In many ways, TNT's Claws is the perfect summer TV fare. It is at times violent, at times and at times humorous. It is also sexy, it's trashy, and it's set in Florida.
Whether the combination of those elements works or not is a different matter. Set largely in a strip-mall nail salon, Claws is a pastiche of many television genres: the sitcom, the crime series, the soapy melodrama,... For my money, I'd say that it would work a lot better as a single-camera sitcom than it does in its actual form.
