These limited series are not evenly matched in storytelling, character development, and scope.
Both Netflix’s Painkiller and Hulu’s Dopesick tell of the rise and fall of Purdue Pharma and how they released the narcotic in pill form, OxyContin. Through fictionalized accounts and stylized historical accounts, these series break down the what, when, where, why, and how of the opioid crisis and how it was unleashed onto the unsuspecting public.
'Dopesick' Shows There Are More Victims Than Meet the Eye While there is definitely carnage in Painkiller, Dopesick seems to drive the point home slightly better than the former One Painkiller plot point that is left unexplored is when Tyler gives some of his friends his stepfather’s OxyContin with the ominous warning that the pills are really messing up the man they were prescribed to.
Dopesick’s Richard Sackler had been the black sheep of the overachieving, legacy-obsessed Sackler clan. Then, in order to be the hero at long last, or to seek revenge against his family’s ostracization, he developed OxyContin and the marketing behind it to keep Purdue Pharma in business. His only ally in the family was his cousin, Kathe , whom he openly supported when she came out as gay.
