The psychological effects of an extramarital relationship between a married waitress at a Hamptons diner and a teacher who spends his summer at his in-laws' estate on the island.
I liked this finale a lot, when I wasn't busy being distracted by the differences in POV. But I also don't think it's a coincidence that one of my favorite episodes of the season had so little to do with the central couple as a couple.
The Affair clearly had one great, twisty season in it, and let's be thankful for that. But the unwanted question left dangling by Sunday's cliffhanger... is what the show itself has left in the tank for an encore.
Who would ever expect a show called The Affair to be largely about grief? Because from Alison's perspective, over 10 weeks, that's what it's been. And Alison's confrontation with Cole just cements that.
Well, the season one finale of The Affair manages to be exactly that. It's a maddening, frustrating, soapy, compelling, occasionally hilarious, entertaining mess, and I somehow equally loved and hated it at the same time.
