Well, this as far as genuine medication is concerned, and that trust can be misused as much as it aids humanity. There is a lot of trust that patients have on the medical fraternity, and the medical fraternity does the same on pharmaceutical companies, medical representatives and the regulatory bodies.
And the same goes for the side effects, which could be critical. Humans as subjects are rarely aware of how dependent an over the counter or even a prescribed drug can make you, more so when the disability or ailment is chronic. "Dopesick" provides a detailed context on the why's, the when's, the who's and other questions. The ensemble boasts of a cast including Michael Keaton, Michael Stuhlbarg, Rosario Dawson, Peter Sarsgaard, Kaitlyn Dever and Will Poulter.įor the uninitiated, Oxycontin and generally opioids have been under a lot of scrutiny from ongoing cases and lawsuits, specifically against Purdue pharma.
The story is rolled out majorly through fictional characters in the flow of inception, manufacture to the point of consumption and the fatal effects of addiction to the drug. But the on-screen depiction of Beth Macy's book, "Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America" is deservedly underplayed from a drama perspective and stays on point. There has been a recent focus from streaming series on the pharmaceutical industry, opioids and the shady goings on in the manufacture and passage through to market of these drugs namely the final season of "Goliath" and "Human".
