"Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks" (season 2)
It's not a spoiler, because it all happens early in the first episode: Natalia was exactly the same age she claimed to be, and the Barnetts were and are liars when they claimed they had adopted a scheming adult Ukrainian dwarf. The new series explores why.
First of all, Natalia is now a young adult, extremely well-spoken and intelligent. She also seems finally happy after being taken in by an extended Christian family, which clearly loves her and vice versa. The father is a Black bishop, which becomes important at the end of episode 2.
The new documentary makes it clear that the Barnetts knew exactly how old Natalia was, but continued to push the fiction that she was an adult for Kristine Barnett's personal reasons, which the show lays out.
It's as perversely fascinating as the first series, but so far it's a bit more satisfying because poor Natalia seems to have found some of the happiness she's sought all her life.
On ID and Max (former HBO).

Oh, and Michael is just as melodramatic and C-R-A-Z-Y as he was in the first series!

When this whole scandal broke a bunch of people here were attacking her and defending the parents. Not sure why....

Her new dad is a drama queen too. “No cussing in here!” What is this a kindergarten?

Wait — Michael said in a deposition that Natalia was EATING HER PERIODS in order to hide her menstrual cycle from them???

Yes but when it came to ugly here she was 110. Team parents I never would have lived with that ugly dwarf like that

She had her period and p*bic hair at age 6? WTF? Just started watching and the adopted father is rather flamboyant.

If she actually had public hair wouldn’t the first thought be take her to a doctor or an endocrinologist to find out what this issue is?

R13 I’m surprised Kristine has restrained herself from doing interviews because from reading her Facebook rants she’s a massive narcissist. Her and Michael are really a pair. It’s difficult to believe these people are real.

No spoilers: but the ending was a jawdropper. I recommend if you watch that you read NOTHING about this.

Jeez ID is really milking this story. On Reddit I heard she moved out of the preacher’s house and in with the dwarf family that wanted to adopt her originally. I think it’s a dispute over her go fund me money. Or maybe because she’s made some sinful lifestyle choice. Though on TikTok she says they’re still friends. What’s weird to me is how she says she dreams of getting her high school diploma. She’s been with these people for 10 years now, what the hell have they been doing this whole time about her education?

So the “ladies man” Billy Barry was sexting with mom and she tried to hook him up with the adopted dwarf daughter?!

I think she got the blaccent from the third adoptive family. That preacher father gave me BAD vibes. Freaking out over 'cussing?' There was something off about her new family so I'm not very surprised she's not living with them anymore.

Oh, geez. Season Two is all about the perils of reality TV docuseries. Everyone sounds coached by the producers, who try to bleed suspense out of the tiniest inconsistencies. They're desperate for content at any cost. The pacing has become positively glacial, as they strain to find any more twists and turns in a series that - while riveting in its first season - is hopelessly bloated this time around. And as for the "characters" themselves? The Barnets? Natalia? The Mans? These people are all grifters; I've never seen so many egregiously fake tears and implausible allegations of trauma. (Dressing her up like a GARDEN GNOME? Seriously...?) Michael and Natalia are both big-time WHINERS. WHINE, WHINE, WHINE. And Michael makes for exhausting television. Before he can croak out a single word, he has to offer an OMINOUS PAUSE, then at least THREE EYE ROLLS, than a balletic HAND GESTURE....then maybe two syllables, and it all happens again. Maddening to watch. And the legal expert, with the rinsed blonde hair and overly emphatic delivery???? What is in that green cup? STRAIGHT VODKA? Sometime she comments on legal records... sometimes on newspaper accounts... sometimes on a clip she's just seen.... the producers are using her to provide transitional exposition, but she just seems DRUNK....! The whole thing is a haphazard train wreck, as sloppily assembled as Natalia's own adoption papers.... and about as exciting as watching slow-mo footage of a Tilt-A-Whirl.... Save me. Save us.

I hate Natalia. She’s a would-be murderer and had a fully developed pussy and pubic hair at birth. She’s bad luck everywhere she goes! Beware!

I lasted until the part with Michael started. I realized all he wants in the world is attention and so I refuse to give it to him. What a repulsive wretch of a human being.

I realize Kristine refused to meet with the producers, but obviously they contacted her and know where she's living and what she's up to. Why didn't they include that?

It made me laugh when that big queen Michael sashayed his goofy ass out of the meeting with the midget; screaming, in tears, and took off in his Miata.
How do they expect us to believe he is straight?

The blond lawyer had to be played by Julie Halston or Jean Smart when they make the inevitable HULU mini series. Natalia is a horrible actress. She’s trying so hard to cry in some scenes but no tears come. It’s hilarious.

I believe Natalia is some kind of sociopath but that family who adopted her seems awful. She probably went along with the adult story because she was glad to be rid of them

Am late to this and am wondering, three episodes in, why I find Natalia so hard to like. On paper, I would find her plight moving. On screen? I’m completely untouched by her. And That bogus, snotty ‘crying’. She’s awful. And then her ridiculous priggishness about swearing! I think this is a case where both parties are awful and Natalia is as much aggressor as victim.
