Maybe the universe is testing you. Did you prep popcorn? Too bad. Now you’re stuck staring at a rerun of Coronation Street. But there’s a upside: absence makes the heart grow fonder. Your brain loves delayed gratification. It’s why cliffhangers work.
Here’s another fun fact: When The Affair was off-air in 2019, ITV aired a marathon of the first two seasons. Viewers who’d missed episodes suddenly became experts. They discovered that every character is unreliable. You can never trust their memory. That’s the show’s superpower.

What to Do Instead? Become a Detective
Tonight, you have options. Option one: rewatch an old episode. Look for hidden details. That yellow car in the background? It appears in every season. That’s a Easter egg—the showrunner’s wink to superfans.
Option two: stalk the ITV schedule online. Seriously. Networks often post changes only hours before. You’ll feel like a private investigator. “Aha! Football again!” It’s oddly satisfying.
Option three: start a rumor. Tweet at ITV. Use the hashtag #BringBackTheAffair. Go wild. Your outrage might fuel a two-parter next week. Or at least get a funny reply from their social media intern.
