Americans are fans true crimes, these fictions are inspired by true crime stories. after Love and death On Canal+, OCS is programming the series A family friendwhich is based on a terrible story that happened in the 1970s.
The Brobergs (Colin Hanks and Anna Paquin) then take a liking to Robert Berchtold, a new neighbor who becomes their best friend, their confidant (Jake Lacey White lotus) But in 1974, “Bob” kidnapped Jan, their 12-year-old daughter. To abuse her, he tells her that the aliens chose them to reproduce and save the planet.
When they are discovered by the FBI, parents do not file a complaint for fear of being compromised; “Bob” threatens to reveal his affair with his mother and an embarrassing episode with his father. A child abuser on the loose kidnapped the teenager again two years later before being arrested and briefly committed to a mental institution.
Years later, after realizing the gravity of the facts, the victim would tell her story in a book and then in a Netflix documentary: Jan Broberg’s “Stolen Childhood”., the main inspiration for this series. Which, if unnecessarily stretched over nine episodes, deftly defies control mechanisms and raises interesting questions about people’s cowardice and denial when monsters sometimes lurk among their fellow humans.
