“Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” returned for its second season on NBC this year with more relationship drama and long-take musical numbers than ever. The comedy-drama stars Jane Levy as Zoey Clarke, a manager at a big tech firm who suddenly develops the power of knowing people’s innermost feelings, as expressed through musical performances. This leads to some awkward encounters but also heartening moments as Zoey guides her friends and family to express how they truly feel.

The series also delves into the personal and professional lives of those friends and family, including Max (Skylar Astin), Zoey’s coworker and friend who harbors a secret crush and Simon (John Clarence Stewart), another co-worker who finds kinship with Zoey. In Season 2, both turn into lovers for Zoey as she tries to figure out who she is and what she wants in life.
