I do not watch any TV. Is the show any good? And as far as the.subtitle goes, affairs are not equal and can save, maintain, not destroy, as well as destroy.

Relative to straight entertainment value… There are better shows. This one can feel a little slow, a little stiff and contrived. I also am not yet really drawn in by either of the lead male characters. They are both so out of touch with their emotions and their authentic selves, and they rarely show real appreciation, desire, or excitement for or about anything. They both are ego driven consumers of everything around them, playing to control expected outcomes.

Yet, it has my interest, and I will add it seems to get better each week. There are brief moments of smart dialog, real life tension, and I find the conversation relevant. I often find myself thinking about it later, and sometimes see something I can take for myself from it because of being able to think about it in this external framework (it’s easier to see something in someone and ask if it applies to yourself, than just see it in yourself, we all have blind spots). I think it is doing a pretty good job of revealing the way we find ourselves living good lives that do not necessarily represent who we are, or what we really want… The challenge of realizing that, the challenge if getting anyone to understand that, the internal and external conflicts inherent in deciding to address that.

I would be very curious to hear impressions from anyone who does watch it. It is now three episodes in.

Luis did you I tend for those two statements to be contradictory?

We vary a bit on this one Luis, I think it’s not as straightforward as that for everyone… For example, I would say affairs saved my marriage. And I would describe my objective in many of my relationships closer to this (which I don’t think requires monogamy):
