   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 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.

   What is painkiller about?

   • At its center, Painkiller is about the key moments that led to the opioid epidemic—and how they could have been stopped, but weren’t.

   • Painkiller, a new Netflix six-parter, charts the rise of Oxy – and the fall of America.

   How does Peter Berg approach Netflix's 'Painkiller'?

   • 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.
