Normally, I wouldn’t pick Pain Hustlers to watch. On Netflix, it’s labeled as a drama, and that’s not usually my go-to genre. However, when I checked IMDb and saw a 6.6 rating, which I consider pretty good, and read that it’s based on real events, I decided to give it a try. And I m glad I did. A drama, but not only this. A (true) drug crime, and a docudrama (first time I saw this document+drama) as it is based on a…More

Everything is a business... even pain. > Todo es un negocio... incluso el dolor. Source - Edit in Canva.com & Photoshop Opioids are a big problem, especially in the United States. Not only because of the addictive power of these drugs and their deadly health effects. Also because it represents a million-dollar business for those who produce these drugs. You have probably heard of Fentanyl. This synthetic drug has be…More
*Source, Fair Use* Once I saw film stars, Emily Blunt and Chris Evans, on the poster, I knew I had to watch it.
