this made me angry, man such emotion... and its a true story

I'm not one to take things at face value on the internet or in any media without checking but the lies the pharma company said to just sell more product seems so out of what I am capable of i can't believe this really happened.

Honestly makes me really question humanity and how some people can take advantage of others And I'm saying that as a 40YO, I'm not new to this thinking but man, and that's my point. This show really elicited some emotion in me.... good drama!

shocking

I want to say I'm not surprised by how manipulative Purdue Pharma was, but as the episodes progress, I'm more and more shocked every minute.

I've loved Kaitlyn Dever since her early days on Last Man Standing, but her acting in this show is phenomenal. And shows her range. Specifically, her in the last scene of this episode... her expressions had me so emotional. She conveyed so much with so little. It's sick what this drug does to people.

Dr. Finnix seems so genuine. And really cares for his patients. I'm scared for him.

I'm still trying for figure out if Richard Sackler actually believes if OxyContin is non addictive or not. He definitely doesn't care. But still, he talks about "curing pain"... its definitely a marketing strategy but still, he can't actually belive that it's non addictive??
