Season 1 Review:
Welch has a lot on her mind but not all of it coheres. The show is strongest when it’s less focused on Stiviano’s grasping desire for fame or recreating her awkward interview with Barbara Walters (in which she clunkily described herself as Sterling’s “right hand arm man”) and more interested in longstanding issues of racism in the NBA and the tense debates Sterling’s bigotry provoked for Rivers and the players.

Season 1 Review:
A gaudy and campy docudrama sung in the key of Ryan Murphy (though Murphy isn’t involved in this production), Clipped bites off far more than it can chew. It’s part underdog sports drama, part overheated soap opera and part overly broad cultural satire… none of which are entirely successful.

Season 1 Review:
Fishburne is easily the most charismatic and empathetic of the leads, and he becomes a de facto supporting character once Sterling’s racism becomes (more) public. There’s a lot of lip service paid to how these stresses affect the Clippers and their first serious run at a championship in ages, but that material never really deepens until Rivers becomes more prominent in the final episode again.

Season 1 Review:
Despite some good performances, particularly by Laurence Fishburne as Doc Rivers, and some isolated scenes, it doesn’t offer up nearly enough that’s new to merit the dramatization. .... The storytelling itself is mostly lacking. It’s six largely by-the-numbers hours.
