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.

Being a sports fan and keeping up with pop culture and past times I really like series like these and with "Hulu's" limited series "Clipped" I gave it a shot. And wow talk about crying foul how many times can those involved foul out. The series in a blunt and brash fashion takes a look at the life of ex "L. A. Clippers" owner Donald Sterling(Ed O' Neill from "MWC") and how he was banned for life from the "NBA". The series hams it up and tries to be juicy and tabloid like style as each episode showcased leaked comments that Sterling made to his former mistress V. Stiviano. Also behind the scenes with Sterling is the strained relationship with his wife and business partner Shelly(Jacki Weaver). In a good supporting turn is veteran Laurence Fishburne as Clippers head coach Doc Rivers who deals with the power struggle from within the franchise while trying to coach the team to a championship. The issues are sensitive and tough yet this series is fearless with it as it is entertaining for any sports or "NBA" fan despite the fact that it's not the Lakers or "Winning Time".

I'm a big basketball guy, and I remember when the story came out. This show far surpasses what I thought it would be. It's very funny and LA weird/ridiculous without losing any of the gravity. In fact, Clipped found a way to humanize all of the characters... which, for me, made it resonate even more. The cast is brilliant - Ed O'Neil is incredible as Donald Sterling, Laurence Fishburne is Doc Rivers, love Cleopatra Coleman as V, Jackie Weaver is great, Kelly Aucoin is hilarious, and newcomer Yvonna Pearson lights up the screen as Deja. The writing & directing are also superb, and the edit is very fun. Cannot wait to watch the rest!

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.

Perhaps this real life portrayal mini series has cane out a little later than it should have. The events happened in 2014 and now over 10 years later, we are having this series showing further details. This is being said simply because the interest to this story isn't nearly as high or anticipated currently as it would have had this had been several years ago.

However as a show, it does provide a lot of things in which people who were following the story at the time, are already familiar. Mainly the basics. Most of the newer knowledge dealt with the character of V. Stiviano who is a primary character as it delves into her life further and her role to everything.

The acting from the leads are definitely worthy of watching. The subject matter is definitely serious and overall was engaging in watching and remembering its events. The finale episode was rather anticlimactic and ended somewhat abruptly. Slightly disappointing.

Best episode: Episode 3.

Worst episode: Episode 4.
