Reviews
“The Affair compels us to make sense of its twisted, multiple narratives. It unnerves us. It isn't satisfying. It is ceaselessly irritating. It's very good and then it isn't. It is someone else's nightmare we don't want to share but are compelled to look.” – Globe and Mail
“We're now kicking off this new season with tons of new questions about the ongoing mystery between the Solloways, the Butlers and the Lockharts, so let's start pulling back the layers.” – Wall Street Journal
“This is supremely grown-up drama which tackles adult themes in a proudly demanding way. Sometimes it's hard not to wish The Affair wasn't so deeply in thrall to its own central conceit. The rest of the time, you wouldn't want it any other way.” – Daily Telegraph
