Painkiller or Dopesick? Which is more truthful?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Delving into the opioid epidemic that plagued America, both Hulu's Dopesick and Netflix's Painkiller have emerged as effective dramatic explorations on the real-life medical tragedy. While Dopesick released to much acclaim and multiple Emmy nominations in 2021, Painkiller sought to dramatize the same story, albeit from different perspectives.
Dopesick Is More Accurate & Factual To The Real Opioid Crisis Than Painkiller Barring the Sacklers, most of the main characters of Dopesick are fictional and composite stand-ins for the real people affected by the opioid crisis. Painkiller follows the same approach with composite characters but Dopesick has the upper hand when it comes to a factual approach.
Painkiller Focuses More On Dramatization Of True Stories On the surface, both dramas have taken their fair shares of creative liberties. But as a whole, Painkiller seems to take a more melodramatic angle on the crisis in comparison to the 2021 show. From Uzo Aduba’s performance as Painkiller’s investigative journalist Edie Flowers to even real-life figures like the Sacklers, all characters go through prolonged moments of self-introspection and emotion-driven monologues.
