The Affair on Showtime

It's definitely taking more twists and turns. I posted about this season a few weeks ago and got zero responses- I thought everyone had given up on the series.

i think this season is out of left field. ITs like they were in a rush to write season 3

hopefully this season is setting up for season 4 and 5 because if not, it was just a bad season and the show will be getting cancelled soon.

How has S3 been so far?

I got fairly pissed off with that series after the season finale of S2.

I think they made it clear that the abuse was fake, as were the in-cell visits. I don't think Gunther paid Noah any particular attention beyond introducing himself. Meeting someone from home he perceived as jealous of his escape and the stress of being in prison were the seeds for his guilt over mom to resurface.

I thought the Helen segment was really good, and I usually find her boring. It was alternately funny and poignant. Noah lied to himself for over 30 years. Helen can't make it past three. Interesting contrast.

I really liked the realism of seasons 1 and 2, but think this one is silly and the show has gone way off the rails. I don't care about any of the characters now. The title doesn't even fit anymore.

The original story has run its course and the show is now something entirely different. This was alluded to in one of the episodes when the younger son remarked about his reading Jane Eyre that, 'first you think it is a romance but then turns into a thriller.'

I had to check my DVR to make sure I didn't miss like 3 episodes

So he went to tracking down the prison guard to winding up in Paris?

Yes it was

Watched yesterday, it was terrible.

Though I missed a few episodes as well until I went to IMDB.
