson, Sarsgaard and especially Keaton give great performances. This will make you angry but will give you hope that the good fight is being fought."

samantha_blizzard shared a tip "The acting in this was so good. Moving story. It was nice to see Michael Keaton again, his performance in this show is noteworthy. Definitely worth a watch!"

bobby_moore_807 shared a tip "Having family members that struggled and or are struggling with the opioid crisis…hits hard. Loved this eye opening series on what started it All…"

jodi- shared a tip "Stayed up way too late to finish this series. It was gripping. Such a tragic, terrible and relatable look at the oxy epidemic, and the greed of big pharma."

ericka_billings shared a tip "I have mixed feelings on this, I got into watching this because it is based on an actual event, but it is also a scary situation. Definitely great acting in this show."

erik_gitau shared a tip "It's hard to think rich people would destroy people's lives and desolate communities to make a buck if they're given the option. Who would of thought that could possibly have happened?"

plain_julia shared a tip "This series was so well done and the actors were AMAZING. You definitely have to be in the right mindset to watch this because it’s very real and truthful to what we are dealing with in the pharmaceutical world. All of these actors deserve and award."

wahsatch_outdoors shared a tip "Great story of a real problem in our country. If you live in a state where nalaxone is legal to have, find out how to get trained in its use and then keep it with you."

taylor_dudley shared a tip "The acting from the entire cast was beyond amazing! It was so heartbreaking to see what happens to the doctor after seeing how caring and wholesome he was toward everyone. It really showed that drugs really change people you never thought could act so differently. A must-watch but make sure to have something light to follow it!"

randy_ostro shared a tip "Not for the faint of heart. Tough to watch not just for the graphic nature but also the depression and sadness that surrounds the series."

Serena.Messner shared a tip "This series was well done showing how OxyContin quickly took hold of a community (and our country) and places big pharma’s greed namely Purdue and the Sackler family center stage. Michael Keaton and Kaitlyn Dever should be nominated for their performances."

linda_sherrin shared a tip "Loved it! Very informative! Great performance by Michael Keaton! Sad to think of all the people we have lost to it. Big pharma kills ppl with greed!"

lorisa_griffith shared a tip "Didn't expect to find myself sobbing while watching this. So many lives destroyed over corporate greed. #drama #drugabuse #addiction #docudrama"

christinakelton shared a tip "Purdue Pharma is exposed in this riveting, fast-paced drama. I was hooked in the first ten minutes. While the main characters are fictional, they're amalgamations of the victims of the opioid crisis created by OxyContin, and you'll be pulling for them the whole way."

lawen_sup shared a tip "Jolted me with familiarity of this past decade. From my friends, my family, and recently myself- pain management has been a gamble in the US. Struggles were portrayed so vividly. Great show."

philstanford70_. shared a tip "I've dealt with opioid addiction and this show could not be more truthful, I remember the pill mills and corrupt Drs, this show really shines a light on the creators of Oxys and how greedy they were amazing show."

nicnojo shared a tip "Unbelievable but true story of the sick twisted journey of OxyContin. Michael Keaton is excellent. Everyone should watch this with an open eye towards big pharma!!!!!!"

stacie_craig shared a tip "If I was going to recommend just one show out of everything I have seen over the past decade, it would be Severance on Apple TV. It is excellent."

colleen_scidmore shared a tip "I’ve watched a couple of episodes and this is really good. A little too good. Watching it is a bit hard but wonderful cast and brilliant acting!"

ken_laney shared a tip "good based on fact story.... lets you see how it all happened... and how no its an epidemics that is just now getting some justice"

moonfemme shared a tip "Basically a cartel show right? Just finished this up, I love how they zoomed in on individuals story’s so you can really see the impact over time. This was a wild ride any thoughts?"

sweetjoygossett shared a tip "This series is eye-opening. To anyone who underwent pain management in the late ‘90s - early 2000s needs to see it in its entirety. I am appalled at my country, but I understand so much more about the course my doctors have taken with my treatment over the years of my illness. It is also a must watch for anyone whose life has been touched by addiction. If you’re reading this and in that fight, I want you to know that I’m on your side. I believe in you. Choose life. You are loved."

scott_friend shared a tip "Incredible depiction of a real life struggle. I grew up in Kentucky, I also spent ten years of my life hooked on oxy and heroin. When I wasn’t crying my eyes out, I was furious. But most of all, I felt in a way vindicated. That all the pain I went thru was not entirely my fault. For the first time I could forgive myself. And that was incredibly powerful. A company, it’s people and the government were all allowing myself and millions more to get high, hooked, and dopesick."

tami_reichel shared a tip "Highly recommend! So many of us have personally been affected, lives destroyed, by opioids. It also exposes the gaslighting within the medical/pharm field. I woke up to big Pharm bull over 10 yrs ago, wish more people could."

r_reed_cheatham shared a tip "An incredibly moving and powerful series that provides great insight into some of the causes of the opioid epidemic and the inadequate resources available to those fighting opioid addiction. Great performances across the board."

raquel_rojas-castil shared a tip "Love this show! It portrays the problem with opioids and how it’s affecting this nation. The dramatization is great! Highly recommended."

christina_verderame shared a tip "Portrays the opiate epidemic with honesty and gives a voice for those who became addicted. Hopefully will help spread knowledge and reduce stigma.#addiction #recovery"

lauren_spencer_8977 shared a tip "great series covering the tragedies of the opioid crisis. i’m pro vaccine, but this series gives the antivaxxers a hell of an argument"

kim_4731 shared a tip "This is a good drama based on real life events about big pharma and the opioid crisis in small towns. It's not too heavy or depressing because it tells like a story. But, it will leave you thinking. Very well done."

julia_steele_9729 shared a tip "A little dramatized at some moments but for the most part tells a very compelling narrative. Would recommend Googling some of what the show presents as fact as not all of the characters and stories are rooted in real people or facts. Still beautifully made, acted, and written, would definitely recommend."

sergway shared a tip "Very well done. Impeccable performance across the board. The series really pulls you into what happened and at your heartstrings. 10/10"

emily_doskow shared a tip "suuuch a good show. the trial layered with anecdotes and real stories keep the show intense while being informative. definitely changes your perspective on the opioid crisis. highly recommend"
