Utter rubbish. Massively overdramatised, the scene where they are testing words like morphine and oxycodone with focus groups whilst Richard Sackler drums the table was really silly. The scientific elements were also watered down beyond belief, with Richard going to his lab scientist "can you do better than MS Contin" "maybe" "okay do it". Arthur Sackler's ghosts appearances were equally silly, as was the refusal of Edie to sit down until a chair that Richard Sackler sat in has been removed from the room. Dramatic recreation was ill at ease with the opening scene of a mother talking about her sons overdose in a car park.
