Synopsis: The season ended with Nathan Petrelli getting shot at a press conference where he was about to reveal his superpower. This season, his shooter is revealed and everyone has to deal with all the bad guys locked up in Level 5 being released.

My Take: After last season doing a poor job introducing new characters while ignoring fan favorites, this season is trying hard to win those fans back. I’ve stuck with it so far, so I’ll give it a shot.

Lipstick Jungle
Channel: NBC
Time: 10/9c
Premieres: Thu, Feb 7
Starring: Brooke Shields, Lindsay Price, Kim Raver, Andrew McCarthy, Julian Sands, Paul Blackthorne, David Norona, David Alan Basche

Synopsis: The other show that is like Sex and the City, but it is the one that comes from the follow-up book of the same name by Candace Bushell, who is the writer of the book that inspired Sex and the City.
