So basically this entire show is based on Spock bitchslapping a kid for being a punk and all the drama that comes from it? They really basing a 20 episode series on this?

[chazzyphizzle]

but guys, it's a miniseries and it has alot of famous people in it, it worked amazingly with fargo and true detective, surely this will be a smash hit too???!?!?!?

did they seriously base a show off a dude backhanding a kid? man, my life would make millions

said by me, 14 seconds before that commercial ended, while on facespace

So this is the American remake of a Australian The Slap which was an adaptation of the 2008 novel by the same name.

When NBC announced plans for "The Slap," it sounded like a joke, or possibly a James Franco art installation. A miniseries revolving around a man who slaps someone else's child at a backyard barbecue? That's the whole thing? Even upon learning that it was based on an Australian miniseries, which was in turn adapted from a book, it was hard to imagine that this was an actual thing the NBC television network was trying in the year 2015. On-air promos for the miniseries (which debuts tomorrow night at 8) play more like "SNL" parodies than ads for a real show.

Well, I am here to tell you that "The Slap" is not a joke. It is humorless, pretentious, a waste of a number of good performances, and about as subtle as its title action, but it is also very real.

Saw the commercial while watching something the other night. Both the fiancee and I couldn't believe this was a real thing.

But even better...

Let's pick the tallest guy and the shortest guy we can get and pair them together to slap each other.
