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.

What a great surprise. The marketing fell WAY short of explaining the true brilliance of this show. The premise is an affair, yes, but the way they explore memories and how actions have consequences is the show's true intentions. p.s. I love how each of their stories start off fairly similar with small differences such as what each character is wearing. But near the end the differences in story become dramatically different.

**Am I missing something huge?** It feels like there should be a point or something, but all I see are plain stories with some poor attempt to make deep meanings. I'm on episode 7 of the first season, and if this is it, I'm done with this series. I do enjoy acting very much and the scoring is very unique and interesting. However, it's far from enough to get me through any more episodes. I think this is the most boring series I've ever watched. Due to it's popularity, I'm convinced I'm missing the point. It's progressing painfully slow, and barely anything happened the first three episodes. Will it get better? Am I missing the point? Anyone? __I didn't rate this because I only watched the first 7 episodes__ SO BORING Main storyline quality: 1/10 Originality: ?/10 Side storylines quality: 1/10 Progression of main story line: 1/10 Story development: 1/10 Characters: 1/10 Intensity (cliffhangers, edge of seat and the like): -9/10 (yes. negative 9) Acting and directing: 9/10

Show?
This show started off slow for me but quickly caught my attention. Besides all the sex and the main affair, there are seriously messed up story lines that want to make you cry at times. Pretty sad seeing this woman's life fall apart. Great show so far!! I'm really hoping they bring it back for a second season.

I have enjoyed very much the first season and I will wait impatiently the second season (and the third and final, because their creators want to make a trilogy). Thank to Showtime, Sarah Treem, Hagai Levi and the breathtaking crew, cast and writers who have made possible this great show, in particular to Ruth Wilson. She deserves the Emmy for Best Actress this year. Her performance is flawless, realistic and emotional. This series is not about an simple "affair", it is about how love can change everything and not always for the welfare of the characters.
