I just finished the first season and I am hooked.
-
It's pretty decent and likeable and has some unique quality. At times there are skippable parts, but it seems to keep on going.
-
One of the most criminally underated ongoing series. The first season starts off with a little weak outside some really strong performances, but every season after is on par with The Sopranos and The Wire. THIS IS A MUST WATCH SERIES.

This show is so good. The writing is amazing and so are the actors. Damson idris plays Franklin Saint he draws you in as if your watching play out in real life.

This is a really good show good writing.

A very solid debut year for Snowfall, that doesn't necessarily differentiate itself from other period-set crime dramas, but delivers a steady stream of consistent quality. Looking at the genesis of the crack epidemic in the impoverished neighborhoods of Los Angelas, Snowfall's strongest card is its authenticity towards the era, and also in how it layers its story to show all factors involved with the drug's upsurge. It's ensemble casts and branching storylines definitely invite comparisons to The Wire, and while it might not be as seamless as David Simon's masterpiece, it juggles its plot threads well, and perhaps most commendably the series addresses the government's involvement with drug trafficking and doesn't pull its punches! Smart casting choices, brutal violence, and strong writing make Snowfall a series well worth the investment, especially for crime-fiction fans, and it certainly has even greater potential for future years.

John Singleton's best since Boyz n The Hood, might be better. Great acting (Teddy and the CIA just take it to a whole nother level), insane story based on alleged real events about the CIA's covert funding of rebel groups to fight leftists in South America, through the sale of cocaine to burgeoning gangs in Compton. Which some believe started the crack epidemic and escalated the gang wars in LA... amazing production, A+++!!
-
The casting is lacking. The acting is mediocre almost comical at times... in a sad way. The characters are flat, single-faceted. And the storyline is cliche. Couldn't tolerate watching past season 1.
-
You have to pay attention. Moves a little slow but don't miss anything! Each episode in this season is imperative. It's the setup.
