Premium US Drama

Those 'curating' the BBC News website offering in the UK have for two days been promoting "Dopesick".  For a BBC obsessed with "British storytelling", this seems odd. 

It's running on BBC2 late on Sunday nights. The mini-series was first run by US streamer HULU in late 2021, and available at the same time in the UK on Disney+.  It was created by US showrunner Danny Strong about the Sackler family and the America opioid crisis.
