HA! says
This show is just full of dead-on, over-the-top, stereotypes. I’m amazed it’s been renewed. I watch 2-1/2 episodes then had to ask myself why??? 40 minutes of stereotypical characters doing nothing really that interesting.. then 2 minutes of cliffhanger at the end. WANTS so hard to be “Breaking Bad” but is not even in the same universe let alone ballpark.

I love Claws. It’s crazy but in MO we’ve got Hillbilly Mafia.
