An American Affair is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The writing in An American Affair treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. Mutual friends Barbara and Genevieve are both sleeping with District Attorney Sam Brady. When they become aware of their bizzare love triangle, they plot against him. Corbin Bernsen and Jayne Heitmeyer lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 1997. An American Affair resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

An American Affair is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Corbin Bernsen anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.
