The Ashley Madison Affair (Complete Docuseries)
Available:July 7
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more controversial and maligned website than that of Ashley Madison. Launching in 2001, the Canadian-based website was intended as a haven for those already in a relationship looking to have an affair. The number of marriages and relationships that were destroyed due to the website making the concept of infidelity easier than ever is insurmountable, but the site’s anonymity would eventually be put into question. In July 2015, the contentious website became the victim of a historic leak, releasing the data and personal information of both the company and its users to the masses. The upcoming Hulu docuseries,The Ashley Madison Affair, will shine a light on how this leak happened and how the impact has endured in the years that followed.
The complete first season ofThe Ashley Madison Affairpremieres on Hulu on Friday, July 7.
