While “The Drop” doesn’t craft its protagonists into figures as compelling as Dr. Dre, Ice Cube or Snoop Dogg, the world they navigate is instilled with a vivid sense of place. Go to Full Review

Tony J @Is33ntIt 2 days ago Went in skeptical at start given how good Snowfall was, but momentum carried just in a new era and the hip-hop/rap shift is very entertaining. Watch it- much better than most other spin offs. See more tiona S @RT19923642 Sep 16, 2026 Can y’all get some of the Lead actors that’s actually from LA ! This corny animated Walt Disney bullshit. I don’t even have to Google these actors I can just tell they’re not from LA. Wanda is trying hard.The cast tries too hard to mimic the LA accent. Los Angeles audience cannot relate . Stop hyping us up to watch . See more Riana T @RT72862419 Sep 15, 2026 Only one episode in and i’m hooked! See more Hasha J @RT64683302 Sep 15, 2026 The Drop ! Literally has be wanting to watch more. So bummed I couldn’t just binge this story. Watching Wanda completely flips scripts and showing the real life struggles of navigating the affects of people perceptions of others past was so real to watch. Leon of course is an amazing actor and I can’t wait to watch his story line unfold wish I say him more for the story and his looks lol. I really loved the new picks for the new characters. Buddy man so captivating to watch him express along with Lamar. The story lines of everyone is an experience in its self. A great watch I can’t wait to see more . See more MABW P @GBean Sep 15, 2026 THE DROP sets the tone for Los Angeles! Very 1990s nostalgic. Superb acting. Every department executed. I feel dropped right back into the time period. Love this show! See more Allison P @priatelavender Sep 10, 2026 I was honestly surprised by how much I liked this. It doesn't just feel like a cheap Snowfall spin-off - the music industry setting gives it its own identity, and the characters are what kept me watching. See more Read all reviews
