NETFLIX Pain Hustlers
NEW
Available: Friday 27 October
Genre: Drama
Following Matthew Broderick’s Painkiller and Michael Keaton’s Dopesick, here’s our next dose of addictive ‘big pharma’ drama inspired by the real-life tale of an American opioid company cashing in on people’s suffering.
Pain Hustlers is based on a New York Times Magazine article and book by Evan Hughes, who investigated how a small opioid company profited from peddling a pain-relief spray for cancer that contained addictive drug fentanyl.
This story is from the October 21, 2023 edition of TV & Satellite Week.
