Avis à la une
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!
So far I'm halfway through the series with the last two episodes pending to appear in the future. What I can say so far is that while the production values are high, the underlying true story is poorly told.
Sterling's egomaniacal failure as a franchise owner would have made for a compelling story. But so far it's shaping up to be a banal referendum on his moral character and his tattletale sugar-baby lady of the night being positioned as an anti-hero by being spiteful.
I hope I'm wrong but I'm afraid that this Hulu special will be of the Netflix ilk of progressive grandstanding as if we haven't been beaten over the head with the social sensitivity agenda a million times over. It's lazy and I'm hoping that the concluding episodes of the series focuses on the personal story that us sports fans might have overlooked instead of another trite sermon about how people should be loving people or whatever.

But if you don't, you're going to be bored/lost. It was clearly trying to be like The people vs OJ - American Crime Story, but it didn't quite nail it. Also, everyone knows the OJ story - not everyone knows the Sterling one. This could have benefited from greater direction/editing, however the acting and production value is spot on.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend listening to the Sterling podcast on 30/30. It's almost a required companion piece to the fx show and will make the entire thing more compelling and entertaining.
If nothing else, Lawrence Fishburne, Ed O'Neill, Cleopatra Coleman and Jacki Weaver and a delight to watch.

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".
