Dopesick (TV Mini Series)

The series takes viewers to the epicenter of America's struggle with opioid addiction, from the boardrooms of Purdue Pharma, to a distressed Virginia mining community, to the hallways of the DEA.

 

This Mini Series is outstanding.

 

FUN FACT:  In preparation for his role as attorney Rick Mountcastle, Peter Sarsgaard went to Dayton (OH) where he accompanied local police on ride-alongs, hung out with active opioid users, talked with afflicted family members and support groups, and went to a jail where he observed users trying to dry out. He has said that the hands-on experience transformed his perspective and imbued him with more empathy and understanding for the victims of the epidemic.
