At once deeply observed and intriguingly elusive, The Affair explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher and budding novelist with a wife of twenty years and four children. Alison is a young waitress and wife from Montauk at the end of Long Island, trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy. The provocative drama unfolds separately from multiple perspectives, using the distinct memory biases of each character to tell the story. Created by Sarah Treem.
To previous uptight reviewer...go back to your crap hole country and watch god propaganda all day. some of us can actually watch shows that don't agree with our values and still appreciate the entertainment value. I noticed how offended you are by the affair itself but not about the person murdered..... twisted sense of priorities. I find this show..thought provoking. Maybe one should think of all the things that could go wrong if you have an affair that's why I have no problem with the show being on TV it can be used as a learning tool at least something to make people think. I Beli eve lessons c an be learned while also watching something of interest.
