I loved Barbara's performance as a hardened woman made bitter by life choices, but I honest to God don't get why she'd want to have an affair with Earl, of all people. Earl sucked! He had zero redeeming qualities. I also loved the setting, a fishing town, as its one that I grew up in and know very well. It was so true to life as to what those towns are like.
