- TriviaThe Lobster Roll restaurant actually exists in Montauk, but is closed in the winter.
- GoofsThere are more episodes than not that, during the 'previously, on The Affair' recaps, used scenes that weren't in any episodes (cut/deleted/alternate scenes). Makes an already confusing storyline more-so.

Featured review
the theme may be done to death, but the execution is excellent
The theme has been done to death, but this time prepare to be pleasantly surprised, for the execution of this short series is quite good and features not only lust but also the characters' psychological descent as influenced by loss, poor communication, and bad parenting.
I have just finished the entire first season, and I must say, it was not at all what I expected. I thought it would be a simple, sexy, scandalous story full of clichés; instead I found myself more and more drawn to a deeper, psychologically complex drama that perfectly illustrates how there are three sides to each story: his version, her version, and the truth. Expect solid performance, melancholic scenery, careful art direction, and excellent choice of costumes as per each character's persona.
Oh and you have got to love the opening theme performed by Fiona Apple.
