    Unorthodox quirky little drama about a seemingly absurdly small premise/conflict which turns out to be only so on the surface. Sharp writing and good acting make this worth it if still somewhat overblown in its argument. What I liked most about this short run show was its jazzy tone.

    This show is great and thought provoking. There should be more shows like this. I really hope it doesn't get cancelled. Please watch!! It delves into each character in separate episodes...very interesting!

    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.
