Where: Disney+
What: Mini-series, 8 episodes, 60 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Docu-drama
Why you should watch: A stellar cast and great storytelling propel this compelling, fact-based drama that digs deep into what — and who — has created the OxyContin-driven opioid crisis. Michael Keaton, Peter Sarsgaard and Rosario Dawson are just some of the top talent telling a tale that’s part Succession, part classic crime procedural  and part family drama — all while probing an essential issue of our time. It works as a solid drama and feels like an expose.
