The new Hulu series 'Good American Family' dramatizes the controversial adoption case of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born girl with dwarfism, whose adoptive parents, Kristine and Michael Barnett, claimed she was an adult posing as a child. The show, which premiered recently, explores the unsettling dynamics of the Barnetts' family life as they face allegations of abandonment and fraud after petitioning to change Natalia's birth year in court.

Ellen Pompeo stars as Kristine Barnett, marking her first major role since 'Grey's Anatomy,' and highlights the complexities of the narrative from multiple perspectives. The series, set to air weekly, has generated significant buzz on social media and among viewers eager to delve into this real-life mystery. It aims to confront issues of perspective, bias, and trauma surrounding the case, positioning Natalia as both a victim and a misunderstood figure.
