Joel Piqué Buisan, Irene Cambra Badii
In this article the representation of the responsibilities that the TV series Dopesick portrays about the opioid crisis in the United States is analyzed, and those points of the legal framework that the series highlights and that they are part of the specific context in that country, compared to Spain, are analyzed. Methodology: a narrative analysis of the eight episodes of Dopesick is carried out, in which a total of 458 scenes are analyzed and classified into 4 categories regarding the responsibilities in the use and abuse of opioids. Results: The analysis shows how the series focuses on the pharmaceutical industry-society binomial but does not delve into the responsibility of the public administration and the health system in this crisis, while making invisible the current legal framework regarding the control of these substances. Conclusions: These specific aspects of the complex network of responsibilities regarding the commercialization of opioids have been the main difference with respect to other countries such as Spain in the use and abuse of opioids.
