    New and different

    It's like a comedy-drama that draws you in. It's Orange is the New Black meets Empire, meets Star, meets Breaking Bad, meets Power. Not for everyone, but I love it! Great acting and cast. Needs a bit more developing, but Empire did too in the first few episodes. The show definitely needs a chance. Claws could be a "sleeper" and I look forward to each new episode.

    This,that and a whole lotta other

    Near perfect,very adult crime drama. This pilot spent not one minute BSing it's way to a surprising conclusion to set up what looks like a very rough ride of woman power. Previews made this look sassy,but it is much more. This looks like a sophisticated crime thriller.

    Very well executed. Niece Nash (Scream)and Dean Noriis (Breaking Bad),along with Carrie Preston (True Blood) and others give difficult,really wonderful,believable performances with very adult material. I gave the pilot a 10.

    Claws is basically Orange is the New Black after parole

    The set up took about 3 episodes and then it launched. Dean was a bit annoying but he has developed into a far more interesting and believable character as an adult on the spectrum. 'The Girls' are all good with Dez the strongest but the real reason to watch is probably Roller a truly bizarre character, sort of Eminem if he did weights and steroids. Uncle Daddy is maybe the weakest character but this might be because I can't get the DEA character he played in Breaking Bad out of my mind. In my mind Uncle Daddy causes cognitive dissonance.

    Very watchable.

    The Dixie Mafia, a female "Sopranos"!

    "TNT" has a new wild far out brash and bold crime series that involves five ladies who are just trying to make their way with life in the sunshine state. Set in Florida, "Claws" involves the life of a female mafia clan who run a nail salon, yet underneath the money involves blood, bullets, and scandal along with the typical bribes, loan sharking and just old fashioned get away fun! And the series is spiced up and blended nice with scenes of sex and clever plots that are a cover up to make the viewer think as to what type of mystery is going on. The ladies are lead by Niecy Nash in one of her strong and most blunt performances ever. Overall entertaining good crime drama series to watch that has plenty of sugar and spice.

    Personal Opinion

    Rarely TV shows hold my attention, I get board with the plot and just shut the TV off. I started recording "Claws" because a few of my friends have worked on the production and I was just curious after hearing them talk about "Uncle Daddy" and the entire list of characters. I started watching the first episode only to binge watch the entire season to the current episode. I was hooked! I had to know what happened next and I have not done that since the days of Falcon Crest and Dallas when I was a kid! I HAD to tune in Sunday night when the current episode was to air because I just had to know what was going to happen. It is not a family friendly show by any means, it is directed to mature audiences. You will see T&A if you watch it so don't be shocked just hide your eyes. Again, I am hooked on the show! I think I need my nails done now too.
