Clipped

Ed O'Neil and Laurence Fishburne are great. The actors who play the basketball players are also good and do a good job passing who they are portraying. I'm sure it was very difficult to find a match to play Blake. Very interesting to see what things were supposedly like behind close doors for the clippers organization. Does explain why they had such a hard time finding success and keeping good players. I watched the first two episodes back to back and could have easily watched another 2. Unfortunately have to wait for the weekly release now to be able to see the new episodes. I have enjoyed it so far.

2 episodes in and this a fun and yet a perfect representation of what the world is today.

I won't spoil the show for you but if you like glitz glamour, gossip, sports, social media and people who at times lack self awareness with rich people problems & getting old struggles/staying young, relationships then this show is good escapism for you.

So far, So Good! The casting is very well done and it may get dark soon seeing where it's heading. Manipulation at its finest.

Also bear in mind this is based on a true story, of course recreated for dramatic effect....but stuff like this happens especially with this insta Age.

Enjoy!!

It false advertisement its about a thresome and I don't care about that, the lakers show its better than this because that show is about the game baby, its about basqueball, this is about two jealous woman and we as guys don't care about any of that, we are not interested in feeling and love or jealousy, we only care about the balls and the teams and the players, and this series fails to do that, the clippers are definitely the worst team of the wonderful Los Angeles city, and maybe they deserve this bad show, im glad it's a ver tbh, its not worth the trouble my guys just watch winning time instead.

I may be biased because I was in college for the Sterling scandal and not yet born for the showtime lakers but clipped is honestly better than season 2 of winning time.

Outside of Kirkland brand Steph Curry and yes, Blake Griffin's head being too small, the casting was excellent. I guess more nitpicky complaints would be that Silver looks a little too old and Modern family guy doesn't quite capture the loathsomeness of Donald Sterling, but otherwise this is a pretty faithful retelling of that iconic media circus.

Sad that Lob City will ultimately be remembered like the Moneyball A's, a lasting legacy but never the championship they deserved.

But if you don't, you're going to be bored/lost. It was clearly trying to be like The people vs OJ - American Crime Story, but it didn't quite nail it. Also, everyone knows the OJ story - not everyone knows the Sterling one. This could have benefited from greater direction/editing, however the acting and production value is spot on.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend listening to the Sterling podcast on 30/30. It's almost a required companion piece to the fx show and will make the entire thing more compelling and entertaining.

If nothing else, Lawrence Fishburne, Ed O'Neill, Cleopatra Coleman and Jacki Weaver and a delight to watch.
