Nov 30, 2016Fails to entertain. The first episode was 55 minutes of brooding, moping, and hallucinating. If that's your thing then this is your show. If you like a couple minutes of fun mixed in with your drama then you'll have to look elsewhere. Absolutely no one is having fun on this show. Even the sex scene stopped before the sex. What a waste of talent.

Fueled by a bevy of strong central performances led by the always impeccable Dominic West, consistently clever writing, and Marcelo Zarvos’ deft musical accompaniment, The Affair continues to defy expectations with a fervent third outing.

Each individual hour of The Affair holds your attention, and perhaps it’s best to just keep watching before deciding whether the overarching narrative is cohering in a satisfying way.

It’s better to simply note that The Affair succeeds by becoming a tangled mess--but that mess has considerably less appeal this time. The only way through, of course, depends on Tierney’s unerring performance as Helen.
