The Slap

It was on last night. Anyone watch it?

I did. It was a little slow, but I think anyone who watches it is going to have strong opinions about this show.

I know I do.

Okay guess not one watched it.

Moderator: You can delete this post now if you want to. No sense keeping it if no one has watched the show nor does anyone want to comment on it.

I never watched Breaking Bad so I didn't watch this show.

There are a lot of new shows coming on in March and April too.

Val is that the Australian one? We had it a while back but I didn't watch it - I heard about it though.

I loved Breaking Bad, downloaded it to watch over time but ended up watching it back to back.

Some parts are gruesome enough to have stayed with me but funnily enough I understood a word they said while fighting - escuchen (sp). I knew this word from one of Axl's rants to the crowd when he was spat on.

I watched the Slap and there's not one person on this show I like or even care about. They all have big problems and if this case goes to court all their dirty problems will all come out. I don't agree that the guy should have slapped that brat but if it were me I would have asked the parents to take care of their child. In this show, they didn't which led to another parent dealing with it. If I were in this position, and the brat was still swinging the bat at other kids, I would have told the parents to get their spoiled brat who at 5 is still being breast feed, and asked them to leave my house.

No one should hit a child either your own or someone's elses, but if the parents aren't doing their job, then they are the ones who should be punished for it.

This show seems to push a lot of buttons and because it seems everyone on this show is flawed it is very hard to route for anyone or even care about the adults or the kids.

rock4eva this show is about 30 and 40 something couples that are at a birthday party for the 40 year old guy. One of the kids, who's 5 years old, is totally out of control while his parents sit and drink.

The kid is throwing records around and bangs an I pad against a table and starts pulling out flowers in the garden.

the 40 year old guy brings out a bag with a baseball bat and ball. I don't know if he didn't realize the bag contained a wooden, but he took out the plastic ball and bat. While the other kids use the plastic bat, Hugo, takes out the wooden bat. After he gets 3 strikes and he's out he starts swinging the bat at the other kids.

His dad turns around the tells him to stop, which he doesn't and continues swinging the bat and almost hits another kid. This kid's dad goes down the steps and takes the bat from Hugo. He then takes him by the arms and tells him that when adults tell you something you do it. The kid is fighting him back and then kicks the man in his knee. That's when the man slaps this kid across his face. Of course, when this happens, then everyone who was ignoring this kid all damn day, all run down the stairs for this brat.

Anyway, this is show very annoying, but I really want to see how it ends.

I also would have told the parents to take their brat and get the hell out of my house, because I wouldn't have hit the kid, but when that kid kicked that man in the leg, I understood at that moment how he could have hit the kid. Also the two dads hate each other, so that didn't help the situation.

Not sure if this show was based on any other show like some BBC shows.

Honestly, I don't like any characters on this show either, but I'm hoping the kid loses control in the courtroom and show everyone how bad his parents are at raising him. The breast feeding a child of 5 is just so wrong.
