The degree to which you become involved in the new domestic drama The Family depends on how much you believe that a single event can alter and utterly redefine a family. In this production, a young man who has been gone for a decade — he was thought dead, murdered — returns home to find that his absence has altered the trajectory of every other member of his family. One moment, we see the boy, Adam (Liam James), playful and curious, horsing around with his parents, Claire and John Warren (Joan Allen and Rupert Graves) and his siblings Danny and Willa (Friday Night Lights’s Zach Gilford and The Newsroom’s Alison Pill).
