    Was flicking between this and the champions league last night. Didn't seem to be too bad but it's not really the type of show I would watch.

    It's an interesting way to film it for sure, but I just feel there is something missing from it. I find that I don't really care all too much for either of the main characters.

    Did anyone notice a sound issue on Sky Atlantic?

    Dialogue was fine, but background/activity sound was tinny/echoey?

    Caught the first two episodes on Sky Atlantic and while thoroughly enjoying it, I also found it a bit weird. I like it's originality though.

    They have the third episode on tonight so I'll keep going with it!

    I think they saw "a good thing" and decided on a second season, a bit like Broadchurch, but The Affair has botched it before the end of the first season.

    I enjoyed the whole thing, apart from the final confrontation, which seemed contrived, rushed and off-kilter to me. I think they re-filmed the final episode to engineer a cliffhanger after they'd been renewed for a second season. It just didn't fit.

    Looks a bit "Revengy" to me.

    "I don't want her anywhere near my kids" - what a cliché line.

    I agree, I enjoyed watching season 1, there was some fantastic acting and Alison really brought gritty human drama to life inside a slightly tired, cliched old tale of an affair mixed with a "who done it". I was very disappointed with the ending, it just didn't fit for me, going into a flashy series 2 looks like it's just promising a perpetuating of the same old story that should've been tied up in season one.

    Looking forward to watching this. Will probably just watch it weekly on Sky Atlantic.

    Loved the 1st Season. Only finished it in about July or so, so I'm itching for more!

    It starts with the small lies, I guess.

    Just picking up season 2 now, a similar style, but I like the introduction of a new focus on Maura Tierney's character, it seems they are broadening out the scope.

    I can see how it may annoy some people, it is very slow and static at times, long shots of characters just sitting. But this suits the style, and it has great music.

    On a slightly separate note, I just discovered a sit-com that Maura Tierney was in in the 90s, called Newsradio. It's not bad, I think all eps. are available on youtube, don't think it was ever shown over here. The remarkable thing is that she looks almost exactly the same now as she did in 1996. She must have great genes, or a great plastic surgeon, or both....

    Google says something Max gave her in an earlier ep - pot.
