Well, that happened.
The Affair Season 5 Episode 1 was a colossal waste of time.
Vik was one of the better characters ever to appear on The Affair, but his relationship with Helen wasn't one for the ages. She could barely commit to him, and once she did, he had already gotten Sierra pregnant and discovered he had cancer.
So utilizing so much space to say goodbye to Vik felt tedious.
A quick flashback to his dying breath upon meeting his son would have been moving enough without the incredibly long scenes that accomplished nothing.
Helen and Priya never got along. There's nothing new in the discovery Priya would go against everything he son wished for his afterlife or that she'd probably hold Helen accountable for it.

The Affair Season 5 Episode 1
“You know who had a choice? You.”
The Affair is a show that, at its core, I truly love. I love its concept. I love its cast. And I love how a simple micro-gesture can change the context of an entire story. As The Affair has gone on, it's perpetually lost focus and fallen more in love with extraneous mysteries, continually propping Noah up as an unwarranted hero, and knocking Alison down to the point that she's eventually murdered (although I do think the entirely of Alison's story is beautifully tragic and circular). In a perfect world, this show would have run a tight three seasons, but on a network that has a tendency...

Sony Pictures Classics' "Barney's Version" dramedy has two new posters up. The Richard J. Lewis film opens on January 14th next year and stars Paul Giamatti, Dustin Hoffman, Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, Rachelle Lefevre, Scott Speedman, Bruce Greenwood, Macha Grenon, Jake Hoffman and Anna Hopkins. Michael Konyves, a TV writer with credits like "Earthstorm" and "Descent," wrote the screenplay, based on the Mordecai Richler prize-winning comic novel. "Barney's Version" is the warm, wise, and witty story of Barney Panofsky (Paul Giamatti), a seemingly ordinary man who lives an extraordinary life. A candid confessional, told from Barney‘s point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, taking us through the different ?acts? of his unusual history. There is his first wife, Clara (Rachelle Lefevre), a flame-haired, flagrantly unfaithful free sprit with whom Barney briefly...
