Painkiller is currently streaming on Netflix.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Painkiller author Barry Meier explains why Richard Sackler won't ever watch the Netflix drama, which features Sackler as the lead antagonist. Based on Meier's book of the same name, and a New Yorker article on the Sackler family by Patrick Radden Keefe, Painkiller is a six-episode show that focuses on the start of the opioid epidemic.
Absolutely not. He would absolutely not watch it, nor do I think he would want to be told about it. There was a deposition of him in 2015 by one of the states that was suing Purdue Pharma. Eight years earlier, the company that he was very much running agreed to plead guilty to these significant federal charges. And when a company does that, they agree to a certain set of facts: “We acknowledge we did this wrong, blah blah blah.
The Supreme Court announced on August 10, coincidentally the same day Painkiller premiered on Netflix, that it was pausing Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy deal which would have protected members of the Sackler family from liability for lawsuits. The Supreme Court ruled to put the deal on hold until it could handle the matter of the appeal. A ruling could happen in 2024.
