Claws

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.

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.

As someone whose favorite shows are X-FIles and The Sopranos, I wrote this show off from the moment I saw the previews. And wow do I apologize to the writers and the actors of this excellent, engaging tv show. Little did I know this gem of a show had a ton in common with my two favorite shows, strong female lead, lots of crime, and genuine comedic moments thru characters that have excellent development.

This show is one of a kind, dramatic, hilarious and heart-warming. The story line is completely unique and offers so much variety to viewers. The character development is excellent and really makes you as a viewer fall inlove with these unique characters. It's so binge worthy, and in the current season it brings me back every week.

I love these women! You did it right this time TNT, hope this shows has a long life with many seasons to come.

I absolutely loved this show! Right from the start it had me. From the genuinely interesting and eclectic mix of main characters to the plot twists. Its great to watch a show where females are given less predictable story lines. I wouldn't categorize it as a comedy, it seems to be more of a thriller drama based show. I cant wait to see what happens next...

Mrs. Shullivan and I have not missed a single episode of this sleeper series and I must say...we just love the many great surprises this newest campy kind of television series that has brought much joy each week to our household. If anyone does not appreciate camp/dramedy/crime and a bit of risky language and sexy innuendo then just stick to your hospital themed life threatening weekly series or the many predictable Law and Order spin offs.

This series has an over abundance of great character regulars. My favorite character though is the recently released from prison Polly, played exquisitely by Carrie Preston. She brings an unrelenting POP to the show Claws with her quirky but menacing weekly performance that just shouts out loud and proud "I can be very nice to you, but if you screw with any of my lady friends there will be hell to pay!"

The story lines are so varied and they hold our full attention. We just love each episode and how all the ladies who work in the CLAWS salon interact and deliver their unique characters. Of course each lady has at least one man sharing in their lives, and/or in the case of the butchy Quiet Ann character played by former Devious Maids actress Judy Reyes, she has an endless stream of lovers of the female persuasion.

I have no other television series to compare Claws to, as this series is uniquely creative in a category all to themselves, it is so unique, and simply just a breath of comedic fresh air. I hope this dark horse camp/dramedy/crime series wins at least 4 Emmy's during the awards season as not only are the female lead characters terrific the supporting male actors also add a lot of character depth and diversity such as Roller Husser (Jack Kesy), Bryce Husser (Kevin Rankin), Uncle Daddy (Dean Norris) and I simply cannot forget the over the top mentally challenged performance of Dean Simms (Harold Perrineau). If Harold Perrineau does not win a best supporting actor award(s) it would be a crime.

I hope Claws receives sufficient support for a second season as I am dying to see what direction the series transforms to next year. Mrs. Shullivan and I give Claws a favorable 8 out of 10 rating.
