If you're unfamiliar with the opioid epidemic that began in the 90s and led to what now makes up over 75% of all overdose deaths in the US, this may be the show for you. Painkiller, starring Uzo Aduba, Matthew Broderick, Taylor Kitsch, and West Duchovny, is a docudrama with very clear good guys and villains. If you've seen Dopesick, be prepared for the same story. On this podcast, we review the plot of the pilot, the acting, the production, and make our comparisons. The series was created by the duo behind A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and every episode was directed by Peter Berg (FNL). Tune in and enjoy!
