Why ‘Almost Family’ Feels Familiar To Netflix Viewers
October 2, 2019
Fox’s “Almost Family” follows the bonding experience after only child Julia Bechley discovers her dad, a famous fertility doctor, used his own sperm and fathered dozens of children. If that sounds familiar, it might be because it was already a show on Netflix.
Fox’s dramedy is a remake of the Australian comedy “Sisters.” The Aussie show had the same premise, and the three leading ladies were similar. Julia is the awkward one, Edie is the high-powered lawyer who grew up with Julia as a family friend and Roxy is the one in the spotlight with some serious issues.
