A lot of people thought the best part of The Affair last season was the time spent on the jilted spouses Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson, neither of whom ever got a POV episode, so now it looks like showrunner Sarah Treem listened to that and will give their perspectives this year. I also though Tierney and Jackson were both great in their parts (better than leads Dominic West and Ruth Wilson even), but it didn't surprise me, because they've both always been solid and very natural actors on their past shows. I didn't actually think it was necessary to see things from their point of view though, since really, the affair that's the main part of the show doesn't involve them at all. But I think people must really identify strongly with the jilted parties in stories about affairs, for so many to want them to be focused on, when they're not really the center of anything. I guess that will give each character two episodes each for the season, which premieres in the fall.
