i just finished watching dopesick, and i am so so heartbroken and aghast. the scene where the doctor asks to see billy again while in rehab and then tries to get pills from him made my mouth drop open. betsy’s family finding out about her death had me bawling. the actions of the sacklers and purdue pharma had me feeling like someone walked on my grace. not sure how much was real/embellished for the adaptation, but if even 1% of the purdue side of things was real, then fuck that company and that family and fuck the shitty regulations that allowed them to market such an addictive drug so easily. also fuck the way its made me wonder how much of the world around us is made up of shitty people willing to turn a blind eye for their own profit.

'Painkiller' vs. 'Dopesick': Which Series Tackles the Opioid Crisis Better?"

Painkiller is a show with a story that we have all heard before. Perhaps we have not heard the exact story of Purdue Pharma but we have heard about opiod addiction and those responsible for it.

Painkiller is the second attempt at this story. Dopesick did it first and frankly did it better. That does not make Painkiller a bad show. It is very informative, and the cast is very good, but Dopesick got to these dramatic beats first and handled them in a more resonating way.

Both series feature the Sackler family as they were the real-life family at the center of the crisis. Richard Sackler, to be precise, was the president of Purdue Pharma and the main push behind OxyContin. Played in Painkiller by Matthew Broderick and in Dopesick by Michael Stuhlbarg. It is Broderick who gets that edge simply because they explored the more sublte nuances, and the visions of his egomaniac uncle Arthur, played by Clark Gregg, helped heigten the performance.

As far as the rest of the story, Dopesick handled that better. In Dopesick, you have a young girl who receives an injury at a mine. Kaitlyn Dever is phenomenal in that role, and Michael Keaton starred as a doctor who himself got addicted to OxyContin. Keaton as Dr. Finnix had much more of a plot than any one doctor did in Painkiller. In Painkiller, they presented the doctors as easy to manipulate by the seduction and enticing of the beautiful young women who made up Purdue's sales force.

Both featured real-life prosecutor storylines, and Dopesick handled that much better as well. Dopesick was much better thought out as an individual story while tackling the larger issue with the Sacklers. Painkiller tried to rely on more striking visuals and less development pertaining to the characters that made up the overall narrative. The Sackler family is one component of the story. While Broderick turned in a great and memorable performance, the rest of the cast of Painkiller felt forgotten, and that is due in large part to Dopesick telling this story so well.

The real tragedy here was and still remains the staggering number of people who are addicted to prescription painkiller medicines. Purdue Pharma is one instance of big pharma greed, but we need more education on addiction itself. Both shows were not afraid to show you how bad it was on the streets and just how addictive OxyContin is. As it is referred to in the series, it was like selling "Heroine in a pill form" and the real sadness stems from the fact so many deaths went ignored so one family could line their pockets.

Rosario Dawson was born on May 9, 1979, in New York City. Her mother, Isabel Celeste, is of Puerto Rican, Taíno, Cuban and African ancestry. Isabel was 17 years old when Rosario was born; she never married Rosario's biological father, Patrick C. Harris. When Dawson was a year old, Isabel married Greg Dawson, a construction worker. Isabel and Greg moved into a reclaimed building on East 13th Street after being approved as members of an affordable housing plan. The family later moved to Garland, Texas.

As a child, Dawson made a brief appearance on Sesame Street. At the age of 15, she was discovered on her front-porch step by photographer Larry Clark and Harmony Korine, with Korine deciding that she was perfect for a part he had written in his screenplay for the controversial 1995 film Kids. 

Dawson had several roles in film and television adaptations of comic books. These include Gail in Sin City (2005) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014), Claire Temple in five of the Marvel Netflix series (2015–2018), and providing the voices of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman in the DC Animated Movie Universe and Space Jam: A New Legacy and Barbara Gordon / Batgirl in The Lego Batman Movie. In 2020, she portrayed Ahsoka Tano in the second season of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and stars in Disney+ original series Ahsoka. In 2021, she had a recurring role in the Dwayne Johnson autobiographical comedy series Young Rock and a main role in the Hulu miniseries Dopesick.

[spaceoperetta]

getting my first aid/cpr certification done at a fire station was a) half the price of the red cross, b)there were absolutely no videos, and c)at the end the firefighter running it brought out a truly robocop CPR machine that cost fifteen thousand dollars and hammers on your chest exactly two inches like a hydraulic press.

the first aid section was less regimented so it included putting a $40 military tourniquet on the firefighter instructor's arm - previous first aid classes usually talk about theory but he was like 'nah yeah go ahead and put it on my arm.' Also included, opiate overdose information, recommending we watch Dopesick (Hulu), and the firefighter finding a use for the fake arm and fake blood so after my traditional favorite part of first aid (wrapping my sibling's arm in gauze), we held the fake artery closed with a finger and stuffed gauze in a fake bullet hole.

I still remember watching first aid videos in school so old that they explained what 911 is. (help, help, call EMS, that's nine one one!)

Who was nominated that year? I’m old and can’t remember lol /

Jeremy Irons, Hugh Jackman, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Pope, Paul Mescal. Ruffalo won.

I'm salty that Andrew lost in 2022. Not many people watched his show, Under the Banner of Heaven (think it's on Hulu) but he was fucking phenomenal. They gave the award to Dopesick.

Meh I don’t really like ruffalo he’s kinda boring 🫣

Andrew was great in that show he definitely should’ve won
