Good American Family finally brought an end to its explosive narrative with a big trial involving Natalia Grace (played by Imogen Faith Reid). Even before that, the series had garnered significant traction in the previous weeks, primarily because of the harrowing true story that the series follows.
With a star cast and many good elements in the production, Good American Family has many things that are worthy of appreciation. But one thing that really stands out in the show is its clever use of music. The series was scored by Marcelo Zarvos, the Brazilian pianist and composer behind acclaimed works like The Equalizer 3 and Dark Waters.
The score is exceptional, but the series also features some great songs that add great flavors to the episodes and Natalia Grace's story. Let us check out all the songs that were used throughout the eight episodes of Good American Family.
