The Gifted (Fox, 9 p.m.): Another day, another Marvel TV series, right? Well, not quite. Although The Gifted certainly features superpowered beings, they’re mostly messed-up kids who need someone to look out for them. Stephen Moyer and Amy Acker star as “ordinary” parents who go to extraordinary lengths to protect their mutant children from organizations like Sentinel Services, which, if you’ve read any X-Men comics or seen one of co-EP Bryan Singer’s films, you’ll recognize as a real threat. After packing his go-bag (which includes his laptop), Jesse Hassenger is ready to go on the run.
