Great characters with some very good acting except for rosie who was too one dimensional and emotionaĺly repetitive. She didn't do justice to the whole story line, so that took away from an otherwise great show with an interesting concept.

Although the sitcom is centered around the slap. REMEMBER there would not have been a slap if the had canceled the party like the husband wanted. l very interested on how the stories of everyone's life story will play out.

But a title of a superficial series devoid of depth and creativity. Definitely not worthy of publicity or viewership. More like "The CRAP"!
