Netflix users can’t get enough of the ‘eye-opening’ new true crime documentary The Pharmacist.
The docuseries, which landed on Netflix today [February 5], who follows small town pharmacist Dan Schneider after loses his son in a drug-related shooting in New Orleans.
Lacking answers from police, he beats the odds when he embarks on a dogged pursuit to find and bring his son’s killer to justice.
But months later, the ripple effects of his son’s addiction and tragic death would find him again when a troubling number of young, seemingly healthy people begin visiting Dan’s pharmacy with high dose prescriptions for OxyContin.
Sensing a crisis long before the opioid epidemic had gained nationwide attention, Dan stakes a mission: Save the lives of other sons and daughters within his community. Then take the fight to Big Pharma itself.
Directed by Julia Willoughby Nason and Jenner Furst, The Pharmacist shows how one man channeled his grief into a crusade that helped bring a reckoning against the powerful figures behind the nation’s devastating opioid epidemic.
And despite only debuting on Netflix today, users are already hooked – and have flooded social media with praise for the “eye-opening”, “heartbreaking” and “gripping” series.
