"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.

There was a fair amount of attention for this American crime drama, which debuted in 2017 and was primarily set in Los Angeles during the crack epidemic of the early 1980s. But [Snowfall is] still worth a retrospective binge.

A creative, engaging and overall excellent television show, that made all of its viewers better, and hopefully policy makers paid attention.

“Snowfall,” which ended Wednesday night after a six-season run, was unflinching in how it showed the truth about being Black in America.

If Snowfall isn’t yet spinning out of control, it’s definitely agitating for chaos.

There is still much to come, but the way Snowfall's story has set the stage for its final act is as sharp as it has ever been.

8.2/10

The first two episodes of the final season suggest that these characters, no matter how much they fight against their circumstances, are trapped by powers and structures so much stronger than them. It's bleak and violent, and it's totally compelling TV.

I think they ended the series very well, all of the episodes in this season were quite dramatic and I was hooked after the season 5's ending. I hate the way Franklin ended up, but oh well, I guess that's the price he had to pay.
