Painkiller (2023)
Wannabe The Big Short and instead it's a big mess
Dopesick is 1000 times better. This show was painful to watch. Peter Berg tried to make this like The Big Short but instead it's a jumbled mess. There's no flow and the storylines were rushed. He made all the sellers into basically call girls and while West Duchovny got her fathers eyes she didn't get his acting talent. Also the federal investigation had no rhyme or reason to it. In regards to the investigation there's no timeline, no buildup, and the main woman is just on her own but they mostly just show her angry. Compare that to Dopesick where you got more story about the Sacklers and more in depth investigations. Painkiller is not a good show. It's annoying.
12 Monkeys: Causality (2017)
Jennifer Goines at her best
One of the best episodes of the series. Emily Hampshire and the writers nailed the character of Jennifer Goines. This episode highlights that. Also continues the great character arc of Deacon. Plus lots of pop culture references.
