It wasn't amazing but I think I'll stay tuned for the rest of the series. I thought it was a little too obvious that we were supposed to hate the mother and son (Melissa George) from the get go. I didn't think there was a whole lot of depth at all. I do like that Uma Therman is in it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2067908 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 02:11:04 +0000 FannyMae 2067908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the only reason I didn't watch the australian version is because melissa george sh*ts me up the wall, and now she's in the US one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2067858 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:07:18 +0000 HLK208 2067858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched it! It was weird. The main character has like a sexual obsession with his kids young babysitter? And then has a birthday party, and some bratty kid almost hits other children with a bat and then some irate guy slaps him for misbehaving. Sooo I don't know where the show goes from here? I don't think I'll watch again though lol</p> <p>Gosh. If someone hit my child, I think I would press charges for assault? Or cut them out of my life entirely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2067853 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:02:51 +0000 katsupgirl 2067853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone watch it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2066111 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:04:23 +0000 plantains 2066111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be insane with anger, but I wouldn't sue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2066023 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:35:15 +0000 Mamasig 2066023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it looked interesting! I would be livid if someone slapped my child. </p> <p>However, I see how some people would get frustrated and slap a kid. Not that it's right or that they should. Unfortunately I have some family members who do not discipline their child and it is a pain to be around them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065802 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:07:20 +0000 autumnlove 2065802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks interesting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065791 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:00:13 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2065791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I set the DVR to record it because I thought it looked interesting. It's only 8 episodes long, but I think each episode focuses on a different character and their reaction to the slap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065790 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:00:11 +0000 Littlebit 2065790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's supposed to be a mini-series?</p> <p>I don't know if I'd sue - but I'd certainly cut a b*tch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065776 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:55:51 +0000 looch 2065776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched the original series as it aired in Australia and I also read the book....</p> <p>The guy that slaps the kid is not related to him. It's actually a great read/watch on the original version, there are a lot of twists and turns and each episode focuses on a character. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065769 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:53:08 +0000 mrsjyw 2065769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as blackbird, I'd cut them out of my life if it was a sign of more than an isolated incident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065762 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:50:23 +0000 yoursilverlining 2065762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, this trailer makes me laugh so hard every time I see it, because all I can think is: well, THAT escalated quickly! :silly: I know it's the course of drama over an entire season, but the trailer version gives me the giggles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065759 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:48:17 +0000 blackbird 2065759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If i had an issue with a relative hitting my kid, I'd be far more likely to just tell them off and cut them out of my life if I had concerns they would keep it up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065755 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:42:53 +0000 Mamaof2 2065755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: yes I also think he is relative. I imagine it would have been tense for awhile but to sue him seems excessive!</p> <p>Then again, its TV - needs to be beefed up! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065737 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:38:33 +0000 mediagirl 2065737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The guy who slapped the kid is a relative, right? I'd be mad but at the same time, I wouldn't sue him. He reached out in frustration. The kid was swinging a bat at a bunch of other kids, was out of control and then kicked him. While I wouldn't have slapped him, I could see where he was coming from. </p> <p>When I first saw this preview, I thought the guy who slapped the kid was a stranger but it looks like he's a cousin of the dad, maybe? Ugh. Reality of parenting today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065724 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:31:33 +0000 AprilFool 2065724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen the Aussie version and it was really good. It was only 8 episodes so not a full season. I wonder how different the US version will be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-slap#post-2065711 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:27:14 +0000 Mamaof2 2065711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone seen this preview for a new series?</p> <p>Not sure how a whole series is based on this one thing though.</p> <p>Totally took me by surprise and I would be livid if someone slapped my child however, it looks like maybe they sue him? </p> <p>Would you sue if someone slapped your child?</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui1YlTPlW_8#action=share" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui1YlTPlW_8#action=share</a> </p>
