The Pharmacist (2020) Limited Series Review

The Pharmacist (2020) Limited Series Review 

 This documentary has a really interesting story behind it and by reading the premise of The Pharmacist I was compelled to watch this 4 episode documentary on Netlflix. Similarly to my Aaron Hernandez documentary review I will just say what interests me about this documentary without going into too much detail so you can experience it for yourself. The premise of the documentary sees a Pharmacist lose his son due to a drug related murder, while investigating the situation he comes across startling reveals and a country wide epidemic that will affect his entire life.

Dan Schneider is the main guy for this documentary and he has a fascinating story, you can see just how much his sons passing really affects him and his family but what interested me the most is that he didn't really grieve and decided to do something about this tragic event which maybe wasn't the most healthy decision but possibly helped him to grieve. 

Sometimes this documentary feels like it is just crazy and from a made up crime thriller, but this is all real and takes twists and turns that you really couldn't predict or expect but makes this show pretty thrilling and fascinating. It has interviews from people from different points of view and it is interesting to see these different opinions and their opinion on this subject.

My only criticism of this show is in my opinion even though it had some, the show didn't have enough screen time from one particular person that required more to really try and understand their perspective and why they did what they did.

Overall this is a very compelling series, it is only 4 episodes long but you learn so much in that time with plenty of horrifying scenes and things that bring out the emotion in you.

Rating - 9/10
