The Affair: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Dominic West is the married man who embarks on a risky extra-marital relationship
Year: 2014-2019
Certificate: 15
Clever and critically acclaimed drama that not only looks at an extra-marital affair, but examines the idea of how each of us sees our own history. It starts with a chance meeting between Noah Solloway (Dominic West), a father-of-four frustrated with his life, and waitress Alison Bailey (Ruth Wilson) who's struggling with the loss of her son.
In the first series all we know is that both are telling the story of their affair to someone in authority; and both have their own versions of it. Over five seasons we follow what happens not only to the protagonists but their families as well, with Noah's wife beautifully played by ER stalwart Maura Tierney. It is never not satisfying. (Five series)
