United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"What were the producers of 'Almost Family' thinking? (...) Just let 'Almost' drift away into the abyss"	NEG
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Let’s be honest: No one really wants to think about sperm (...) certainly not every week, for 44 very uncomfortable minutes."	NEG
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"A show whose attempts to introduce tonal variation and lightness only emphasize how gruesome is the story at its center (...) [It] reveals itself as a show with nothing to say at all."	NEG
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Better to just let this one go"	NEG
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] wants to be funny, heartwarming and occasionally provocative, but it's more frequently just a mess."	NEG
