Natalia Grace Barnett is a Ukrainian-born American with dwarfism, who, in 2010, was adopted by an American family but abandoned by them two years later. Barnett's adoptive parents claimed that Barnett was a legal adult, and, in 2012, they successfully sought a court order legally changing her birth year from 2003 to 1989.
MAX now features two seasons of the ID channel's series on Natalia's case featuring interviews with Natalia, her adoptive father Michael Barnett, her new adoptive parents, "legal experts", and various characters who encountered Natalia during this turmoil. Almost everyone involved is pretty awful and Michael easily takes the top prize for most unhinged human being to ever appear on television.
Cash and Joel review both seasons of the docuseries and raise questions over the validity of its content. Both hosts had different perspectives while watching as Joel went into it not knowing anything about it while Cash had some forewarning about how the two seasons play out, so it's interesting to see how their opinions differ and align.
