How Does Netflix’s Painkiller Compare To Dopesick’s 89% Rotten Tomatoes Score?

The Rotten Tomatoes score is in for Painkiller, Netflix’s drama about the opioid crisis, and audiences may be curious how it compares to Hulu’s Dopesick. It’s not surprising that comparisons will be drawn between the two dramas, considering they’re both limited shows from streamers that tackle the origins of the opioid crisis. Dopesick was released two years before Painkiller and received a largely positive reception, even scooping up 14 nominations at the 2022 Emmys. Meanwhile, Painkiller arrived on Netflix on August 10, and critics and audiences are starting to get a feel for the six-episode series.
