Review: The End Isn’t Necessarily Near for THE AFFAIR
The end has already come for Noah and Alison’s eight-week summer fling, but “The Affair” has only just begun.
Now that they’ve come clean to their respective spouses, the show must decide on a new hook. I’m just not sure the writers have any idea what that hook will be. Of course, there’s an obvious one – almost too obvious – by having Alison pregnant with Noah’s baby, just after Cole has said he wants to put Gabriel and the affair behind them and try to start a family again.
But up until now, the show has been keen on doing exactly what the audience wouldn’t expect. Is expecting the unexpected too much to expect from a show without a finite end point?
No one could have predicted that the titular tryst would be put on hold after six episodes, or that after seven, Helen and Cole would be in-the-know. As soon as the show’s renewal was made public knowledge, I was all but sure the interrogations that helped shape the early part of this season would drag into season two. I was wrong. [Read more…]
Recap: THE AFFAIR is Rocked By a Larger Scandal
Noah doesn’t want to think of Alison as his mistress, or as Oscar so delicately puts it, “some married yuppie’s summer slut.”
Alison doesn’t want to think of herself as a drug dealer, or a concubine. For her, Noah is more than just a fling. He’s a way out of a century’s old drug smuggling business operating behind closed doors at Blue Water Taxi Dispatch.
In episode six of “The Affair,” Noah and Alison’s relationship fizzled out, and the ongoing tension between Oscar and the Lockharts was finally explained by the brothers’ shady entrepreneurship. [Read more…]
THE AFFAIR Recap: Inn and Out
On “The Affair,” the interrogations have come to an end, but the mystery of who killed Scotty Lockhart is only just getting underway.
At the end of the summer, Cole’s younger brother will succumb to his tragic demise, and Detective Jeffries doesn’t believe in accidents. Oscar might seem like the obvious suspect, but Noah makes a case for himself, not only by asking Jeffries why an accident had already been ruled out, but by assuring the detective that he had never heard of The Inn, the very hotel on Block Island where he and Alison first consummated their relationship in episode four.

THE OFFICE Star Gets BENCHED: Oscar Nuñez Previews His New Gig on His Hilarious New USA Network Comedy
One show that has been receiving a lot of buzz recently is the HAPPY ENDINGS-esque new USA Network comedy BENCHED by comedy geniuses, Michaela Watkins and Damon Jones. The comedy follows Nina; a hotshot lawyer whose life slowly starts falling apart right after her boyfriend breaks up with her. She loses her job as an attorney and finds herself fighting minor cases as a public defender. The show features a lot of fresh faces and some funny favorites. Definitely think this pilot will be a hit and something a lot of people will enjoy the show is funny and quirky and has a lot of heart. Oscar Nuñez plays Carlos on the freshman comedy. I caught up with Nuñez about his time on THE OFFICE, what drew him to BENCHED, and what we can look forward to on tonight’s premiere.
You were on THE OFFICE for so many seasons. Is there a specific episode or season that stands out to you as one of your favorites?
It would probably have to be the one Greg Daniels wrote specifically for when Oscar came out of the closet, while Michael Scott (Steve Carell) dragged him out of the closest. That would be my favorite episode because I got to play with Steve Carell a lot.
Did you take anything from your time at THE OFFICE and apply it to BENCHED?
Just to have that under your belt, nine years of being on a show. You don’t get nervous; they can’t throw anything new at you because you’ve been through the whole thing.
What drew you to BENCHED?
My friend Damon Jones who is one of the creators said “Hey there might be a part for you here, we’d love for you to be in the pilot.” And I read it and I thought it was so funny. My wife read it and we thought this is very smart and very and very funny, of course we would expect nothing less from Michaela (Watkins) and Damon.
How is working with them? How is their writing style, is it something you’re used to?
I was used to it because they were groundlings and I was a groundling and Jim Cashman, one of the writers was a groundling. Michael McDonald came in and directed an episode, Jim Rash, Molly Shannon; a bunch of groundlings came and played with us. It was a lot of fun!
What can you tell us about your character on the show?
They are all public defenders that work in downtown Los Angeles and he wants to fight the good fight and help the people that can’t help themselves. They’re overworked and get paid so little, sometimes you get frustrated and you like the people and you work with and hate them at the same time.
Is there an episode this season that you’re really excited for people to see?
There is an episode where Jay (Harrison) and I are going out and having a boy’s night and that was a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun shooting some scenes outdoors in LA at nighttime; it was a lot of fun.
What can you tell us about the Pilot?
It starts off; she’s a high-powered attorney she’s got a cushy job and something happens where she loses her job and ends up with us in downtown LA. She goes from the ivory castle down to the trenches with us.
You can watch BENCHED tonight on USA Network at 10:30. (Comedy Network in Canada)
THE AFFAIR Recap: The Idealist and His Insider
In Montauk, the ocean is mean, and summer people like Noah Solloway have a fantasy of what life is like for citizens like Cole and Alison Lockhart. For Cole, Montauk is a little piece of Heaven under God, and recently, it has been exposed to “people who come out here [that] think they’re in East Hampton.”
In episode three of “The Affair,” Noah and Alison have yet to wake to the realities of their relationship, and its eventual significance for both the regulars and the ‘summer people’. [Read more…]
