The Affair season 5, anyone watching?

[Frazzled74]

I can’t find a thread but please redirect me if there is one already. Looking forward to Helen’s story , but will be missing Vic.

It was good but a bit confusing in the middle. Who is Madeleine?

She was Joanies adopted daughter. I think that story is just to fill us in on Cole and Alison in their absence and add that 3rd dimension. I enjoyed it but I agree a bit confusing.

So the future scenes are of Joanie grown up in another time? It did look futuristic.

Yes it's Joanie grown up with her own family.

I am missing Alison and Cole already!

Glad there’s a thread! Enjoyed this.

Maura Tierney excellent in this episode.

Noah being decent for a change, although not to his girlfriend.

Great property porn.

V sad not to have Alison and Cole in it.

Am not on board with the adult Joanie thing, not least because Joanie was dark and Anna Paquin doesn’t look right and is too familiar from True Blood!

Yes I thought Noah and Helens scenes were great. I thought Joanie seemed damaged, like Alison.

Absolutely loved it from start to finish.Beautifully acted,and fabulous scenery. Helen was fantastic as always.Will so miss Vic and the other older faces.It's completely different to the first series but still grabbed my interest.I didn't enjoy the Joanie scenes but liked her husband .

Wonder what has happened to Cole.

The Joanie bit was weird! Will be difficult to make that work!

Loved Vic :(

Was worried Noah would try it on with Helen so thankfully that didn’t happen!

I absolutely loved the first one of season 5.
Can’t wait to watch the next one. Maura was incredible to watch.

Thank God for Telly Addicts,there's no way I would've worked out who Joanie was!!

Wow - ep one was a good’un! Gutted to find Sky haven’t released the full box set as I immediately went to watch ep 2 to find it wasn’t there.

So much happened in this episode. I actually never really liked Vic, can’t put my finger on why. Didn’t he go a bit rogue in season 3 or 4? And what’s the story with the baby - I did watch season 4 and remembered he went off with the neighbour but why did everyone make peace with it? Just because he was dying was he seen as a saint?

I liked the semi-futuristic look into Joni’s life.

It’s not quite the same without Alison though.

I never liked Vic!

Noah will be cracking onto Helen soon, for sure.

I dying to watch the second episode.

Tonight 9pm! Can’t wait

Loved it, but not the last part with Joanie and Montauk! Clever but I can’t help feeling it’s just a bit too much.A bit too post apocalyptic?

I thought the future bits were a bit too far fetched. How old is grown up Joanie? I'm guessing no older than mid forties, possibly even mid thirties. It felt like the future world was too futuristic for twenty or thirty years time.

My DH was really confused by the Joanie part. Montuak looked trashed. I think Helen is amazing in this season so far.

Nope sorry didn't enjoy episode 2 apart from the wonderful Maura.
The naff acting by the students was amusing
So miss Vic
