S3E3 - this show is close to jumping the shark. The new French woman is killing this show. Awful story line. They are speaking themselves too thin.

The final season of Dexter was arguably one of the worst final seasons of a show in the history of television. The writing and tone of S3 of the Affair ha the same tone. So much so that I looked to see if they'd hired the same writers as S8 of Dexter.

It's interesting that this adult drama is following the same formula as some teen angst drama. They moved the setting to a university. They've included the predictable cool/edgy NY flat (Kat Fur), complete with the elevator that gets stuck (foreshadowing). Teachers/professors are now integral characters. Pretentious dinner parties with profs and students.

Noah's prison storyline is more interesting.

Viewers want Allison and Cole. We are watching 2 separate shows now that they've divided the characters and storylines.

This show is crazy! It was all hot and sexy in the beginning with The Affair. Now it is all divorce and sadness of The Consequences.

Now that Joanie has brown hair, are we to assume she is really Noah's?

? There was a DNA test last year.

If anyone can explain the timelines / reality lines to me, I would be so grateful.

I don't know why people have to be rude, I wouldnt mind explaining but I'm not sure I understand what you are talking about. What baby are you referring to? Joanie?

Both episodes were released last week on the Showtime app. They may be On Demand too.

Both episodes can be watched On Demand.

That would take too long. Just pay attention.

I think the back and forth timeline is meant to baffle, but something about it seems lazy. Like a writer going backward from outcomes, but later throwing in new ideas about what happened in the past.

I still enjoy the show, but wish they'd go back to giving two perspectives on the same event. That's what drew me in in the first place.

Anyone still watching the Affair? I watched the first episode of the new season and will watch the second episode later today.
