Movie #3475 ........................."Good American Family" (Hulu)

Movie #3475 "Good American Family" (Hulu)  This show was like watching an accident overall, but there were some good moments (in the last episode the discussion between the foster dad and Natalia -- but it probably never happened in real life)  There was some bad acting in this - esp. in the opening episodes -- everyone acted awkwardly  in their roles, I felt, esp. Pompeo --- I never bought anything she said, she seemed so fake.  And Duplas was up and down with this character --- is the dad  really like that in real life?   If we watched all the episodes, we still weren't sure of Natalia's accusations that she was hit by the mom because we never saw it.... There was so much lying on both sides, it was hard to see through all the fog hiding the truth.  Here's my take on the thing --- this wasn't a show that cleared up many of the questions we might have had if we watched this tragedy in the t.v. news But it did show how misguided some people are, like this woman, who says she can help all disabled children, and failed when she had one in her house and was too full of herself to ask for help to make that child's life better --- it's good to know that Natalia finally found a family who knew how to help her, instead of just going through the motions.  (and lie to get rid of her )  I'd give this 3.5.
