The Affair explores the emotional effects of an extramarital relationship between Noah Solloway and Alison Lockhart after the two meet in the resort town of Montauk in Long Island. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher with one novel published (book entitled A Person who Visits a Place) and he is struggling to write a second book. He is happily married with four children, but resents his dependence on his wealthy father-in-law. Alison is a young waitress trying to piece her life and marriage back together in the wake of the tragic death of her child. The story of the affair is told separately, complete with distinct memory biases, from the male and female perspectives.

"I binged this during the pandemic. It’s definitely a #ChickFlick type of SERIES, and it’s not something I’d recommend to everyone (or probably anyone) just because it’s HEAVY SUBJECT MATTER.
There’s a total of 5 seasons, & the entire story takes place over several decades as all parties affected by this extramarital affair try to move forward with their lives.
🌟 Overall, I thought it was an interesting story & a good series, but there were times when I got frustrated with some of the characters & their personalities, actions, or behavior, & in those moments it got tedious. Then at other points in the story, some of what was happening in the lives of certain characters got interesting again. So in the end, it was a decent story & series."

"This show was recommended to me many times via this app and I shied away from it because of it being about an affair. I was afraid I couldn’t handle watching something that could trigger me. I’m so glad I watched this show, I just finished it and it took me the whole summer to watch it. I fell in love with the characters and the way they told their stories. The message this show leaves you with is paramount. I feel I have a new outlook on life and love after seeing it. It’s something I can’t put into words and also don’t want to delve to far into it in a review that may spoil it for someone else. All I can say is, I absolutely recommend this show and no matter what you’re going through in your relationships, this show is for everyone. ❤️"
