\"\"<\/a>Its season three for one of the most bizarre but very entertaining crime thrillers TNT has ever brought to the small screen. After season two falling in with the Russian mafia, and surviving a deadly marriage, the season closed with an assassination attempt on Desna\u2019s life. Virginia sadly suffered the bullet meant for her sister in law. \u201cClaws\u201d returns taking off immediately from the last scene from season two and it takes off like a rocket. It\u2019s the same lunacy as always for \u201cClaws\u201d with bizarre fantasy sequences, some genuinely darkly funny comedy, and a brand new pair of villains that might just be the undoing of Desna and her crew if she isn\u2019t careful.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now with Desna inheriting the casino, she\u2019s faced with a deadly eccentric couple named Mac and Mable. The elderly Native American man and his middle aged white wife with a penchant for gassing herself have a vicious hold of all of their affairs and are more than surprised when they find out Desna is unwilling to be bought out of her stake in the casino. Meanwhile, everyone is pretty much dealing with the fall out from season two. Uncle Daddy is sore about being humiliated, Polly is dealing with her psychotic problems, Jenn is confronted with the father of one of her daughters who is demanding time with her, and Quiet Anne is still conflicted over her torrid affair that almost got Desna jailed.<\/p>\n

Worse, Virginia is tasked with caring for the shop while Desna cares for the casino, and if that\u2019s not enough Desna is worried for her brother who is anxious to go out and murder the person or persons that sought to kill Desna and almost killed Virginia. The writing is sharp and weird as always and it\u2019s just how I love it. The series indulges in some surrealism that breaks the monotony without breaking a sweat. This includes (in the first two episodes) a weird sequence involving a detached eye, a hilarious escape scene, and the immensely odd introduction of the season\u2019s nemeses. And what would a season of \u201cClaws\u201d be without the traditional synchronized dance sequence?<\/p>\n

\u201cClaws\u201d is a series I was sure wouldn\u2019t go beyond season one, but I\u2019m happy to see it going right in to season three and doing it with as much originality and dark humor as possible.<\/p>\n
