The Slap

The Slap created quite the stir when it was broadcast on ABC late 2011. Dinner party conversations were dominated by the ‘who's side are you on' debate and which character was in the right (or more so the wrong) was a hot watercooler topic everywhere. The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age gave it 4.5 stars and said "There's no doubting the quality of this production". The Australian reported that The Slap is "one of the most remarkable pieces of drama made for Australian TV". The hit show also topped the Sun Herald's Best Local Drama of 2011 list and ranked top show of 2011 in The Age's Green Guide. Eight AACTA (formerly AFI) Award nominations later, The Slap can now be yours to own on DVD. Let the debate begin, again!
