Saw the first 2 episodes.

It's pretty interesting and good cast - Michael Keaton, Rosario Dawson, Peter Sarsgaard and a bunch of other people. The kid who plays the sales guy is very good too.

It's the basic story of how Oxycontin became what it is. Michael Keaton plays a small-town mining doctor that starts to get wrapped up in it thinking he's helping people and how the Purdue pharma was essentially unregulated in the early stages of the rollout.

First 3 eps are up now.

I'll probably take a look at it. I love Michael Keaton.

He's really good in it so far.

Big Rosario Dawson fan, but Hulu may be the only streaming service I don't have. :eye:

She came a long way since Kids. For a long time I could only relate her and Sevigny to that movie. That movie horrified me.

I'd like to check it out. A lot of things on my radar screen so carving out time for it is the challenge.

Netflix has a documentary on this—“The Pharmacist.” Only 3 or 4 parts. Very well done, and cool how an average pharmacist noticed what was going on prior to the FDA.

I really recommend this series. It's very good.

It's like Justified and The Untouchables combined with a bit of The Wire.

Purdue Pharma is the mob.

Saw the interview with Keaton last weekend on 60 Minutes. Forgot about some of his favorite roles like Pacific Heights and The Dream Team. It's been a long time since I have seen it but his movie My Life always gets me teary eyed. That is one of his best if you haven't seen it. I will try to check this out
