US Edition‘Good American Family’ Writer on Episode 3’s Big Fight & How ‘The Affair’ Influenced the Natalia Grace Adaptation
- The Hulu drama series *Good American Family*, based on the story of Natalia Grace Barnett and her adoptive parents Kristine and Michael Barnett, premiered on March 19, with two episodes released initially and subsequent episodes airing weekly until April 30.
- The series delves into the controversial case where the Barnetts claimed Natalia, a Ukrainian orphan diagnosed with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, was an adult posing as a child who tried to harm them, while Natalia accused them of abandonment.
- The show, created and co-showrun by Katie Robbins and another speaker who met on *The Affair*, utilizes a Rashomon-style perspective to explore the differing accounts and questions surrounding the case, a concept that started development in 2020 when less was known about the story and before related trials occurred.
- The show portrays the Barnetts' perspective in a stylized and campy manner, highlighting the tensions within their marriage, including a key scene where Michael blackmails Kristine, and the characters' tendency to deny uncomfortable truths, with Michael's denial being a prominent theme.
- Episodes 5 through 8 shift perspectives to show events from Natalia's point of view, casting new light on earlier scenes, while the series also touches on Kristine's background and the family's primary care doctor's regret over his initial diagnosis.
