It’s all in the title. Why? Big Pharma pays the bills. It seems to me that these shows would never be green lit.
Why now? (Or 2 years ago, these take time to make.)
This is literally a question I said out loud to my wife this morning, we are going to start watching Dopesick tonight (I love Michael Keaton) and it just hit me as odd. (If you follow Goliath on Amazon, the storyline this final season also follows a fictional company who made a shit ton on Opiods.)
It just seems weird. I will have a better idea once I watch these shows completely, but thought maybe others had thoughts on this.
Perhaps because hearing about people struggling with opioid addiction is DEPRESSING. They want you depressed and focused on suffering and crisis.
