Plot.

The harrowing true story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over a period of years by a charismatic, obsessed family "friend." The Brobergs — devoted to their faith, family, and community — were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.

Wiki.

A Friend of the Family is an American true crime drama television miniseries. Based on true events, it focuses on Robert Berchtold, who in the 1970s twice sexually abused and kidnapped Jan Broberg. The show stars Jake Lacy as Berchtold, and Hendrix Yancey and Mckenna Grace as Broberg at different ages. Colin Hanks, Lio Tipton, and Anna Paquin appear in supporting roles.

Nick Antosca created A Friend of a Family after reading Stolen Innocence: The Jan Broberg Story (2003) and watching Abducted in Plain Sight (2017), both of which discuss Broberg's kidnappings. Antosca thought Broberg's story was too intricate for Abducted in Plain Sight's 90-minute runtime and sought to retell the events with more context and depth. Broberg and her mother Mary Ann served as producers on the show; Jan Broberg was often invited to give the writers suggestions. Episodes were recorded between February and August 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia; and Los Angeles, California. The series was released between October 6 and November 10, 2022, on the streaming service Peacock. Critics gave A Friend of the Family positive reviews, and praised Eliza Hittman's direction and Lacy's performance.
