I saw all 6 episodes of "Painkiller" yesterday. It was well made. I think though that they did fictionalize some key parts, like when the founder was coming up with the idea of a chemical lobotomy - I think they were motivated by trying to find another way to control behavior and stumbled on it, but the program made it look like they were looking for ways to get repeat business.

Overall, though, a good series. It put some context around the recent news of a bankruptcy filling that the courts denied for Perdue yesterday.
