bets10 güncel giriş. Michael Stahlbarg is probably the best actor ever now, show was the last straw to decide his genius.
Michael Keaton is a 10/10 and the writing is top tier. I'm pretty shocked.

Dopesick watchseries. I found this show rather slow and too predictable. The changing timelines didn't help, build any intrigue or suspense. Perhaps if you're personally affected, the show might appeal. As a neutral viewer, the first 2 episodes was all I could stomach. Maybe the fact I just watched the last series of Goliath which tackled the same subject matter from a legal perspective and managed to build suspense. I found this boring and all I could manage was the first 2 episodes.
3 episodes in and I'm definitely enjoying this new Hulu show! The acting is wonderful. The flashbacks haven't been confusing. The information on how OxyContin got it's start is incredible.
Don't watch this show if your are addicted to binge watching tv shows, because this show will get you hooked. The story is a time lapse (going forward and backward in timeline). I'm a Big Fan of Micheal Keaton movies, Will Poulter, and other cast do a great job. Would definitely recommend this show.
One thing that many of the negative reviewers forget when they go on their current-day diatribes about big pharm is that this movie STARTS over 20 years ago. Pharmaceuticals weren't as they are today. It shows how the door was allowed to open, causing this country to be in the situation we're in today with the Big Parm and incessant pill pushing. MONEY TALKS. Nothing else matters. Not the FDA, CDC, you name the letters. $$$ This method of running a planet needs to stop!
Michael Keaton is, as always, very good. We are blessed that he came back to doing what he does best. This series is honest, emotional, raw, sad and frightening. Do the one month free subscription to HULU and watch it. (and Only Murders in the Building. But that's another review :)
Interesting subject. I'm 65, in pretty good shape. I have a basic mistrust of medicine in general. Have zero prescriptions, have had very few over the years. I talk to folks my age and older and the amount of prescription drugs they take is staggering. I'm not anti-vax just anti-drug. This movie will prove to me something I've suspected, rather known for years. Big Pharma ain't our friend.
