FX’s miniseries about Donald Sterling’s scandalous tenure owning the Los Angeles Clippers should intrigue even non-sports fans.
ThisClippedreview contains no spoilers.
He also appeared to regard his majority-Black players like property and took advantage of his wife like a pet.
These two characters form the entertaining backbone ofClipped, and this is where the action begins in episode one.
Played to perfection by Ed ONeill, Sterling is perverted, vile, and ironically hilarious.
Leveraging his days onMarried… with Children, ONeill never misses a beat playing Sterling.
His Emmy-worthy performance proves that some of Hollywoods best talent remains our cherished childhood sitcom actors.
Sterlings girlfriend, V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman), gets plenty to do as well.
Clippedalso gives plenty of screentime to the legendary Laurence Fishburne as Clippers coach Doc Rivers.
The pressure to win a championship against the backdrop of Sterlings immorality wont really connect with non-basketball fans.
This question hangs over the show far too often.
The first two episodes of Clipped are available to stream on Hulu now.
New episodes premiere Tuesdays, culminating with the finale on July 2.
