Showrunners Katie Robbins and Sarah Sutherland know precisely how to develop a show’s momentum, coming out of the gate swinging but leaving plenty of room for the show to mature and grow naturally, allowing the truth to do the heavy lifting as a curious audience can’t help but marvel over the reality of it all.

When the external reality of Natalia’s life inevitably intrudes, “Good American Family” buckles under the weight. Even as the whole disappoints, however, “Good American Family” stands out in parts.

There are some stories that are not well served when they’re made into scripted dramas. Because of the muddled details, the Natalia Grace case is one of them, and the lack of nuance in Good American Family is a good indicator that viewers are better off watching docuseries about Natalia’s case rather than this drama.
