"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.

Snowfall never fails to crackle with an intensity and intellect palpably lacking in most of the season's schedule at the moment.

A-

Snowfall might not be the kind of must-see TV that populated screens a few years ago, but it is absolutely one of the more confident, stylish, well-written shows on TV right now.

Even amidst the glisten of guns and the suave demeanor of its criminals, or the spy intrigue of the CIA schemers, it never loses sight of the human consequences.

The primary characters of Snowfall have achieved a novelistic richness that the best serialized television shows can pull off.

Snowfall Season 3 is certainly bloodier and more ambitious than this series has ever been, but between its face-offs and shootouts it's also subtler, deeper, and more tinged with regret.

Snowfall was not a true story, however it was entertaining to watch, and the 80's vibe was "dope" since I grew up in the 80's.
