What is the Ellen Pompeo-led drama about?
Good American Family, starring Ellen Pompeo as Kristine Barnett and Mark Duplass as Michael Barnett, is centered around the couple and the time they decide to welcome Natalia Grace (Imogen Reid) into their family. After adopting the young girl, who has a rare form of dwarfism, the couple starts to suspect perhaps Natalia isn't a young girl and is actually an adult woman pretending to be a child.
This leads to a court case, digging and digging to find answers, and Natalia herself trying to win a battle it seems like she won't be able to win. Since the drama is based on a true story and there's different accounts of what happened in the family, the series is told from multiple points of view. And I like that at the beginning of each episode, it tells you whose it is and shows how the different turn of events could have played out.
The first episode, "Almost Like a Prayer," sees Kristine and Michael get the call about Natalia. She comes into their lives at the perfect time as they're still devastated by another adoption falling through. In Good American Family episode 2, "Jump the Jitters Out," Natalia may not have the smoothest start at school, Kristine has suspicions about the adoption, and Michael deals with news at work, per the synopsis.
As someone whose already watched the first two episodes, this series is definitely a must-watch for those of you who are fans of the Grey's Anatomy actress herself, stories based on real-life events, or if you're just looking for a strong show to add to your watch-list. This is definitely the one to check out!
