But the thing I appreciated most about the first four episodes of Billions’ fourth season is the way they go about changing things: The characters are the same, but most of the relationships have inverted. If you didn’t, well, the same idea applies. That assessment may sound a touch milquetoast - more of the same, but different! And it’s true: If you liked Billions before, you will continue to like it now. Season four of Billions charts a middle path, shifting around enough of its usual architecture to feel fresh, while also continuing to follow most of its original characters and stories. Some shows do the opposite, blowing everything up to start completely fresh, an option that usually involves major casting changes, time jumps, or entirely new premises. When TV shows have been around for a few seasons, sometimes they get relaxed and hit the autopilot button.
