Regardless of opinions, personal upbringings or outlook on life, the challenging part of keeping together a family is each member's level of tolerance and understanding. We've all had arguments with our own blood before — but what happens when the conflict goes from verbal to physical? Catch an all-new episode of "The Slap," air- ing Thursday, March 12, on NBC. While the title itself may paint a portrait of NBC trying something new, the show's plot and charac- ters are recycled content of various mediums. "The Slap" first made its on- screen debut in October 2011 as an eight-part Australian television drama series. Even further, that show is based on an award-win- ning novel by Australian author Christos Tsiolkas, titled — you guessed it — "The Slap," released in 2008. But back to NBC's version. The show's premise is simple enough. Various family members and close friends of all walks of life and different cultures come to- gether for the 40th birthday party of Hector (Peter Sarsgaard, "The Killing") at his humble abode in Brooklyn, New York. As guests be- gin to settle in, with the adults catching up with one another and the children playing a game of baseball amongst themselves, five- year-old Hugo (Dylan Schombing, "Pompeii," 2014) refuses to give up his spot with the baseball bat. He begins to swing the bat threat- eningly at other children, immedi- ately alerting the adults present. At this time, Harry (Zachary Quinto, "Heroes"), Hector's cousin, becomes irate with Hugo and de- mands that he stop swinging the bat and listen to the adults. Hugo disagrees and kicks Harry in the shin. In the blink of an eye, Harry raises his hand and strikes the child down with a powerful slap. Chaos ensues as Hugo's liberal and free- spirited parents, Rosie (Melissa George, "The Good Wife") and Gary (Thomas Sadoski, "The News- room"), rush to their child's aid in horror. The show's plot picks up im- mediate traction and sparks the question: should a child be hit, in order to be taught a lesson? That question alone is half the reason why "The Slap" resonates with so many people. In an age of awareness and extreme political correctness, we now have a zero- tolerance policy for hitting or Feature this week
