[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the pills are making Noah hallucinate. [b]I hate how they just won't let us like Helen.[/b] I still feel sorry for her for not being able to get over Noah. In the first season, they didn't really try to make like she was a horrible person and that or problems in the marriage contributed to the affair. They seemed to have a fairly solid marriage, 4 kids and 18 years into it. I don't like them making her so utterly unrelatable.

I agree that the show is verging on having all the characters so flawed and morally repugnant that you can't care about them. I can't help but think the uneven character development comes from the fact that it was not originally conceived as a series but as, I think, a several episode drama or a one season thing. I think I read that somewhere, and it rings sort of true.[/quote]

I can buy that it was meant to be a short series, but I'm glad they're uncovering more of the relationship before the moment of departure.  Because nothing about "The Affair" made sense, unless you're content to believe the failure was all one-sided.  It's only taken Helen five years or so to realize she played a part in it.

I want to feel sorry for Helen, but that interplay with Max was even more despicable than what Noah did with Alison.  She's even worse with her parenting.[/quote]
