Is this the season, last though it is, when "The Affair," has, "Jumped The Shark?"


I believe it is. Shame,I do enjoy this show very much.


Sam Wanamaker: Now, Rick, about your hair.
Rick Dalton: What about my hair?
Sam Wanamaker: I want to go with a different hairstyle.
Rick Dalton: Oh, what?
Sam Wanamaker: Something more hippie-ish.
Rick Dalton: Well, you want me to look like a hippie?
Sam Wanamaker: Well, think less hippie, more Hell’s Angel!

Let me know what you think. Enjoy.

I am sorry for the slow reply. One might say glacial reply. Life has had busier than usual lately. I did go back and watch the episodes you mentioned. And yeah, that is the beginning of the shark jumping. It has been one of the better series.

Nah I think the season with Noah in Jail is the worst season and the most misplaced season. it never even gets mentioned again it was like it never existed.

reply

I disagree. Noah was taking the fall for both the loves of his life. Brendan Frasier's acting was extraordinary.
Also the incarcerated episodes showed Noah's grasp on reality slipping
But, we can agree that the show has run its course. I did enjoy the Rashomon type story telling.


Alison Bailey: I had an affair. I wouldn’t recommend it. It didn’t turn out well.
