2 episodes in and this a fun and yet a perfect representation of what the world is today.

I won't spoil the show for you but if you like glitz glamour, gossip, sports, social media and people who at times lack self awareness with rich people problems & getting old struggles/staying young, relationships then this show is good escapism for you.

So far, So Good! The casting is very well done and it may get dark soon seeing where it's heading. Manipulation at its finest.

Also bear in mind this is based on a true story, of course recreated for dramatic effect....but stuff like this happens especially with this insta Age.

Enjoy!!

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.

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.

I know the story and this was a total fail as far as the delivery. Who thought that 'actor' (I'm being polite) that portrayed V was the best choice. Yikes.

Her voice is a snooze fest. I can't say anything nice about the script or these poor actors. This story is not unique nor are the real life characters. Whyyyy did I waste my time watching this. I didn't finish the 'series' due to how boring it was. Everything about this show fell flat. The pace, the lines, the cinematography all dull. Is this because they can't get good writers, actors or directors anymore?

If you're considering watching this bring a book.

Lame lame lame...did I mention lame show.
