Fans of gripping dramas will be pleased to hear the update about one TV show viewers say will make you 'laugh, cry and scratch your head'. A captivating and binge-worthy ITV drama has received welcome news - which viewers will undoubtedly celebrate.
About 'The Affair'
The Affair initially premiered on Showtime in America, spanning five series from 2014 through 2019. The programme stars Dominic West and Ruth Wilson as Noah Solloway and Alison Bailey, who begin an adulterous liaison while remaining wed to their respective spouses. Conceived by Sarah Treem and Hagai Lev, the series delves into the emotional and psychological ramifications of infidelity that shattered two marriages, alongside the criminal act that reunites these characters.
Critical Acclaim
With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 85% and 7.9 out of 10 on IMDb, The Affair has garnered multiple awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Drama. ITV announced earlier this year it had acquired the programme, releasing all 53 episodes on its streaming platform, ITVX, starting with series 1 through 3.
Season 4 Release Date
Following a considerable delay, it's now confirmed that series four will become available to stream from Sunday 5th July. The fourth instalment discovers Noah, Helen (Maura Tierney), Alison and Cole (Joshua Jackson) occupying separate worlds, estranged from one another, drifting increasingly distant from their origins. Each character has entered a fresh relationship, compelling them to determine whether they're prepared to permanently abandon their past - with the series exploring fresh starts, devastating conclusions and the perpetually elusive prospect of forgiveness.
Fan Reactions
Throughout the years, The Affair has garnered widespread acclaim from both audiences and critics alike. One viewer on IMDB proclaimed: 'This is the best tv show ever. They don't make tv shows like this. This is drama at its best. Superb writing and cast of actors, so much talent in this one show. I wish there were 10 seasons of this because it never gets old, it never gets tiring or dull or pointless like many other shows do.'
Another viewer commented: 'It's an addictive show to watch, certainly because of the way the story is told. The plot unfolds slowly by telling the story like each character sees it, or remembers it. Each character sees or remembers the story differently and that's what made this show stands out from the rest. You never really know who tells the truth or lies.'
A third wrote: 'This show is unbelievably beautiful. It will make you laugh, cry, scratch your head, and wonder what the heck is going on. But most importantly, it always leaves you wanting more. The last episode was so perfect- I won't ruin it for those who have not seen yet but I am telling you this show is so awesome and is a must watch!!!'
The Affair seasons 1-3 are available to watch on ITVX. Season 4 drops in July.
