Is Edie Flowers Based On A Real Person? Painkiller’s Investigator Explained
Uzo Aduba stars in Painkiller, which was inspired by the opioid crisis, and some wonder if Aduba’s character, Edie Flowers, is based on a real person or is entirely fictional. The Netflix limited series centers around Edie, an investigator with the United States Attorney’s Office tasked with looking into Purdue Pharma and the company’s manufactured drug, OxyContin. The story is based on Barry Meier’s 2003 non-fiction book Pain Killer and Patrick Radden Keefe’s 2017 New Yorker article “The Family That Built an Empire of Pain.” But as the opening minutes of Painkiller reveal, some of the names, characters, and incidents were “fictionalized for dramatic purposes.”
