"Almost Family" is a drama series that premiered on FOX in the fall of 2019. The series follows the story of Julia Bechley (Brittany Snow), a young woman who discovers that her father, the famous fertility doctor Leon Bechley (Timothy Hutton), has used his own sperm to conceive over a hundred children throughout his career.

As Julia comes to grips with this shocking revelation, she finds herself drawn to two of her newfound siblings, the fierce and outspoken lawyer Roxy (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and the shy and reserved former Olympic athlete Edie (Jasmine Savoy Brown). Together, the three of them navigate the ups and downs of their complicated new family dynamic while also dealing with their own personal struggles and romantic entanglements.

Throughout the course of the series, the sisters learn to trust each other and rely on one another as they work through the challenges of their past and present. Meanwhile, Leon, who initially denies any wrongdoing or responsibility for his actions, slowly begins to remorsefully accept the full extent of his mistakes and works to make amends with his family and his patients.

As the season progresses, the show delves into complex themes such as identity, family, loyalty, and betrayal, all while balancing the drama with moments of humor and heart. The series explores the different ways that people define and connect with their families, and how they come to terms with unexpected revelations and changes.

In addition to the core trio of sisters, the series features a talented ensemble cast, including Emily Osment as Julia's childhood friend and fellow journalist, Mustafa Elzein as Edie's charming boyfriend, and Mo McRae as Roxy's ex-con brother. The show also tackles topical issues such as immigration and racism, as well as the ethics of reproductive technology.

Overall, "Almost Family" is a compelling and emotional drama that explores the complexities of family relationships in a unique and thought-provoking way. The performances are strong, the writing is sharp, and the story is always engaging, making it a must-watch for fans of character-driven dramas. While the series unfortunately only ran for one season, it left a memorable impression on viewers and cemented its place as a standout show from the 2019-2020 TV season.
