TV Drama Series: The Slap (8 episodes)
Watched: October/November 2011
Synopsis: The Slap is an 8 part TV drama series, based on the novel by Christos Tsiolka of the same name. The story is told from the point of view of 8 different characters following the same event (the slap of a child) and the repercussions this event is having on a family and their friends.
Review: I am enjoying watching this series and I am keen to also read the novel. It is very interesting how an event can cause a series of interrelated issues snowballing and the effect this can have on relationships. The characters are all very self obssessed and flawed which makes the viewing very compelling. The story also raises some controversial topics, so aave a watch yourself and then we can discuss some of the elements. I am looking forward to watching the next episode tonight.
Jules rating: 4/5
