Will 'How To Fix A Drug Scandal' Return For Season 2? It Could Get A Scripted Show


Following the internet-consuming success of Tiger King, Netflix has returned with another docuseries: How to Fix a Drug Scandal, which chronicles the misconduct and subsequent arrests of Massachusetts drug lab chemists Sonja Farak and Annie Dookhan. After it was discovered that Dookhan had fabricated thousands of test results in her Boston lab and Farak had been using the drugs that came through hers in Amherst, both women were convicted and sentenced to prison (both have since been released). As a result of their misconduct, 44,000 drug convictions were dismissed — something that "shook the very foundation of [the state's] criminal justice system" Northwestern Massachusetts District Attorney David Sullivan said, per CBS.

At only four episodes, it seems unlikely that How to Fix a Drug Scandal will return for Season 2. If there were more material to be covered, the show probably would have been longer. And with the exception of Making a Murderer, it's rare for docuseries to be renewed. It's possible that the show could continue by exploring where Farak and Dookhan are now, or the lives of those whose cases their misconduct impacted. However, it's more probable that the story will be adapted in a new medium.

How to Fix a Drug Scandal director Erin Lee Carr previously helmed the HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest about Gypsy Rose Blanchard, which was later adapted into Hulu's The Act mini-series. Carr also directed the HBO documentary I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth V. Michelle Carter about the suicide of Conrad Roy, which is now being turned into a scripted series for Universal Content Productions — the same company behind The Act, Bravo's Dirty John, and the forthcoming show about Tiger King's Joe Exotic. Clearly, Carr's work has a cycle.

Whether or not How to Fix a Drug Scandal will generate enough buzz to land its own scripted adaptation, we'll have to wait and see. But it has the advantage of being released when everyone is stuck in their homes and eager for more wild true crime stories to watch on Netflix.

23 Nerdy Sex Toys From The 2010s You Didn't Know You Needed

Bild
As 2010 closes up shop and 2020 gets ready to make its debut, I think many of us can agree the past decade was, for lack of a better word, intense. As much as politics may have thrown us for a loop in the last three years, overall the decade was one of growth, awareness, progressive movements, and, of course, innovation. And among those innovations came the explosion of sex toys in a culture that finally got the memo that human sexuality isn't just something to be discussed, but celebrated too. Whenever something takes off, as sex toy innovation did in the past decade, you can usually expect that niche items are to follow. I mean, there has to be something for everyone after all. And, as a decade that saw Game of Thrones become a cultural phenomenon and the return of Star Wars , it was also a decade that appealed to our inner nerd I write this as someone who got a Star Wars tattoo three years ago. From an entertainment standpoint, dragons and droids reigned supreme in some w...

The Lit Lover's Guide To Watching 'Dickinson' On AppleTV+

Bild
Dickinson premiered on Apple TV+ at the beginning of this month, but it's already generating a lot of hype, particularly for those of us who never quite got over our Emily Dickinson "phase." For those looking for supplementary material in this new phase of the famed poet, look no further than this lit lover's guide to watching Dickinson , replete with all the books you need to read to stay abreast of what's going on in the charming new series. For some, the idea of Emily Dickinson being a bratty teenager is just too much to bear, but at least one Dickinson scholar says the show's portrayal is true to the poet she knows. Whether or not the show remains true in its depictions of the various players in Dickinson's life varies from character to character John Mulaney captures the utter weirdness of Henry David Thoreau in his cameo, while Matt Lauria's Benjamin Newton is less than historically accurate, for example. If you're currently enjoying D...
