   Is 'Painkiller' a good movie?

   • It’s an effective reminder of the truth at the core of what “Painkiller” seeks to unpack—how greed destroyed lives—but the thin characters, aggressive filmmaking choices, and complete lack of subtlety mean that every episode fails to find the right tone for its heartbreaking overtures.

   Will there be a 'painkiller' movie on Netflix?

   • A battle of wills between Edie and the Sacklers might have been enough for a feature film version of “Painkiller,” but this is a Netflix mini-series—so we need two more. The better of the pair is the “case study” arc of Glen Kryger ( Taylor Kitsch ), a mechanic who suffers a brutal accident in the premiere that leads to his addiction to OxyContin.

   Is Painkiller a good show?

   • The tone of Painkiller is decidedly different, however, and not in a good way. Despite the heart-wrenching testimonials by real victims’ families that begin each episode, it almost feels like Fitzerman-Blue, Harpster and Berg are treating the players in the opioid crisis like quirky characters instead of people on either side of a real crisis.

   Is Painkiller a true story?

   • The events of Painkiller are largely fictional, or heavily dramatised, but its stories feel achingly real. Each episode begins with an address by families who have lost loved ones to an opioid overdose. There is no “typical” opioid victim: they are grandfathers, teenage girls, college graduates with a life ahead of them.

   Aug 10, 2023 · 4 min read. Director Peter Berg approaches Netflix’s six-episode “Painkiller” with an almost frantic style. There’s an urgency here in his telling of the origin of the opioid crisis in this country that’s admirable given the damage still being caused by Purdue Pharma, but ultimately shallow.
