Painkiller

Petr Berg and Matthew Broderick were the biggest draw for me. But in the end, it was completely about something else. About the story itself, which may really only arise in America due to its stupidity. On a continent with unlimited opportunities for anyone who knows how to seize them correctly. And the mastermind of the commercial use of Oxycontin knew that too. At times, I felt like in the series I heard nothing but the name of this "medicine", so I feel like I will never forget that name. But I will also not forget the absurdity and insanities in those six episodes of this miniseries, where you wouldn't believe that people are capable of committing such acts. And apparently they are. A crazy story from the world of pharmaceuticals. How many of them exist and how many of them have come to light for filmmakers to tell about. (12/10/2023)
