‘Claws’: Niecy Nash Is A Star

The tone of the show is wobbly, and you may get the feeling you’ve seen some of this stuff before, but Claws—a new drama premiering Sunday night on TNT—is definitely loud and clear on one matter: Niecy Nash is a star. Nash, who came to prominence in the Comedy Central show Reno 911! and recently co-starred in Scream Queens, has always been a superb ensemble player, deft at reacting amusingly to her co-stars’ dumb behavior. Claws puts her front and center as the owner of a Florida nail salon.
