A Friend of the Family plot

A Friend of the Family is based on the harrowing true story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over the years by a charismatic, obsessed family friend. Devoted to their faith, family and community, the Brobergs were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, tear them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently changed - and how they survived.

A series about a pedophile who makes girls do things they don't want with all kinds of stories. Even though it was quite a scary story, I didn't think this series was anything special. After a few episodes it started to irritate me how naive the girl was. I was also 12,14 and 16 years old in the seventies, but even though I'm not the smartest, I would never believe this.

The best thing about the series was the beautiful seventies music, what horrible music is being made now I would think, or am I getting old?

The true story of the Broberg family, who are also central to the popular Netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight. Unfortunately, Robert Berchtold was never held accountable for his crimes, and committed suicide in November 2005 at the age of 69.

A dramatized version of this true story about the kidnapping and rape of Jan Broberg. Definitely recommended for viewers who followed Abducted in Plain Sight.

3.5 *
