Good American Family, Hulu
Inspired by the viral story of Ukrainian orphan Natalia Grace Barnett – whose adoptive parents claimed she was an adult posing as a child – this drama tells a chilling tale of suspicion and fear. A Midwestern couple adopt a young girl with a rare form of dwarfism, only to question her age and identity. As doubts grow, their once-happy family is thrust into a battle fought in the tabloids, the courtroom – and their own home. Told from multiple perspectives, the series explores how trauma and bias blur the lines between truth and deception. It stars Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy), Mark Duplass (The Morning Show) and Imogen Faith Reid, with appearances from Dulé Hill (The West Wing), Christina Hendricks (Mad Men), Sarayu Blue (Never Have I Ever) and Jenny O’Hara (Big Love).
