7/10

It's really rather chilling.

Britt and Shannon continue plugging oxy at an alarming rate, but run into Edie Flowers Glen takes part in an advertising campaign for oxycontin, but then starts suffering withdrawal symptoms when he runs out of his medication.

You cannot help but feel a little sick watching it, largely because of what was behind oxycontin, it was never about health, it was always about money.

I thought this was a step up from the first episode, I rather enjoyed it. Definitely well made and well acted, Britt and Shannon are getting under my skin, so the actresses involved are doing their job well.

It was fascinating to learn that oxy was first tested in Puerto Rico, the withdrawals of it must have been harrowing. Those sequences here were really shocking.

How on Earth advertising is allowed on pharmaceutical products is absolutely beyond me, it's abhorrent.

7/10.
