The Affair plot
The Affair explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship. Noah is a school teacher and writer in New York City who is happily married but turns away from dependence on his wealthy father-in-law. Alison is a young waitress trying to pick up her life and marriage after a tragedy. Set in Montauk on the fringes of Long Island, the provocative drama unfolds from both the male and female perspectives, using the selective memories of both to tell the story. Detective Jeffries interrogates the two about what happened that summer to solve his murder case.

In the past 1.5 years I have heard of people who binge watch. This has never happened to me during my entire Netflix subscription. Until I saw this series.
This series really has everything: tension, sex, humor, wonder, the incomprehensibility of people, sadness, pain, light-heartedness, infatuation, uncertainty, mystery and a complete immersion in the strange life that people can sometimes have.
The protagonists know how to create a setting that you as a viewer of series can only enjoy. Bouncers are Dominic West and Ruth Wilson. Both play the splashes off the screen. Dominic West (Noah) is inimitable, sometimes a child, sometimes a good father, unreliable and blissfully endearing.
Ruth Wilson shows all sides of what, to me, is the incomprehensibility and elusiveness of women. She really shows you all the angles of all the emotions a woman can have. On the one hand, you could fall in love with her character so much while two minutes later you would love to get rid of her.
There are several common threads in the story. From the affair in series 1 you are slowly sucked into the murder story that goes with it.
Man, what a series. I binged. 16 episodes (after a slow start) in 2 days. Full house with 5 stars.

Good series. The first season was already good, but since that was really just about the affair, it got a bit monotonous. Even though the characters were well developed and the acting more than fine. With this season the level is maintained, but a lot more happens so that season 2 is ultimately better than the first.

Extremely disappointing season, with a dip in quality where I am almost immediately finished with the series. For some reason, the writers thought it would be a good idea to put Noah and Alison together on screen as little as possible. Daring, but a huge mistake as far as I'm concerned; their chemistry together is what made the series for me. In addition, a strange role for Fraser that appears on the scene as an obsessive prison guard; with a storyline that 1) makes no sense and 2) goes nowhere. Too bad everyone, showrunner Treem wants the series to stay 'fresh' and not to be repeated so badly that she doesn't really take the parties involved into account, IMO.
