Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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, married for 20 years with 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. |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The Lobster Roll restaurant actually exists in Montauk, but is closed in the winter. See more » |
| Goofs | There are more episodes than not that, during the recaps, used scenes that weren't in any episodes (cut/deleted/alternate scenes). Makes an already confusing storyline more-so. (It's what is known as an unreliable narrator in prose. So it's a feature not a flaw of this drama.) See more » |
