SEASON PREMIERE: It’s Season 4, and the principal characters of this
Rashomon-style love story continue to intersect and interact. It’s no longer a love triangle, or even a pentagon, and new sides are being added all the time. But as the new season begins, a year has passed in the show’s narrative, and things are notably different. Alison (Ruth Wilson) has remained in New York, as a crisis counselor. Noah (Dominic West), with whom she had one of this show’s titular affairs, has moved to Los Angeles, taking a new job as a professor. Helen (Maura Tierney), Noah’s ex, has moved to L.A. too, with their children and with a new boyfriend. And speaking of exes: Alison’s ex, Cole (Joshua Jackson), is still around too, remarried but unable to let go of his feelings for Alison. And here we go again, with more unreliable perspectives than ever.
