What to expect from the Fx sports drama? Plot and trailer
The official synopsis of Clipped reads as follows:
"FX's Clipped takes you behind the scenes of a notorious NBA owner's racist remarks, captured on a tape heard around the world. Based on the hit ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs, this limited series charts the collision between a dysfunctional basketball organization and even less functional marriage, and the precipitating tape's impact on an ensemble of characters striving to win against the backdrop of the most cursed team in the league."
The series starts with coach Doc Rivers arriving to coach the LA Clippers in 2013. The team owner, Donald Sterling is notorious for his bullying personality and unruly conduct, and minimizing Sterling's influence to win a title becomes the main goal for Doc. On the other hand, a power struggle ensues between Sterling's ambitious personal assistant V. Stiviano, and his wife and business partner of 60 years, Shelly. The synopsis continues,
"FX's Clipped is an Obama-era story of racial reckoning delivered via meme, in which V. and the Sterlings discover who really has the power in the internet age, and which leaves Rivers and his players wondering if the expulsion of one bad apple brings about the transformative change the media wants to celebrate."
Created by Gina Welch, who also serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Zanne Devine, Ramona Shelburne, and Kevin Bray, the docuseries is a gripping tale of racism and politics in the arena of sports.
Catch Clipped on Hulu tomorrow.
