From Arthur Sackler to Edie Flowers, these are the 10 best characters from Painkiller, ranked.
The six-part Netflix miniseries Painkiller isn’t the first project to tackle the opioid crisis; it was preceded by the Hulu series Dopesick, as well as the documentaries The Crime of the Century and All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. What differentiates the fictionalized series Painkiller is the way in which the series unpacks the legal investigation into the Sackler family, and how their empire grew from the ground up.
However, it’s detailed how these tactics were encouraged by Purdue Pharma, and how Britt is ultimately just a pawn in the system. She serves as a terrifying villain throughout the series, and shows no signs of remorse. 7 Richard Sackler Even though he is most closely associated with more comedic roles in films like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Freshman, Matthew Broderick is able to give a haunting performance as Richard Sackler, one the historical figures that the show develops.
Raymond and Richards’ cruelty in spreading the Sackler empire is comparable, but Raymond shows such little concern about the nature of medicine and the side effects of Oxycontin that it’s easy to hate him even more. Glen’s behavior, mood, and personality changes almost instantly, as he becomes so addicted to Oxycontin that he’s unable to focus on anything but taking more pills. It’s heartbreaking to see how destructive the opioid is on a good man’s life.
