How to Fix a Drug Scandal (2020)
May we suggest revisiting the old classics that are new to Netflix for a good chuckle? Like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Community (seasons one to six), and the wildly inappropriate White Chicks.
But for those who prefer a more serious quarantine experience, the Netflix original docu-series How to Fix a Drug Scandal will deliver just that. The series follows a drug lab chemist who gets caught tampering with crime scene evidence and working while under the influence.
