THE AFFAIR
October 12, 2014  | By David Bianculli

Showtime, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
SERIES PREMIERE: The team behind HBO’s excellent In Treatment are back with another home run – this one starring Dominic West from The Wire and Ruth Wilson from Luther as married people – married to other people, that is – who embark on an affair, in a story told, in turn, from his and her point of view. It’s a subtle yet bold drama, demanding viewers to pay close attention, then rewarding that attention with a string of provocative details, twists, revelations and teases. This could well end up as the best new series of the year, so don’t miss it. For my full review on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, visit the Fresh Air website.
