ZOEY'S EXTRAORDINARY PLAYLIST
NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: Is it just me, or has this already impressive and inventive musical drama gotten even more poignant and potent in its post-COVID return? Okay, so it could just be me. But I don’t think so. Zoey, played so perfectly and artfully by Jane Levy, returns for Season 2 trying to deal with her own drama, trauma, and isolation – and almost everyone around her is dealing with challenging problems of his or her own. I’d forgotten how much this series, with its musical interruptions prompted by Zoey’s “gift” of interior, intuitive musical fantasies, gets to the core of real emotions and issues. After previewing tonight’s season-opening premiere, I doubt I’ll ever forget again. For a full review, see Mike Hughes' Open Mike.
