Showtime has a gem in its hands in its new drama The Affair. It's the kind of show that's so good that it makes you think about making a deal with the devil (your cable company), so you can watch the whole season or, you know, tap into the dark magic of torrenting (if you are not a good supporter of television). It's a show that does some interesting things with storytelling, which we won't spoil. And it's a show that has a terrific cast, including Dominic West, Maura Tierney, Josh Jackson, and Ruth Wilson. In fact, we named it the best new show of the fall.
