Great cast…have loved Dominic West since The Wire!!

So, basically… Betrayal: the Cable Version? Yeah, I’ll pass. I don’t know why networks keep churning out these shows and expect us to relate to – or feel sympathetic towards – these characters who are, simply put, cheaters. They’re irredeemable. Period.

I LOVE anything to do with illicit affairs—very exciting, can’t wait!

Sooo…Joshua’s character dies? Maura’s character dies? Both die? Murdered?

Thought it would have a MUCH darker tone to it; more of like a psychological thriller. But, oh well.

I was excited until I heard it was through Noah and Allison’s POV, which means like his role on Fringe, Josh will be doing NOTHING and will just being the one dimensional husband that he was on Fringe.

Definitely going to check out The Affair. I like Dominic West from The Wire as well as Maura Tierney. Looks like a good show.

I have trouble believing any woman would cheat on Joshua Jackson.

That was my first thought when he came on screen lol. Than I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Not my usual type of show, but this cast + Showtime. Ill definitely give it a try.

Dawson’s Creek for adults and Joshua Jackson could be naked in this show? I’m there

I’m sorry, but the casting is a joke even for an adult audience. Joshua Jackson is way too hot for the rest of the cast. I buy Tierney and West as a couple, but West as Jackson’s wife’s lover? In what universe?
