I remember being shamed for not being aggressive enough about prescribing opiates. It always seemed unlikely to me that this was non-addictive. The evidence was all around me that it was.
This series is well done but I found the time shifts (even though clearly marked by the timeline) were needlessly confusing.
This story needs to continue to be told until the Sackler family themselves are truly brought to justice. The toll of this saga is overwhelming. Opiates are important drugs. We need them for some circumstances. But these drugs alter the brain circuitry and that is what makes them so dangerous for chronic use.
This is but one example of the harm done by pharma promotion. Sadly, there are many many others.
(I put no spoilers since this story is totally in the public domain at this time and I doubt that anyone choosing to watch would be caught off guard by the trajectory of the movie.)
