The Green Guide, The Age’s guide to all things television, has awarded The Slap the top TV show of 2011.
The guide said that The Slap had elevated Australian television drama to another level. The eight part mini-series, based on Christos Tsiolkas’s novel of the same name, was ranked amongst the highest rating shows of 2011.
In the review of the show, The Age wrote “it had the courage to tell a story visually; to avoid easy exposition. In this welcome instance silence, and sustained close-ups, spoke volumes.”
