The premiere of Netflix’s Painkiller is finally here. The limited series offers a fictionalized look at America’s opioid epidemic and how it affects victims and their families.

Plus, Painkiller has already claimed the number one spot on Netflix’s list of most-watched shows after premiering less than a week ago.
The cast list is riddled with seasoned actors (like Uzo Aduba and Matthew Broderick), along with up-and-coming stars who just so happen to be related to other famous names (like West Duchovny and Tyler Ritter).
