I'm gonna watch it just for the fukkery of being the worst show name in the history of television
They're trying to act like it's a serious show and supposed to be a "conversation starter", then they give it that name. :pachaha:

Sounds like some goofball game show on ABC.

Lol at the greek Grandma sounding like every black parent.
"The brat deserved it"

Show is aight. kind of reminds me of the movie Little Children
But Little Children also had the town pedofile lurking at the swimming pool... Can't look at Jackie Haley (I think that's his last name) the same... Not even as the dirty hippy in Semi-Pro.

There are some bad reviews but I'm like :why:that there are also so many positive ones
http://www.metacritic.com/tv/the-slap-2015/critic-reviews

I mean, this episode was literally WOAT status:beli:


Here are some incredibly true bits of criticism I just quickly grabbed

But it's hard to breathe dramatic life into issues when they're pinned on characters who are both unlikable and unbelievable, mouthing dialogue that constantly hammers those issues home. It's as if every line in the script was written in capital letters — with the exception of the even more ludicrous narration, which was no doubt printed in florid italics.:pachaha:


uniformly absurd character types

the too-prominent, overly obvious voice-over narrator is a truly awful innovation.

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.:ehh:

Meant to provoke, it's about as subtle as a slap.... It's also a "Saturday Night Live" parody waiting to happen.:russ:

Maybe in an airy Broadway theater the issues the show attempts to explore would play better, but on TV The Slap suffocates, packed with too many awful characters I don't want to spend another moment watching.:francis:

endlessly irritating:bryan:

In Andy Greenwald's review (dope dude btw) he linked to a tweet that best describes this show:
