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.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
seaart-41866 Bad Bad Bad. Good actors, but the movie is one of the badest movies I have seen in the last 40 years. !!!!!
disco_dre Every character on this show, bar none, is intensely unlikeable.
windsorenquirer This show used to be great, very interesting, Season 4 is so boring that it's unwatchable right now, I wish I could just fast forward it and be done with it, I keep losing patience and interest but still I hope it might get better like it used to be.
michanjankovic-42282 To me, this show is something new and authentic and real. I have never watched a TV show that has two POWs and I it is realistically presented because the characters are wearing different clothes in the same situations but in different POWs. It show how much something means to a character, how Noah sees Alison. She is always dressed nicely and has her hair done. But in her POW she is a mess. It helps us see their internal pictures of themselves, too. I loved when they went back and forth in time. I wasn't confusing, it made sense. It kind of has a circular narration, which is very unusual but it works here. All in all, this show is very refreshingly good after all those disappointing shows that are screened recently. I love it.
