S04.E01: Chapter One: Betrayal/S04.E02: Chapter Two: Vengeance

Quote

With the casino gone, Desna is prepared to return to her roots as a money-laundering nail mogul -- which proves to be more difficult than expected -- propelling her and the crew further into a world of criminality.

Quote

Desna's plan to sell Oxy to a higher-class clientele is quickly sabotaged by Uncle Daddy and Quiet Ann, escalating the drug war.

The new season starts 2021.12.19

Anticipation starts now!

Since it's been so long since the last season, it's probably going to take me a bit to get back in the mode.  Is Roller gone for good? If so, it's kind of surprising to have him out of the last season.

Shit has gotten serious - that argument between Desna and Anne was rough.  I don't get why Desna feels that she is untouchable.  It's hard to believe that Uncle Daddy would get up to the shenanigans at the country club and not just hire people to take out Desna and her crew.

That unexpected spider was extremely cringeworthy.  I had to look away.

Anne did a shitty thing by betraying Polly.  Can't believe that she thought they would just do yoga afterwards.

Well! My DVR didn't pick this episode up, so I'll have to watch a rerun.

I watched the first episode but bailed after that.  I used to like this show but I'm tired of Desna and her crew and I'm done.   Don't care if they all get flat blasted and they shouldn't get a pass because they're female crooks.

The Desna/Ann screaming matches were... a lot. Am I supposed to root for either of them after this?

 

What happened to Roller? Did they write him off last season and it's been so long I forgot or did they really get rid of him off screen for the final 10? What a waste for a character they loved so much they brought him back from the intended death in episode 1.

Claws is a black comedy, I don't think the characters are supposed to be rootable.  But they are funny and compelling.

Maybe the actor got a better offer?

[Crashcourse]

But it's in the "Drama" forum.  I hope somebody blows up the nail salon and they all die.  Now that would be a black comedy for me.  

ETA:  ...and a fitting ending.

I enjoyed these episodes.  I take the show at face value without giving major weight to the characters.  They are all deeply flawed with some positive characteristics. Everyone is OTT.  I find myself wondering if the delivery guy is actually some form of law enforcement as yet to be named.

I hope we see more of him.

I hope it happens in the last episode.

It been so long since this show was on and so much always goes on that it took me a bit to even remember what's happening and why exactly Desna and Anne are so pissed at each other. Neither of them have a ton of moral high ground at this point, they cant work with dangerous criminals and committ countless crimes and never expect to have to deal with consequences.

I'm not really here for a story that makes sense or characters who are super sympathetic, I'm here for ridiculous people getting into ridiculous hijinks, like Florida Man the TV show.

Also, while I know they're supposed to look unique and over the top, I think Desna and her crew look awful.
