Review of Painkiller

Painkiller (2023)
7/10
Another perspective

Glad to see Uzo Aruba with a solid role after OITNB. Two episodes in, I'm definitely into it. It's a very different tone than "Dopesick," but that's okay - why would we need two shows with the same take?

I think this will resonate with different audiences, which is good: more people need to hear this story and how this drug became mainstream!

The drug cheerleaders are a bit 2D. I'm also having trouble with Matthew Broderick being an old guy. When did that happen? That's not right!

It's highly watchable, even if not as "good" as Dopesick. We'll see if they manage to stick the landing, but I'm into it so far.
