The Affair premieres on Showtime with its first episode, “1.” The show explores the emotional impact of an extramarital affair through many different viewpoints. The framing device reminds very much of True Detective. What effect will the false suicide from the pilot have on the show, and can we tell so early where the series is going?

Alonso Duralde (TheWrap, Linoleum Knife Podcast) and William Bibbiani (Crave Online) discuss the series premiere of The Affair on Showtime.
