"For five seasons, The Affair gave me food for thought on topics I would perhaps have not thought too much about, given how painfully hard they are to resolve in real life. The message of the finale is that you can’t resolve them, not really — you can resolve only to accept them and move on."

"Honestly, in this almost-feature-length final episode, there are a ton of valuable life lessons... I fervently wish that The Affair’s last season hadn’t wasted so much time on Sasha Mann and the like, but a finale this good helps wash a lot of that away. And it says a lot for the show that all the actors, particularly the main four of the first four seasons, were never anything less than riveting to witness."
