” is an eight-episode limited series that depicts the rise and fall of the opioid epidemic, which has raved millions of Americans since a group of powerful painkillers became widely prescribed starting in the 1990s. The series from 20th Television and the Littlefield Co., is headlined by Keaton, who said he believes the series will enlighten viewers on the deadly epidemic.
Much of Keaton’s screentime is shared with Will Poulter, who plays a Purdue salesman who convinces Dr. Finnix that OxyConton is essentially “nonaddictive” by following the company’s emotionally manipulative approach. “[John] is one of my favorite actors I’ve ever acted with,” Sarsgaard said. “I think we’re due for our own show. I think we need like an ‘Odd Couple’ type show.”
