THE AFFAIR (Series – SKY)
8.5/10
A beautiful and engaging drama that offers a unique presentation of individual characters from their interpretations and perspectives of an initial affair between 2 of the story’s central protagonists. Far from being simple, the narrative extends to offer the individual stories of other, interlinked characters through their own eyes. At its best it is emotionally moving and stunningly shot giving us deep and sometimes conflicted insights into the motives of each character. The multiple series are not just about ‘the affair’, although it does continue to examine the fallout from this initial act; instead they follow a murder, family relocation, illness and bereavement as a backdrop to illustrate the impact each persons actions have on one another. Not always consistent series to series but never fails to be engaging; series 1 and 4 are particular favourites of mine.
