MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
September 23, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: Two different drama series, on two different networks, begin their new seasons tonight with plots that are remarkably similar: In order to survive, and combat the bad guys, a team of heroes goes underground, adopting new identities to evade detection while planning their next moves against the evil forces amassed against them. On this series, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), already revived from the dead at the start of this series, has to exercise his talents for rebirth once again, as he gathers what’s left of S.H.I.E.L.D. and recruits new faces as well. This allows for some new recurring guest stars, including – ready? – Lucy Lawless, who shows up tonight as a trusted former colleague of Coulson’s, and who is a great get for any series, genre or otherwise.
