Sassy and fun.

The first two episodes of the new season highlight what makes Claws special, and at the same time, wonderfully unpretentious. Here's a show that makes the most of Nash, who is always great to watch.

The characters in Claws initially seem like clichés, including Desna, who is very much the familiar big-busted broad in high heels and hot pants. Before the first hour is over, though, we see them differently.

Like “Animal Kingdom,” it will never be confused with quality TV, nor will it take you somewhere you’ve never been before. But as a bit of flamboyant drama, where subtlety is a lot less important than the bright Florida hues and the ladies’ flashy costumes, it will do.

I want the Mad Men version of this show, not the Breaking Bad version. Claws gives you sharp, jagged women to care about. I wish I cared more about the show itself.

The parade of outlandish characters zipping in and out of their lives is distracting enough to confuse the atmosphere. As such, Claws isn’t fully realized as either a drama or a comedy, and its attempts at incorporating some version of the latter appears to be unintentional.

Claws works too hard to establish its outrageously raunchy, sordid edge. [12-25 Jun 2017, p.15]
