Dopesick it isn't, not even close. In fact, it emphasizes how impactful, moving, respectful and tragic Dopesick was. The lead narrator telling the story is not well cast, not convincing in this dramatic role although she was good in other past roles. The writing is just ok, the edit and storytelling are very tiring and it makes it all underwhelming which is a real shame given the topic. It's trying to be funny and trendy but it falls mainly flat. Broderick is ok, Kitsch is rather good. I will try to finish the show to be fair and because it is not awful, but I don't recommend it if you have watched and "enjoyed" Dopesick.
Now finished - took away 1 star down to 5, Netflix really missed an opportunity there.
