TNT’s Claws: 5 Facts About the TV Show

1. Nothing about the show is mellow

One of the key facts every fan of the TNT dramedy is sure to know is that in a rough economy, the five heroines of the series take the path of crime towards financial prosperity, however, they found themselves walking into a male-dominated world of crime as a result.

While they were there, they must outwit, outsmart and work their way up to build and control their own crime empire. For this, they must be tough, act street and play the game as ruthlessly as it demands. There are bold displays of violence, drugs, skin, and language and though a comedy with some color and vibrancy from the nail salon, there are scenes that are anything but endearing.

For anyone adverse to these sort of brazen scenes, this acts as a fair warning, otherwise, the nearly overriding theme of ‘wackiness, sleaziness, and flagrancy’ may just have helped it thus far.

2. It has an exciting cast ensemble

Sometimes the cast of a show helps make it what it is. If “Claws” is a must-see, its cast could be a big reason why.

The show stars from Scream Queens who plays Desna, the tough-talking, kind-hearted owner of Nail Artisans. plays Virginia Loc, a former stripper, and rebellious newcomer. Carrie Preston of The Good Wife is Polly Marks, former con artist and loyal to Desna. of Justified is Jennifer Husser, Desna’s longtime friend and right-hand woman, and from Devious Maids plays Annalise “Quiet Ann” Zayas, Nail Artisan’s doorman and Desna’s enforcer.

Also in the cast are from The Strain who plays Dwayne “Roller” Husser Desna’s boyfriend and drug dealer, and Dean Norris of Breaking Bad and Girlboss who plays Clay “Uncle Daddy” Husser, the ruthless head of the Husser crime family.

Other cast members include Kevin Rankin, Jason Antoon,, Jimmy Jean-Louis, and Suleka Matthew.
