Jan Broberg got a chance to see one of the houses where A Friend of the Family was filmed, which isn’t unusual for a producer of a TV show. But Jan Broberg isn’t just a producer. She’s also one of the subjects of the new Peacock miniseries that recounts her multiple abductions during her childhood, so she got to see how the crew recreated her family’s old house.Article continues below advertisement
“I was very involved,” Jan told Vanity Fair.

The cast and crew of A Friend of the Family filmed the miniseries in the Atlanta metropolitan area, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“Alongside Jan and Mary Ann Broberg, Nick and [executive producer] Alex [Hedlund] have brought humanity to a delicate and haunting story,” said Beatrice Springborn, president of Universal Content Productions in a statement. “As he demonstrated with The Act, and now with this series, Nick treats real people not as caricatures but as complex and layered.

“This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.”
 <h2>Critics call the show  fascinating  and  meticulous  </h2>
After 12 reviews from critics, A Friend of the Family — which is now streaming on Peacock — currently has a Metascore of 73 on Metacritic, indicating “generally favorable reviews.”
Paste critic Whitney Friedlander, for example, writes, “What’s fascinating about A Friend of the Family, and also what makes it different than a lot of other scripted takes on true crime, is that the series doesn’t so much try to answer the why of how this happened. … Instead, it looks at the how of it.”
And IndieWire’s Steve Greene also deems A Friend of the Family a departure for true crime dramatizations, writing, “It is meticulous, to a very specific end and with a particular goal. As something that slot right into a subgenre’s content-hungry ecosystem, A Friend of the Family is refreshingly unsuccessful.
