Who knows what you're into (TLOU yes), but I've been getting everybody I can on The North Water.
If you do, strongly recommend subtitles.

Snow day here in the Midwest kept me busy with the kids but I’ll check it out tomorrow… subtitles for the accents?

Same, here in the Midwest also.
Yes the accents are pretty strong. Episode 1 is critical. It's a short series, only 5 episodes. You can do the free trial for AMC via Amazon. Enjoy!

Hard to describe lol. Starts out as a dark comedy about a star chef and his fancy restaurant and the customers. Goes absolutely off the rails and turns into suspense/horror.
I thought it was amazing. Highly recommended if it sounds like your thing.
Fiennes and Taylor-Joy are brilliant in this.
Absolutely fantastic film.

It was both fantastic and rage-inducing for SO many reasons. Later on the oxy epidemic was finally treated as the health crisis that it truly was. If only the crack epidemic had been treated similarly. Weird that was treated so differently.

I live on the other side of the world and I’m pretty sure I understand why crack and opioids have been approached so differently in the US. It doesn’t seem that weird.

I'm sorry, I was attempting poorly to be facetious. I'm not bitter.
Not at all.

i get your point, but there's the additional obvious reason that one is prescribed and one is illegal
the more salient race-based point when it comes to cocaine is the sentencing disparities
opioids are still probably vastly over-prescribed, by the way

It's legal so that it could be prescribed (or more to your point, over-prescribed) so that pharmaceutical companies can make a **** ton of money getting people addicted to the stuff and to not go to jail for doing it. Crack dealers just never figured out (or had the juice) to get crack legalized. Those companies and the reps they sent out everywhere are nothing more than dealers in suits. Hell, some crack dealers wore suits.
