    Think you know the truth?

    "Good American Family" is a gripping American drama-thriller series, inspired by the true story of Natalia Grace and her adoption by Kristine (Ellen Pompeo) and Michael Barnett (Mark Duplass).

    Natalia, a child with dwarfism, is abandoned by the Barnetts after displaying strange behavior. Sound familiar?

    It echoes a plot twist from the 2009 horror film "Orphan," which was based on the real-life case of Estonian imposter Barbora Skrlová. The unsettling premise taps into our darkest fears, but this series dives deeper into a much more twisted narrative.

    While the story begins in 2010, the truth unfolds in a shocking series of revelations.

    What initially seems like a straightforward tale quickly morphs into something more complex, shedding light on a deeper, far darker reality. After the success of a popular docuseries, the inevitable narrative adaptation has arrived.

    If you're unfamiliar with the details of the Grace case, it's best to dive in blind-this show is a masterclass in twisting allegiances and testing your judgment.

    The first episodes might make you cringe, but as Natalia's character shifts from antagonist to protagonist, the story evolves into something much more than just a rehash of Orphan.

    It's a mix of crime drama-thriller, and satire, with a he-said-she-said dynamic that keeps you hooked, episode after episode.

    If you're ready for a binge-worthy, mind-bending rollercoaster, "Good American Family" is not to be missed.

    Entertainingly creepy

    I almost didn't watch this because of all the bad reviews, but I'm glad I gave it a chance because it's a great show. The thought the acting was good, with all the characters cast really well. Ellen Pompeo in particular plays the mom role perfectly. I think it's the best she's been. It's a creepy drama that's even creepier because it really happened. I wasn't familiar with the story previously so I'm glad I have an entertaining way to learn about it.

    I'm genuinely puzzled by the bad reviews. I honestly don't know why people don't like it. Maybe this kind of show isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I'm really enjoying it.

    Hold off judgements- episode 5 may start to change your perspective!

    I will say, I started off agreeing with all of the other comments and reviews, however my perspective is starting to change following episode 5. I am not sure what they are doing and how they will continue to present this storyline, but I am VERY intrigued.

    Initially it starts off following Ellen Pompeo's perspective as the mom, but now I think it's turning and starting to following Natalia Grace's perspective. It's an interesting state of production though because you really can't tell what's perspective and what's real life- I guess that's true for everything and this story is doing an excellent job of creating that!

    Enjoyed this series

    I am not understanding the negative reviews. Clearly people did not watch the entire series. The episodes are from varying perspectives. Some claim it seems fake...well it is a show and is focused on entertainment. I has no idea that this was based on a true story. Tragic is the best way to describe this. This child has hone through a lot as well as the family. It was great to see Ellen Pompeo and a bright young actress you plays Natalie. She did an incredible job! This series is also insightful in how disabled children may be put through the system harming them and the families. I do not want to state or analyze much to avoid spoilers.

    Mixed feelings....

    I'm on episode 5. When they dropped the adopted off at her own place and to see her struggle was unsettling. Total transparency. I have abandonment issues from childhood. To see her in that element was cringing to me. So far the series is intense. I couldn't finish the episode as of yet. To get that type of reaction from the audience is amazing. Unfortunately there isn't anything warm hearted about the show. I think the acting is convincing. The actor playing the "dwarf", is convincing. I never watched Grey's Anatomy, but the lead actress has this gravitational pull. She draws you in and very unpredictable.
