CBS’s East New York and Fox’s The Resident both took on the fentanyl crisis plaguing communities across America in their most recent episodes, yet both shows failed to mention the root causes, such as the border crisis and China.
Kudos to the writers for at least tackling this important issue, as fentanyl overdoses have been reported on as the leading cause of death for young adults ages 18-45.
The numbers are staggering, with fentanyl deaths accounting for more in this age range than anything else such as Covid-19, suicides, cancer and motor vehicle accidents, among other things.
Season 1, episode 8 (https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/135342-s01e08-compstat-interruptus/) of East New York centers around the deaths of four young partygoers due to fentanyl overdoses.
