ESCAPING THE NXIVM CULT: A MOTHER’S FIGHT TO SAVE HER DAUGHTER 8 p.m. on Lifetime. This June, Keith Raniere, the leader of an organization known as Nxivm, was convicted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, ending a trial that exposed the secretive group’s inner workings. Nxivm presented itself as a personal fulfillment program, but some of its female members say they were recruited into a secret society within the group, known as D.O.S., where they were branded, threatened with blackmail and assigned to have sex with Raniere. It’s no wonder, then, that the operations of the enclave, which prosecutors likened to that of a “horror movie,” serve as the inspiration for this made-for-TV film. Based on the tell-all memoir “Captive,” by the actress Catherine Oxenberg, the film follows Oxenberg’s struggle to free her daughter, India, from the group’s secret society. Peter Facinelli plays the enigmatic Nxvim leader, and Sara Fletcher plays Allison Mack, the “Smallville” actress who pleaded guilty to charges of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy related to her involvement in the group.

DRUNK PARENTS 8 p.m. on Starz. Alec Baldwin, Salma Hayek and Jim Gaffigan star in this comedy that follows the misadventures of an upper-class couple after they realize that they’re actually broke. To keep their daughter enrolled at her private university, Frank (Baldwin) and Nancy (Hayek) scramble to make some extra money through a network of half-baked neighborhood schemes, like renting out their wealthy neighbor’s mansion while he’s out of the country.
