The Affair (Seasons 1–5)

The Affair (2014) is a Showtime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Noah is a New York schoolteacher with a stable marriage and four kids. Alison is a young waitress in Montauk still hollowed out by grief. What begins as a summer fling quietly detonates four lives.

The show's signature move: the same scenes replay from Noah's perspective, then Alison's. The two accounts don't quite match. Details shift, motives change, who reached for whom first is never agreed upon. Dominic West and Ruth Wilson carry this unreliable-narrator structure without breaking it, while Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson flesh out the damaged spouses left behind. Over five seasons (2014–2019) the scope keeps widening — beyond the affair itself, into questions of guilt, memory and how people construct the stories that let them sleep at night.

The series took home the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series in its first year. Stream all seasons of The Affair online on iFILM.
