'Claws,' the full-figured, working-class answer to 'Big Little Lies'
Five women, multiple secrets, murder and more than a few big little lies.
Female co-conspirators and their tangled web of crime, deceit, bad men and big mansions have captured the zeitgeist of Sunday night TV post-"Game of Thrones." The series finale of "Big Little Lies" on Sunday means the end of one fraught story, at least for now, but the action is hardly over, thanks to another very different group of ladies and their roller-coaster narrative.
The cable drama "Claws," TNT's full-bodied, multiracial, working-class answer to HBO's affluent, low-carb drama, is midway through its third season. Although the hourlong comedy-drama still hasn't cracked the cultural conversation or become part of the peak TV buzz like some cable series starring Hollywood's A-list, it should - it's the perfect show for our time.
