The Slap (2015)
8/10
Great study of far left versus far right personalities

Warning: Spoilers
I get that this is just a drama on USA, but it really strikes a chord with me. Spoilers ahead! The characters are fraught with flaws all- around, but what really resonated was the authoritarian Uncle and the hippie Mother. The interplay between the values-driven behaviors and perspectives is fascinating. It's the Left versus the Right in microcosm. Is it better to cooperate and be peaceful or to be competitive and to push boundaries? Which is better for the person, which is better for society. Fascinating.

I also enjoy the cinematography, the acting, and how the episodes are organized by the perspectives of each of the characters. It gives you insight into others perspectives. Their values. Why is one better or more right than the other?
