Our Favourite Show Is Back
If you haven't seen The Affair starring Dominic West, Ruth Wilson and Joshua Jackson, you need to get on it. Season 3 of the award winning drama starts later this month on November 21st - that gives you two full weeks to lose yourself in the first two seasons.
We are hooked on the compelling show that explores the emotional effects of an affair between Noah Solloway and Alison Lockhart, when they meet in Montauk, Long Island. Noah is a New York City schoolteacher who has four kids and is struggling to write his second book. Alison is a young waitress trying to piece her life and marriage back together in the wake of her child's sudden death. The story of the affair is depicted from both Noah's and Alison's perspectives and let's just say, things get pretty crazy.
The show won the Golden Globe for Best Drama TV Series last year, beating the likes of Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. Yes, somebody actually beat Game of Thrones. And if that's not enough to convince you to head straight to Sky Box Sets to watch it immediately, we're going to give you 6 more reasons why you need to get on it, like ASAP.
1. Noah Solloway
This man needs to be seen to be believed. If you love a cheesy chat up line and a good face palm moment, Noah is your guy. This is why we watch him and can't get enough; he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants. Vulture.com even described him as 'a narcissist borderline sociopath whose midlife crisis is more like an atomic bomb that toxically curses anyone who ever made the mistake of being charmed by his harmlessness.' Bang on.
2. The Quality
The show is made by Showtime, who are also behind brilliant shows Homeland, Ray Donovan and Californication, to name but a few. It's also co-created by Sarah Treem, who also wrote for House of Cards. With credentials like that, it's a no brainer.
3. Joshua Jackson
Pacey from Dawson's Creek is finally back on our screens and quite frankly it's been 10 years too long. Joshua plays Cole Lockhart, Alison's loving husband who runs a ranch in Montauk. With Alison determined to shut him out after the death of their child, Cole will stop at nothing to mend her broken heart. He is sexy and caring and everything we've been waiting for.
4. Two Full Seasons Ready To Watch
The countdown to Christmas is on - meaning we can'not afford to go out this month and need a good excuse to stay in. The Affair season 1 and 2 is now available on Sky Box Sets. That's 22 brilliant episodes just waiting for you. Lose yourself in The Affair and you'll be turning down offers to go out. Promise.
5. Drool Over Their Lifestyle
The clothes, the parties and the lobster rolls. Set in the summer on the east coast of America, watch in envy at how the other half live. As the temperatures drop in Ireland and the rain batters your windows, you can snuggle up and dream of better things.
6. It's Coming Back
It's SO good it's coming back for a third season at the end of the month.
And if you're out and about you can use Sky Go, where you can get your fix on your mobile or tablet, wherever you may find yourself.
With over 350 box sets to choose from, many of which are exclusive and unavailable elsewhere, not to mention their 65 channels, the prospect of a duvet day has never been more attractive. Bring it on.
