5 Things to Know About "The Affair" Season 35 of 6
Murder aside, "The Affair" is still a show about love
To Treem, the theme of her series – and the reason for the multiple points of view – is that love and its absence is in the eye of the beholder. "I think, on our show, trust is a really big part of what either keeps a marriage together or makes it fall apart," says Treem. “We sort of think of love as an ephemeral thing that exists if you believe that it does and does not exist if you stop believing. And I think what we deal with often is this idea of what happens in a relationship when one person stops believing and the other person is trying to hold it up for the two of them."
