Fox's Almost Family Starts With a Fertile But Cringeworthy Premise

What if you found out your father, a renowned fertility doctor, secretly impregnated hundreds of women with his own sperm? That's the disturbing premise behind a new Fox series premiering tonight that's already stirring controversy. Meanwhile, if it's outrage that you're in the market for, Netflix has just the docuseries for you. 

SERIES PREMIERE: Inspired by the true story of an Indiana fertility doctor, Almost Family stars Brittany Snow as a young woman whose world is blown apart when she suddenly learns she has dozens upon dozens of half-siblings in the world -- including her former best friend (played by Vixen's Megalyn Echikunwoke). Read our pilot script review. 9:00 PM ET on Fox

DOCUSERIES PREMIERE: Produced by Selena Gomez, Netflix's new docuseries Living Undocumented follows eight undocumented immigrant families living in the United States. As our Aaron Barnhart writes, the six-part series shines a light on the disastrous immigration policies and brutal methods being employed by the Trump administration. Watch the trailer. Streaming on Netflix

NEW EPISODE: If looking you're looking for some much-needed escapist entertainment, The Masked Singer is your best bet. Tonight, four more celebrity singers perform in outrageous costumes for an audience that just can't quite place where they've heard that voice before. 8:00 PM ET on Fox

NEW EPISODE: Our own Joe Reid has some words for the producers of Survivor after last week's out-of-left-field elimination. Hopefully this week's episode won't be quite as much of a head scratcher as the tribes look for immunity at the end of a difficult climb.  Meanwhile, one of the castaways sets his mind to work on a fresh challenge. 8:00 PM ET on CBS

SEASON PREMIERE: Jason (David Boreanaz) leads a mission to Serbia in the season premiere of SEAL Team, where he and his crew hunt a group linked to the bombings of several American military posts. 9:00 PM ET on CBS

SEASON PREMIERE: On the season premiere of S.W.A.T., the team works to stop a serial bomber who is using drones in his targeted explosions. 10:00 PM ET on CBS
