Review of Dopesick

Dopesick (2021)
5/10
Great Story, but Flawed Storytelling
15 February 2022
I followed the case against Purdue Pharma as it unfolded. It is a compelling story with some clear miscreants and a few heros. Unfortunately, the direction gave it a distinct "After-School Special" vibe.

Jumping around in time was well-labelled, fortunately, but made the story more difficult to follow.

The acting was okay by the leads, but some of the supporting actors had trouble being convincing. It was watchable, but not great.
