I've been watching this television series off and on for about 3 weeks. I'd get bored and uninterested and not watch for days. The final episode was a tear jerker. Great acting by them all.
"The Affair" explores the emotional/psychological effects of two affairs. Young diner waitress Alison and her husband, rancher Cole, are struggling -- personally and financially -- in the wake of tragedy. Noah, a settled teacher and would-be novelist, is summering at his in-laws' Hamptons estate with his wife, Helen, and four kids. When Noah meets Alison, they begin an affair. For her, he's a welcome escape; for him, she's a pretty distraction. But, the tryst eventually ends two marriages -- one that was already a bit shaky, the other that was on solid ground.![05c2f179-37dd-4313-905c-34e9c9fcef18-Affair_511_1568_R[1].jpg](https://www.seniorforums.com/data/attachments/220/220597-f695a9c97497346167cf1ed24662fc88.jpg "05c2f179-37dd-4313-905c-34e9c9fcef18-Affair_511_1568_R[1].jpg")
