Good American Family trailer presents Ellen Pompeo's side of an adoption nightmare

“Told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma, this compelling drama is inspired by the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern couple who adopts a girl with a rare form of dwarfism,” reads a Hulu synopsis for Good American Family. “But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. As they defend their family from the daughter they’ve grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom.”

The true story of Natalia Grace was once presented as a real-life version of Orphan (when it was announced, the Hulu dramatization was called “Untitled Orphan Project“). But Natalia’s version of events—specifically, that she was indeed a child when she was adopted by the Barnetts—was more or less validated later, as depicted in the Investigation Discovery docuseries The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace. Nevertheless, the Good American Family trailer makes the adoptee look pretty villainous. Played by Imogen Faith Reid, Natalia is seen having violent outbursts and generally looking sinister. (See: that eerie final shot.) But if the show is exploring multiple points of view, this trailer seems decidedly from Kristine’s. So perhaps the full series—which also stars Mark Duplass, Dulé Hill, and Christina Hendricks, among others—will feel a little less biased towards the Orphan perspective.
