"Just as much as The Affair liked its fancy prestige TV ivory tower, it was also a bonkers, wild, sometimes implausible soap opera, and the finale—written and directed by Sarah Treem, the show’s co-creator—also had to convincingly end a show featuring a bunch of frequently infuriating characters with a history of doing utterly insane things," says Tim Teeman. "The series finale mostly did all this brilliantly (this hardcore fan laughed, cried, and cheered); and the things that fell short oddly echoed elements of the show that always fell short."
