"Snowfall" is a drama set against the infancy of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles and its ultimate radical impact on the culture as we know it. The story follows numerous characters on a violent collision course, including Franklin Saint, a young street entrepreneur on a quest for power; Gustavo "El Oso" Zapata, a Mexican wrestler caught up in a power struggle within a crime family; Teddy McDonald, a CIA operative running from a dark past who begins an off-book operation to fund the Nicaraguan Contras; and Lucia Villanueva, the self-possessed daughter of a Mexican crime lord. In "Snowfall," people are working toward their ultimate goals of money, power, and influence as 1984 begins in Los Angeles.

Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic 07/23/2018
In Season 2, Snowfall no longer has to validate its characters' ambitions quite so much, and the show is more persuasive for it. Go to Full Review Kyle Fowle AV Club 07/20/2018

Exploring the price of success is one of the few threads in "Sightlines" that suggests season two can expand its story in a meaningful way. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 07/20/2018
B
Credit is shared between performer and creator. Andron, Amadio, and Singleton know what they're doing with Tucker, and their attention to what was missing in Season 1 makes the new episodes a marked improvement, if not a game-changing one. Go to Full Review Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice 08/26/2018
With the pieces falling into place, season two promises to be as good as the first, delivering a speedball of high octane television. Go to Full Review Kayla Cobb Decider 07/19/2018
The first season of Snowfall was practically defined by the wilting aimlessness that drew each of the show's four main characters to the crack industry. But the snappier Season 2 is defined by ambition. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Young J @RT28039084 06/09/2025 This is what put it on the map in my opinion. See more Monique G @RT81264065 01/29/2025 Just a great show and I love that it’s situated in the crack epidemic period, Coz it was a time I was addicted to drugs and it showed me how lucky I was that I didn’t live in the US. Anyway, great storylines and want to watch the whole series, which is on Disney+ in my country, even though RT said it’s not available in the Netherlands, coz it is!! See more Foxy L @RT30092231 10/07/2024 What an amazing series! I am HOOKED! Do not miss this under-rated series, it just keeps on getting better and better.
