The Affair
Drama58 min per episode
A married schoolteacher spending the summer in Montauk begins an affair with a local waitress, and what starts as a secret escape quickly spreads damage through two families. Noah is restless in his own marriage; Alison is grieving and stranded in a life that feels sealed off from change. Their attraction pulls them together, but every meeting deepens the lies they tell at home and sharpens the fallout with spouses, children, and the people around them. The series returns to the same events from different points of view, turning memory into part of the conflict as each person tells a different version of what happened. With Dominic West and Ruth Wilson, the story keeps shifting between desire, guilt, and the consequences neither can contain.
