This Is Us - Season 4 (2019 Dan Fogelman)

The opening episode, 'Strangers', in fantastic. Who is this female soldier from Afghanistan? Who is this young black man who has a child? And this blind guy with a little white dog? It's fabulous.

The side-effects of Randall's therapy are devastating. (Pamela Adlon is the therapist.) Great bit of misdirection when Rebecca gets lost - only we're seeing a flash forward to another time.

Lyric Ross's day out in Philadelphia. (Her new boyfriend is Asante Blackk.)

Edited (in rotation as usual) by Howard Leder, Julia Grove and Lai-San Ho (and Susan Vaill). The transitions from past to present are done so artfully (a door closing / another opening). Brilliant stuff between Kevin and Nicky, who at times appears as Jack.
