2 episodes in. Solid cast, solid acting, solid writing, and solid story. Give it a shot

I binged the 3 episodes that were out last night and liked it.

It is more interesting than a straight Purdue doc. I am curious if Richard Sackler ia as odd of a duck as he is being portrayed.

Yeah, going to watch this tomorrow. Very excited for this. Looks like an American Chernobyl. It’s about time the Sackler were exposed to the common man. Most evil family in American history bar none.

Here’s the thing about the Sacklers: they’re extremely secretive and most people don’t know what they’re truly like behind closed doors. The only time they’ve spoken openly is when summoned by Congress and the State. Richard, his two sons, and his sister have never been interviewed by a journalist as far as I’m aware, and few photos of the Sacklers exist outside of their summons. So it actually allows some creativity from the show runners since no one knows how they actually are behind closed doors save for being pure evil.

Every time they’ve been brought forward they have been called the most evil family in American history to their faces. Romanov treatment is justified, the only difference being no one will feel bad for them.

EDIT: Seriously Google “Most Evil Family in America”. The Sacklers pop up in all the Top 17. The hatred for them is bipartisan.

There used to be one in Houston like that for Roxys. There was a place right by my house that you could get 120 Lortaba and 90 somas if you had an mri.

If you're into that sort of thing there's a docuseries on Netflix called the Pharmacist that's pretty damn good if you haven't seen it.

Oh forget about it…watch that doc on the New Orleans pain doc that had people sleeping in their cars waiting for their scripts and NO police acting as bouncers and door guards.

Hollywood simply cannot help themselves once again. 30 minutes in and we have:

Evil & Greedy Capitalist
Weak suffering white doctor
Biracial Lesbian miners
Cute Interracial District Attorney family

Kentucky was rough in 1995

If there’s an evil and greedy capitalist who has ever lived, it’s the Sacklers. These guys are the real deal. One of the few bipartisan views left in this country is that the Sacklers are the most evil family in America and intentionally destroyed the country and murdered hundreds of thousands/millions of people.

No doubt but they are really in the same class of "businessmen" that have produced opium, heroin, cocaine, alcohol etc..for centuries.


I would almost bet good ole Jack Daniels has cause more damage but nobody's gone after Gentleman Jack.

While I admit its addictive, alcohol is not even close to the addictive levels of opioids and the companies that sell alcohol don't disguise it to the masses as medicine or non-addictive. Whole different level of evil bud.

I thought the same thing!

"Why are you going after the chicken guy?"

That was so strange but it felt almost like it really happened that way and they felt obligated to write it in.

When the drug started failing due to tolerance, the answer was double the dosage. They called it (I shite you not) "Break through pain".

I think I may have heard something similar in the recent past?

They need to do one on Xanax. 2012-2015 was hell for me in many ways

I've been enjoying the show thus far

Been really good do far. It's hard to watch at times because of how close to home this stuff hits. Shackler's are some evil pieces of shite though.
