"The Affair," a Showtime drama co-created and co-produced by Israeli Hagai Levi and American Sarah Treem, has won the Golden Globe for best TV drama series. The series tells the story of an extramarital affair between two married people, looking at the ripple effects of an affair between novelist Noah Solloway and waitress Alison Lockhart. It stars Dominic West and Ruth Wilson, who picked up the award for best actress in a drama series. "The Affair," which premiered in October 2014, beat out four longer-running, well-loved drama series: "Downton Abbey," "Game of Thrones," "The Good Wife" and "House of Cards." Levi and Treem previously collaborated on the American adaptation of Levi's acclaimed Israeli series "In Treatment," which ran on HBO from 2007 to 2010 and won several Emmy and Golden Globe awards. "In Treatment" was also adapted and produced in 16 other countries. "It does feel like a real whirlwind, and it does feel like we just got on the air," Treem said backstage at the awards show. A second, 10-episode season of the show is scheduled to begin in 2015.
