Dopesick is partially based on the true story of Tennessee’s opioid epidemic that spread with the Purdue’s Pharma addictive painkiller OxyContin.
The Nashville opioid czar was himself addicted with the same drug and was bound to take even 100 pills per day, the state media reported.
Based on Beth Macy book of the same title, the series can be divided into four timelines.
Out of which one follows a high ranking Drug enforcement agency official, second follows two Virginia prosecutors who carried out their own investigation on the Purdue Pharma case.
Third follows Richard Sackler as the former president and chairman of the evil pharmaceutical company who played a crucial role in the initiation of epidemic that affected millions of Americans, according to NPR and finally the role of Dr Samuel Finnix and his patient Betsy Mallum.

Officer Bridget is a fictional character from Beth Macy’s book of the same title as series. She is a high ranking Drug Enforcement agency official who tries to take down Purdue Pharma.
It is sad to hear that such a courageous personality doesn’t exist in real life, but worry not there are so many competent officers in America that are working hard like her in kinds of places.
