TV fans are loving Hulu's new series, Good American Family, with many binge-watching the first two available episodes in one sitting.
The eight-episode series fictionalises the true-crime story of Natalia Grace, a young Ukrainian girl with a rare form of dwarfism who came to the US after being adopted by a couple from New Hampshire. But as they bring her into their family and raise her alongside their three children, questions about her real age and background begin to arise.
It's safe to say that viewers are hooked by the series, which premiered with the first two episodes on Hulu on Wednesday.

The synopsis continues: "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."
