Storyline
At once deeply observed and intriguingly elusive, The Affair explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher and budding novelist with a wife of twenty years and four children. Alison is a young waitress and wife from Montauk at the end of Long Island, trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy. The provocative drama unfolds separately from multiple perspectives, using the distinct memory biases of each character to tell the story. Created by Sarah Treem.

I was very intrigued by the show during the first couple seasons. Now, as the 5th and final one begins, I am very ready for it to be done. The fact I find no positive qualities in any of the characters (including the petulant monster children) means the actors must be doing their job well. Coupled with a very stupid theme song, the show has run its course. Fare thee well.
