I'm not sure if there was already a thread for this show. I couldn't find one if there was.

The Affair is a fantastic drama that I only checked out because of Dominic West but was blown away by how engaging the story was. Each episode is told from the (unreliable) perspective of both participants in the titular affair: Noah Solloway, a highschool English teacher/ recently newly published author, married to the sole heir of a very successful and wealthy author (played by fellow Wire alumni John Doman), and Alison Bailey, a emotionally unstable waitress.

Since this is a spoiler thread I guess I'll make anything below this post a full season discussion, but if you're on the fence about watching this show I'd heavily recommend it, even if you aren't typically a fan of dramas.

I guess I'll just say that I loved the differing perspectives on the events, especially how they proceeded to get further and further out of wack as the season went on. The way that they differed so much in the last episode makes me think that Season 2 could even have two seperate storylines, going back to Noah's conversation about parallel universes in Ep 2

I watched because of the Golden Globes. I enjoyed the hell out of it and fell in love with Maura Tierney

Same, I'm on Team Helen and have a Celeb Crush on her. She's going to be 50 in a few days :psyduck:
