I truly cannot believe I watched this entire series. Perhaps, if I had not already watched Dopesick on Hulu I MIGHT have been able to muster up some appreciation for PainKiller....but, frankly even then that would be unlikely.
Everything about this limited series is underdeveloped and wildly unsatisfying. The writing is questionable, the acting is mediocre, and the characters are extremely...well, absent of character.
It is a 6 episode series that dragged on so long it felt like 12 episodes. Also...the sound editing was bad. The background music often overwhelmed the dialog to the point closed captioning might have been useful. Do not recommend.
Just watch Dopesick.
