Highly recommend The Affair. It’s told Rashomon-style with each episode showing events from one character’s POV and then from another character’s POV. For instance, when the male lead remembers one meeting with his lover, she is dressed provocatively. When she remembers the same meeting, her clothing is the same color, the same items, but looks very ordinary. There are similar fascinating details of conversations which each character remembers a little differently, parts of conversations which one character deems very important while the other character remembers just a general conversational babble, etc. Incredible performances by Dominic West, Ruth Wilson and especially Maura Tierny as the betrayed wife. OK I have just decided to revisit the whole series 😄

Diane, does "The Affair" pick up the pace after the first two episodes? The episodes seem very slow . Thanks!

Jeanine, Amazon Prime now has The Affair for free. I am not very far into the series, but yes to nudity.
