Fox's "Lie to Me" (9 tonight, WPGH) returns for a second season with a new showrunner at the helm: Shawn Ryan, creator/exeuctive producer of "The Shield."
"Lie to me" remains a procedural and a good one at that but the show seems to building in more focus on its regular characters, which began last season. That's certainly something Ryan excels at.
Three stories run through tonight's episode: A young woman (Erika Christensen) claims she had a psychic vision of a murder, the Lightman Group has to vet a potential Supreme Court nominee and the ex-wife (Jennifer Beals) of Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) drops a bombshell on him.
"Lie to Me" is not a show I would watch every week but I would certainly watch it over NBC's "Heroes," which I have officially given up on. (I actually recorded last week's "Heroes" season premiere but never got around to watching it after hearing not-great reviews from friends who did watch.)
