‘Good American Family’: Mark Duplass on Michael’s Meltdown & Victimhood as Natalia Grace Truth Comes Through
- In the finale of Hulu's Good American Family, Michael Barnett is acquitted of all child abuse charges related to Natalia Grace's case.
- The court excluded much evidence due to the statute of limitations and a procedural state error prevented Natalia's age from being re-litigated at trial.
- Despite numerous willing witnesses to Natalia's childhood, the legal system disallowed any discussion of her genetic or chronological age, which the Barnetts had legally redefined.
- Mark Duplass noted Michael declined multiple chances to reconcile with Natalia, describing his character's behavior as a survival mechanism amid complex mental health struggles.
- The verdict underscores systemic failures in addressing Natalia's truth, prompting reflection on justice and public reconsideration of the case's narrative complexities.
