Dopesick (2021)
4/10
Predictable and flat characters
7 January 2022
I know that saying it's predictable is easy when it's based on real events but in terms of the character development and their choices there's not much new to find in this show.

If you're up for some easy TV with a dramatized real story, then Dopesick is a good show.

For me, this was a waste of time. I don't understand how characters could be as boring as in this series, especially the two attorney guys. I was never surprised and it felt like most scenes were pointless.

The dialogue is dull and cliche to dramatized stories. The music is too serious and wants the viewer to care and in my case, they failed completely.

I will give them some credits on very good acting performances and the fact that it sheds light on an important story. It's just a pity that they didn't achieve in other aspects.

An example of series that succeeds in taking itself seriously when depicting real events is Chernobyl.
