	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Based on two episodes, it’s premature to give the show an unqualified endorsement. But it does represent the kind of drama that should appeal to a sophisticated palate if the ongoing quality justifies first impressions."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"A sophisticated, suspenseful comedy of ill manners that seems much more like a Showtime or Netflix drama than a broadcast network offering."	POS
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"'The Slap' just misses being as sharp in the execution as it is in the concept. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU

United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Annoying kid, annoying people, forced situations that annoy you — you'll want to slap everybody involved in this miniseries. Was that the point?"	NEG
