Looks like a fun show.

Worse than the Alec Baldwin show?
Actually, it was very somber and serious, and it dealt with a most unmentionable topic...the horrible abuse of prescription abuse of pain meds. It showed how easy it is to get opiods, in any suburban neighborhood in America. How neighbors and friends swap opiods. i was surprised, and a bit awakened...cleaned out my meds cabinet today.. Could’t believe how many old opiods were there from some serious dental stuff, etc.
The show should be called “The Con Whores” as all the characters seem to be con artists who will do anything for money.
The story line, in a crude attempt to be “relevant”, simply came off as - mean.
The whole basis for Roseanne “dying” was supposedly an opioid overdose, and while cleaning out the effects, a prescription bottle with somebody else’s name was found. Dan posted the name and the accusation of responsibility on a sign affixed to the door of his work truck, and pretty much ruined the woman’s name in the town. In a pitiful scene near the end of the episode, she came to appeal to Dan to cease and desist, but Dan remained adamant. Then one of the daughters came out with ANOTHER stash of opioids, which was probably the one that was the source of the overdose. There was just no possibility of taking it back at that point.
Pretty dark story, no matter how they may dance around it in future episodes (if any ever get aired).
