PhotoPerhaps you’ve been waiting for a mash-up of “Steel Magnolias” and “Breaking Bad.” TNT apparently thinks so, because it’s giving you one: “Claws,” a nail salon thriller that begins its 10-episode first season on Sunday. Sassy nail artisans dispense silk wraps while laundering money for a pill mill controlled by a gaudily bisexual gangster named Uncle Daddy. In one of the show’s casually over-the-top touches, Quiet Ann likes to stand watch outside the salon holding a baseball bat. Bad things happen, and in a wise choice by the producers, they happen before the end of the first episode. Propositions are blunt, sex acts are graphic and the discussion and depiction of toilet use are forthright.
