Forty years of playing cranks on screen has given Ed O’Neill a particular understanding for Sterling’s quirks, gripes and foibles that few others in his field can claim. Laurence Fishburne serves up a reminder of his Olivier-like range, down to the raspy voice of Doc Rivers, the Black coach who bucks up to Sterling.

“Clipped” does indeed have those things going for it, as well as strong, anchoring performances from Laurence Fishburne as Coach Doc Rivers, Cleopatra Coleman as V. Stiviano, Ed O’Neill as Sterling and Jacki Weaver as Shelly Sterling. .... But it can also ring a little immature, and what the show gains in aerodynamics it loses in nuance and texture. “Clipped” loves repetition and avoids subtlety.
