s01e07 — Black Box Warning

A child's oxy?! Was it really developed or is it an invention of the screenwriters?

Betsy is insanely sorry. But the end, alas, is predictable. How many such unfortunate people have died because of whose vile greed?

Poor girl. But when it only came to treat back pain...

I'm already completely lost with all the tricks between the years. At least the final meeting knocks everything together sometimes.

"Whoever used it knows how to wait for pepper" (c)

Listen, despite the slowness of the narration, the series is incredibly catchy, there is no desire to scroll through the series, I want to watch and watch.
The story is of course terrible, my heart is squeezed with pity for those ordinary people who suffered from pain and started taking this drug, I feel sorry for the doctors who unknowingly prescribed the drug, wanting only to help alleviate this pain, with the best intentions. Dr. Finnix is a collective image. You sit and think how many such Finnicks there were, how many they prescribed oxy...

Richard Sackler is just disgusting, in the pursuit of profit, such people lose their human face, it's just scary to watch his reasoning. To push a deadly drug, to defend to the last and look for ways to increase sales, to fool people's heads... Horror, there are no words.
The Board of shareholders is the same bunch of nasty little people, the grandmothers are clouding the brain.

Billy is just bravo, reason has prevailed over money and unscrupulousness, I wonder if these records will shoot.

Well, Betsy again. Poor soul 😢 😢 😢

Just applaud the casting director, all the actors are perfectly matched, in their places, you just believe them every second when they are on the screen, not a single miskast or fake

Stuhlbarg and Keaton are a typical mastapis. I've said it all.

Caitlin Deaver - my respect, everything is so convincing that it became scary at the end when she started calling her ex - I somehow immediately realized how the series should end.
I hope at least Dr. Keaton's character can stand it and get off this stuff, probably
only benzodiazopines and other similar psychoactive stuff are scarier than opioids.
I hope they'll take something like this off one day too.

How I hoped that Betsy would recover..
A sad ending to her line, too much so...

I felt like one place where everything was going with Betsy, but it's still a pity...

I'm crying again

I feel so sorry for Betsy and her parents, it's just awful

"Никакие законы, или положения, никогда не остановят чудо, которым является современная фармацевтика. История говорит сама за себя".

Бедная Бэтси не смогла выбраться.

От детской фотографии Бэтси так жутко стало( прибило на слезу

Жаль девочку ...сколько эти мрази человеческих судеб погубили

Я пересмотрела кучу сериалов про серийников, даже сериал про Дамера не было так жутко смотреть как этот. Ужасающая жадность, которую ничем не пробить.

Хвалёный саннадзор США в этом сериале выглядит как кучка коррумпированных и бесхребетных подпевал биг фармы. Сериал шокирует цинизмом Пердью и всей стстемы по отношению к обычным людям. А детский окси - это жестокая жесть. Как сделать из человека наркомана, когда он даже пожить толком не успел.

Да, именно эта серия взяла за живое.
Как же хорошо снято, что за такой короткий промежуток времени, имею в виду эпизодически, настолько сильно проникаешься героями.
Очень жаль Бетси, прям до глубины души.

I read an article. I decided to post a few shocking paragraphs here. I tried to treat pills with great caution before, but after such things ... yes, only the courts have reached our days, but the very fact that these people have such influence and no one is going to stop /punish them is amazing.

1) Heroin from Bayer was freely sold in both Europe and the United States and was in great demand: due to the low price, it was available to a wide range of the population. In addition, in those years, tuberculosis, accompanied by a severe cough, was one of the serious health problems. Researchers found 1910 Bayer advertising booklets for the Spanish market, in which heroin was recommended to be given to children with coughing.


2) Primodos (pregnancy test) was discontinued in 1978, 19 years after the publication that its use negatively affects the formation of the fetus (if the woman is still pregnant) and can lead to miscarriages and miscarriage. Since then, tens of thousands of families have been seeking through the courts to admit the guilt of the manufacturer and the controlling state bodies and to pay compensation. So far to no avail: the courts have ruled that the abnormal increase in developmental disorders of children after this test does not prove that this was due to taking Primodos. The last time a lawsuit against Bayer in this regard was considered in the High Court of London in May 2023.



3)Thousands of people infected with HIV filed lawsuits against Bayer (more than 6,000 people were infected in the United States alone), and the company paid $ 660 million in compensation. But that wasn't the end of the story. 20 years after this scandal, information surfaced that Bayer had not disposed of unsold goods in the United States and Europe that could pose a potential threat to consumers, but sold them in the markets of developing countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia. This time, the company avoided paying compensation, since after so long it is impossible to establish a link between taking the drug and HIV infection.

I couldn't help but cry when she went for the "last dose", I knew that this would happen and from the very first episode I knew it in principle, and I was disappointed that it turned out so predictably, since they showed us the broadcasting doc from the "future" right away, but she wasn't there, a kind of "one got out, but she will blame herself for the rest of her life, and the other one fought, but without a chance." It was shown very well by the example of two collective images, perhaps one of the saddest, most unhappy and innocent. How many such innocent, young and kind Betsy souls died? People have been ruining their lives by deciding to take this stuff for some kind of toothache! It's just incredible, I get goosebumps from every episode of how we are slowly plunged with all the characters into the abyss of despair, anger and fear. These people are worse than drug lords, dealers and other inhumans, because they do not hide and do not pretend to be good guys selling "innovative" things. Their whole family and all the corrupt officials involved should burn in hell and preferably in a separate cauldron. Of course, thanks to all the actors for the amazing game
