Although not uncommon for a miniseries,Dopesicktells its story through multiple viewpoints.

The information is remarkably clear, thanks to the inclusion of helpful date reminders throughout the episodes.

For this reason,Dopesickdemonstrates the reality of the crisis, which is enough alone to be greatly commended.
