The Slap is a chance, and a worthy one, too.

The best of The Slap feels like the jazz that Hector loves, riffing on themes instead of hitting them directly on the beat. It helps to have good to great performances all around.

A momentary lapse could lead to weeks of thought-provoking drama. The Slap echoes.

It’s well-acted while at times also being mis-directed in terms of storytelling and too many hit-over-the-head characterizations.

The Slap just misses being as sharp in the execution as it is in the concept.

The Slap has the ideas and the assembled talent to make a better, subtler character exploration, but it’s brought down by hamhanded characterization and an assemblage of bourgeois-Brooklyn types that it’s impossible (even for another bourgeois-Brooklyn type) to care about.

Newark Star-Ledger
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.

Really an entire season for that ? Too much money netflix? No wonder you need to increase the subscriptions if thats what you are capable of. An obnoxious child gets a slap , so what? At the worst it would become a charge for ONLY the one who slapped and thats that, and only the police surely not child services since it wasn't the parents. No one else would even bat an eye otherwise.
