	Media	Author	Review
		Shannon Miller AV Club	"[4th Season Review]: 'Claws' works best (and is most engaging) when it sticks closely to the five women that defined this show’s appeal from the beginning"
		Angelica Jade Bastien Vulture	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] is the perfect summer show (...) 'Claws' understands and leans into the tactile nature of the season"
		Shannon Miller AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] continues to hit the jackpot in all its ridiculous splendor (...) An experience that is suspenseful, unorthodox, and relentlessly fun while testing its own boundaries"
		Saloni Gajjar Mashable	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] finds a way to rise above the absurdity of its own narrative (...) Carrie Preston is the highlight of 'Claws', giving everything (...) to Polly Marks"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: I still find it difficult to fully lose myself in its world, partly because its tonal shifts still feel more jarring than organic"
		Sonia Saraiya Variety	"Aesthetically, 'Claws' is magnificent (...) It stands out because it portrays a culture that most television uses only as a cipher (...) For its unique details alone, it’s thrilling."
		Jake Nevins The Guardian	"A sexy, offbeat addition to your TV queue (...) [It] does an admirable job exploring the lives of the disenfranchised in working-class Florida (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"Nothing about TNT’s 'Claws' is subtle (...) Perhaps the best thing about the show, aside from its excellent cast, is its insistence on revealing the humanity and nuance in flawed female characters"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"As talented and engaging as the performers are — particularly Ms. Nash and Ms. Preston — they can’t break out of sitcom artificiality (...) Every scene seems to be played with one eye on the audience."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Stuffed and stretched with quirk (...) The result tilts into showy, but bright and bold excess is what 'Claws' appears to be going for (...) Entertainment via excess certainly has its place"
		Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"A series that favors true situation comedy and stylistic flair above trashy girl and bling clichés (...) The drearily commonplace becomes a mecca of humor [and] drama"
		Verne Gay Newsday	"Good idea and better cast squandered on a slapdash premise, weak writing and South Florida cliches."
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"I immediately fell for these well-cast characters and their effortless, warm chemistry (...) My enthusiasm for 'Claws' began to subside halfway through the premiere as familiar tropes and premises take over."
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"A missed chance to make something beautiful out of Florida’s hot mess (...) Better in concept than execution (...) The show is too eager to imitate other cable crime dramas"
