Gervais has a stand-up special on Netflix today called “Humanity.” Also available on Netflix: the film special “Children of the Whales,” the first season of “Terrace House: Opening New Doors” and the special “Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters.” Freeform celebrates the 100th episode of “The Fosters” at 8 p.m., followed by the fifth season finale at 9 p.m. Investigat­ion Discovery Channel will air “Web of Lies” at 9 p.m., the story of Audrie Pott, a 15-year-old sophomore from Saratoga who was the subject of public shaming and harassment after lewd photos of her were shared. Audrie felt so trapped, she took the only way out she could think of. The special includes interviews with Audrie’s parents and friends, and others. The sixth season of “The Big Interview With Dan Rather” kicks off on AXS TV with a chat with music legend Robert Plant at 9 p.m. Season five of “Forged in Fire” launches on the History Channel at 9 p.m. “This Is Us” wraps its second season on NBC at 9 p.m. Season two of “The Book of John Gray” premieres p.m. ABC on premieres OWN at “For 10 the People,” an overwrough­t and moderately engaging drama about young lawyers working for the Southern District Court of New York. The characters are sketches and types, and the scripts overloaded with speechifyi­ng. If it calms down and stops preaching, it could be a decent show. It launches at 10 p.m. Also premiering tonight is“Rise ” at 10 on NBC ,a high school musical drama series starring Josh Radnor and Rosie Perez.
