    It's based on a really good book by Christos Tsiolkas. I wouldn't mind watching this.

    I watched it last night too and thought it was very good. Hard to pick a likeable character to root for though.

    Before I watched it all I knew was that it was about an adult slapping a child that wasn't theirs at a party. So the whole way through I thought it was building up to Hector being the slapper (so to speak). It kind of came out of left field for me when it turned out to be someone else.

    Interesting idea, I'll stick with it.

    Having read the book I wouldn't be too keen on watching this. There are almost no likeable characters whatsoever. Wonder if the colourful language will be similar on the tv adaptation :)

    Might give it a look but if it sticks closely to the book I probably won't stick with it.

    Just stumbled across it with a US remake (With lots of English accents for some reason!).
    It's on CH4 on demand
    Not bad

    Must get round to watching it, one of these days. Know it from the parodies.
