THE AFFAIR

I’m not really a watcher of television, but on the occasion that I am, it is generally of the BBC variety (Sherlock, Downton Abbey, Mr. Selfridge, you get the picture). However, the tremendously compelling ad for the new Showtime drama, The Affair, has been EVERYWHERE. And we just happened to be in Montauk, where The Affair is set, over this past weekend when it premiered. It was calling. I must say, it is very smart and very intriguing, told from two distinct points of view (male and female) and in a way, not wholly about the affair for which it has been titled. I quite earnestly await the next episode.
