Despite this setting and these tropes and especially despite Nash and the rest of the good supporting cast, Claws doesn't work. The brush strokes are way too broad, the tone too slapdash.
The show loves glitz and glamour and gluttony maybe a little too much. But Florida is all about an overabundance of great and terrible things. And Claws nails it.
Perhaps because of its repetitiveness, I was easily distracted while watching-I actually wrote down is my notes "How does Desna text with those nails?" I'm sure that's not what the show wanted me to be focusing on.
