A Friend of the Family

"NEVER CALL SOMEONE A FRIEND THAT YOU JUST MEET (when it comes to your kids) 😞"

"Wow. Just. Wow. I can't believe this is a true story. This show gave me the same feeling that "The Act" did. The acting is stupendous and the writing/storyline kept me intrigued the entire time. I would love to see more shows like this that are produced by the victims. It made this show all that more special."

"A very sad story. The series is well done, they tell the story in a victim’s point of vue and the emotions pass through. The acting of some of them is not great but overall well made. "

"Jake Lacy is VERY good. Anna Paquin always “acts” the same (can’t act at all) regardless of her character. Tom Hanks son was good but looks and acts so much like his dad it was like Tom Hanks played the role. I watched because I was intrigued that this was a true story. It is incomprehensible that these parents could actually have been this gullible, this manipulated, and this caught up in hiding their own secrets that they allowed this to happen to their daughter and that it went on for so long! SPOILER ALERT….This predatory pedophile is now dead. Took the coward’s way out and killed himself. Thanks Berchtold. "

"It just blows my mind that the parents could could have been so ‘naive’. never allow your children to spend time alone with someone you just met!! So so sad for Jan. "

"Deeply disturbing "

"I thought this was a truly remarkable telling of being victim to grooming, manipulation and abuse. A lot of people will watch this show and wonder how this family could have allowed this, not understanding what it’s like to be manipulated to such a degree. It’s a pretty crazy story!! "

"This is disturbingly good. Emotionally spent from watching a single epi though. Very triggering...to say the least. Luckily, there is a disclaimer at the start to warn if needed. But it's decently scripted for a true life crime drama. "

"This series had me on the edge of my seat every single episode. Astonishing true story. "

"The documentary Abducted in Plain Sight was a wild ride but seeing it acted and played out was a whole other level of CRAZY! A cautionary tale of how predators are most often those closest to us. "
