Synopsis

The Affair explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship between Noah Solloway and Alison Lockhart after the two meet in the resort town of Montauk in Long Island. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher with one novel published (book entitled A Person who Visits a Place) and he is struggling to write a second book. He is happily married with four children, but resents his dependence on his wealthy father-in-law. Alison is a young waitress trying to piece her life and marriage back together in the wake of the tragic death of her child. The story of the affair is told separately, complete with distinct memory biases, from the male and female perspectives.

Alicia I love this movie so much
CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
hosenoggin-17437 I don't understand this show. I have been giving it every chance to win me over, but it has yet to do so in 4 years of episodes. I kind of got it at first as it was a simple story of cheating on his wife while loving her so much to take the jail time for her. But I can't follow it anymore as there is too many characters with huge plot holes and pointless directions off main story.... caused by the long period of time passing more quickly than the story telling has allowed.
myronlearn This 'Affair' has run its course. The change in venue in Season 4 to sunny California from Brooklyn/Montauk is officially the serie's kiss of death. You wonder which overpaid Showtime producers/ writers/executives came up with this idiotic idea. Remember HBO's 'True Detective'? They tried a change of location in Season 2 and there was no Season 3. And of all places! Southern California? LaLa Land? These lifelong New Yorkers and native Montaukers all decide to try to seek their fortunes in the Golden State? We love the realism here. The move west is perhaps a blessing in disguise. It only demonstrates that this affair has run out of steam. Honestly, the love making scenes between the two main characters are not only boring, but not at all erotic. Yawn! The supporting characters were always far more interesting. California, you can have all these transplanted meatballs. In the end, New York wins!
apollack11 I had read so much positive about this show, noticed it got nominations/awards, so I had to give it a chance, even though I must confess that the premise - an affair - was less than interesting to me in the first place. I did like the concept of different perspectives. So true in life. But it doesn't seem to be going anywhere in any significant way. Am I wrong? Not based on what I have read in other reviews here. Acting is solid, writing pretty good too. And yet, I never felt myself getting into the story. It just couldn't hook me. So unless someone tells me this show gets radically better after the fourth episode, I am moving on.
faizan_nirvana There is something about this show which makes it utterly interesting and seductive at the same time.
