It's been called a "masterpiece" 😲👇
The Affair is about – you guessed it – an affair! Specifically, it follows Alison, a young, married waitress who meets a teacher from New York, and they hit it off.
“Alison, a young woman waiting tables at a popular Hamptons diner, [is] trying to piece her life back together in the wake of a tragedy,” the synopsis reads.
“Her husband Cole struggles to keep it all together, with his wife and with the financially-strained ranch that has been in his family for generations.”
However, things become complicated when Alison meets Noah, a “New York City public school teacher and aspiring novelist who is spending the summer at his in-laws’ estate out in the Hamptons.”
He has a wife: Helen, Noah’s college sweetheart, best friend, mother of his children, lover and wife of 17 years.
The series was created by Sarah Treem and Hagai Levi. Tream was an executive producer on Netflix’s House of Cards, while Levi worked on Scenes from a Marriage.
