  • My Mum died from the opioid crisis. I am so thankful for Michael Keaton and this show. More power to you.
  • @Room142
    John Oliver was right when he said the question shouldn't be how much should Purdue be forced to pay in damages, but how much should they be allowed to keep.
  • @shawj2874
    We can NEVER have enough Michael Keaton.
  • I got hooked in 98. That led to a decade of IV heroin abuse. I’ve been clean for 10 years after a 7 year struggle of actively trying to quit. I’ve lost seven dear friends. 6 in one year. Even a decade later I struggle daily. I never thought the stigma and unaccountability of big pharm would change. They’ve done a great job showing the destruction wrought on all walks of life.
  • The sad thing is when I was in nursing school many years ago Our class was told several times that ‘Don’t be afraid to give a patient pain medication per doctors orders. OxyContin wasn’t additive if the patient was truly in pain.’ I had a patient call every Friday to get refills of pain medication. So I called every pharmacy in the area and this same person had prescription at every pharmacy. I notified the doctor at my clinic and he said I don’t want to hear that. I can’t stop prescribing pain medications for this guy because he will sue me. I was the person who had to call the pharmacy in after the doctor told me to. So I quit my job. I couldn’t justify that rationale.

    Michael Keaton was a revelation in this. Glad he won just about every award he was nominated for. I was in active addiction for 8 years. Finally after losing my mom, my brother, and my wife ( we'd been together since high school) leaving me all in the space of 4 weeks, I decided if I was the only one left, there must be a reason and it wasnt to get high. I am on methadone now and it has been a tremendous help in staying sober. I don't drink, don't do any other drugs, I don't even smoke weed. I attend one group therapy session a week. I have 2 college degrees, hold local office, created a community service webpage, amd am a devoted father. I am not trying to brag, just to show that opioid addiction can happen to anyone. You'd never think I'm a "junkie". But the reality is that I am. Watching this show gave me the strength to keep going. I could channel my rage, shame, and pain at this company for what it did to me and millions of Americans. I hope the Sacklers choke on every dollar they made
  • I am so glad that they made this film, I was prescribed oxy when I was 21 for a neck injury I was addicted, now I am clean and a Peer Coach to help others for their addiction.
  • This is an incredible series! As someone who became addicted to opioids after having extensive dental work- that’s a place I NEVER want to go back to.
  • @Walrus286
    Michael Keaton is so good in this series. There are scenes throughout that hit you like a truck.
  • That shit killed my brother. He got hurt and got hooked. Went from running marathons to being prescribed 240 mg oxycontin a day. Those assholes.
  • I just love this man's acting abilities...very versatile, very funny.
  • Michael Keaton isn't just a Batman... He's THE BATMAN!
  • After chipping a vertebrae, they gave me oxy for 6 weeks. Stopping it was a bitch. Felt like I had the flu for 2 weeks. Can't imagine what stopping is like when you're actually addicted.
  • @Suzu52
    Just finished bingeing it....can t stop crying..."it s really good" is such an understatement, Mr.Keaton. Acting across the board is superb.
  • More villainous than any villain Batman ever faced! 😠
  • @nitab1971
    Michael's "Clean & Sober" performance is brilliant. I've loved him for years, and I'm so happy he's endured.
  • Listening to Michael talk about Perdue reminds me of him playing Sackler in a parody on John Oliver's show. Perfection.....
  • @19thHour
    There is no true justice in this case when you consider how many lives were permanently destroyed. But I think making the Sacklers pay for the medical rehab and after-care for everyone who got prescriptions for their drugs and became addicted...would be the right first step.
  • 2:03 😥 Whew! Michael Keaton is one the most phenomenal actors of all times! I Bow to his Greatness and Brilliance as an Actor
  • I worked in pharmaceuticals during this time and the MONEY that was thrown around... You wouldn't believe it. It was disgusting...the greed, the gluttony. I had to leave.
