Showtime’s “The Affair” knows how to do scandal. The series, now on its second season, centers on the titular wreckage between two lovers, Noah and Alison (Dominic West and Ruth Wilson), and their respective spurned spouses, Helen and Cole (Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson). Josh Stamberg gives us eyes behind the scenes of the show, which shoots on location in Montauk, N.Y., while he plays the role of Max, a close family friend and Noah’s confidant.

Me with Becky, one of our incredible PAs.

Casa de Max and our killer crew doing what they do best.

On set with the one and only David Henry Hwang. I understand this house is on the market for $38 million. Anyone want to give me a loan?

The view from Max’s house in the Hamptons, which is not awful.

One of our great DPs, Steven Fierberg.
