Dopesick, Michael Keaton, Hulu, Disney+
Since the early 2000’s the united states has found its self in the midst of an opioide crisis. Crime levels had reached unprecedented levels and big pharma was recording billions of dollars in profit. Dopesick looks at the origins of that crisis, from the incentivized sales team who are primed to aggressivly push doctors to prescribe it to patients for minor to major health conditions, opiodes where the answer. Only when there were large amounts of addics who would go to any length to get their hit did the problem really come to the fore. Now I have to confess I'm not a big Michael Keaton fan, I watched Birdman in the cinema and walked out. But in this he's actually ok. It's a fascinating look at big pharma and how it's had an effect on society at large. Its also a lesson that was learned the hard way. Have fun stay safe 👍
