    It is not just the fact that the actual premise is interesting yet a tad silly, the important matter is that this single slap saved our main character from collapsing his own life over. Despite, I think they make up a big fuss over nothing; the kid was annoying and deserved it. So now just wait for the cliches to overflow and spoil this series.

    NBC's new miniseries The Slap is a heavy-handed, button-pushing, endlessly irritating drama about a family that slowly unravels after a man slaps another's obnoxious child at a family party.

    There is enough going on in The Slap without the addition of the narration, which is reminiscent of the voice over on Pushing Daisies and sounds like it's describing a comedy. Get rid of that smug, knowing narrator, The Slap can speak for itself.

    It's not fully good by any means, but I will watch more episodes, and I'm interested how everything will get resolved. I'm more curious about the characters of The Slap than I am about the characters of, say, The Affair.
