If there ever was a show that seemed built for a single season it was “The Affair” (Showtime, 9 p.m.). But it went on, with a second season that was about the aftermath of the first and a third that was just about disillusion.
For the fourth season, Noah Soloway has moved to California, following his wife’s move there with the kids after her new partner snared a top job at a hospital. There’s still all of those divorced dad problems struggling to see kids who maybe don’t want to see you anyway. And besides the cast of Dominic West and Maura Tierney (the other couple, Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson con’t appear in tonight’s season premiere), “The Affair” has that marvelous conceit of looking at a situation from two sides, which may be more necessary now than ever.
Two stories comprise “Man in an Orange Shirt” on “Masterpiece” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings). The first is set just after World war II when homosexuality was all but illegal, then jumps to the present time, when a grandson navigates contemporary gay life.
The new series “Deep State” (Epix, 9 p.m.) may share its title with a discredited right wing U.S. term, it’s actually an imported U.K. action spy series starring Mark Strong as an Mi6 agent brought back into action to avenge the death of his son.
“The Fourth Estate” (Showtime, 8 p.m.) reaches its fourth and final episode, following the New York Times team in the first year of the Trump administration. The actions in 2017 seem so long ago, s former national security adviser Michael Flynn pleas guilty to lying to FBI.
The second season start of “Talking with Chris Hardwick” was yanked at the last minute Saturday after allegations of abuse by a past girlfriend that he denies. What will replace it tonight? Probably a replay of the new episode of “Into the Badlands” (AMC, 10 p.m). The previous seven episodes of the season are run as well today starting at 2:45 p.m.
The second to last new “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown” (CNN, 9 p.m.) we’ll ever have is set in New Orleans.

It’s Luis Guzman vs. Gabriel Iglesias and Charli XCX vs. Tove Lo on “Drop the Mic” (TBS, 10:30 p.m.).
