Warning ⚠️ this episode does mention drug use and overdose discretion is advised.
In this three part chapter I will be giving a synopsis on Hulu’s “Dopesick”. I will be discussing what they got right in regards to their telling of the case against Perdue Pharma and the Sackler family. I will also talk about what they got right in terms of the opioid crisis in this country.
In part 1 I will be going over the first three episodes and introducing some of the characters and the beginning of the case against the Sacklers. We are also introduced to the drug Oxy and given the line the pharmesutical reps are told to give Dr’s, that less than 1% will become addicted. We also begin to see the toll it takes on the people who were prescribed and how it in a short time brought the rise of overdose, crime typically associated with street drugs, and child abandonment.
Stay tuned for the next two parts where I will go over episodes 4-8.
