It's Hulu. I just signed into my account and it was right on the front page/home screen under tv shows.

Thank goodness. I probably looked under movies. But I did find American Rust, the other show I want to see. Now I only need to pay for one service. Thanks for answering.

I want to watch that. What a disgusting company Purdue is. They knew all along they didn't have one single study to prove it would work for 12 hours. 8 hours was the max people got pain relief. Drs believed,and patients believed they could take less medicine per day and it was all a lie.

It makes me even madder that they admitted things in court that the judge allowed them to seal. So no one will ever know how many ways they lied.

They didn't have to claim any responsibility or wrong doing. They have to pay out 26 billion dollars. A slap on the hand. THEN, they upstarted another company, remade the same medicine in a different shape, renamed it, and are now back to selling it under a "front company" that they own. The "front company" only makes 1 drug....the reformulated drug they got sued for.

Most crooked big Pharma company ever (or maybe not, maybe they are the only ones who got caught). That trial is an interesting read but I would like to see how they are portrayed it in the movie.

I'm watching this now and it's very, very good and very, very sad and makes me extremely mad that this company was allowed to manipulate the system in order to increase their profits with nary a care about the lives they've destroyed. They knew this drug was just as addictive as any other opioid yet they marketed it as a new wonder drug with minimal side effects. I don't know how these monsters sleep at night.

We just learned about the Dopesick series and began watching this weekend. It's maddening indeed. I read it's based on true events but I wonder how much artistic license the writers took? So horrible.
