Its funny how the S4 thread after ONE week is longer than this entire S1 thread years after it aired.
The TV ratings I'm seeing online for the pilot were 1.36 Million viewers, almost double the ratings for the latest S4 Episodes. But the amount of discussion seems much much higher. I bet the streaming numbers must be huge now.

I think here in the Film Room, some shows get a huge a following. Mr. Robot ratings were :flabbynsick: after Season 2, but the threads were still reaching over 400 pages per season.

Just check the Mr Robot threads. Looks like S1 thread was like 40 pages long, and the final season thread was like 75 pages long. So it grew...but not like this. This seems unusual.
At the rate Snowfall is going the latest season thread will be multiple times longer than the S1 thread.

But. Mr Robot Season 1 was a hit, while by Season 4 it had struggle numbers even for 2019 standards. So it is still disproportionately popular on here like Snowfall is

Rewatching from the beginning before jumping in on season 4 and season 1 remains a chore for me.

The Mexican storyline was built on a scenario that didn’t make since. If Lucia and Pedro’s plan was to take the money, buy the drugs, sell the drugs for a big profit and then return the money before Pedro’s father even knew it was missing, what was the point of having Oso steal the money???? They introduced unnecessary risk and added an unnecessary accomplice for no benefit. :mindblown:

Nobody really checking for FX shows and they were already invested in Power. It's amazing to me too, seeing on Facebook, the amount of people that are just now watching Snowfall. Pandemic allowed a lot of people to find it too.

I'm seeing advertising for Snowfall for the first time. NBA games, youtube, taxi cabs, etc.

I’d say it’s the addition of FX on Hulu that’s contributing to the massive spike of folks becoming interested in this show, whether that’s on this forum or elsewhere. Folks been binging damn near everything during this pandemic.

Reminds me of how popular BB was during its final season after becoming available on Netflix and exposed a gem to a lot of folks.

How is this compared to narcos ?

This isn't anywhere near Narcos.

This is like "GTA San Andres: The Series" with a little bit of the movie Traffic.

Saw some activity in this thread.
Just wanted to revise my opinion to say that, by the latest seasons, I'm looking more forward to this than a potential new season of either Narcos show.

This dude Franklin really walked dolo in foreign territory at night with 2 bricks in his backpack ? Then followed a crackhead who led him to a dealing spot where he just FRONTED 2 ks and not get accused of being a fed or worse get robbed/killed ?? Then the dealer who just met man introduced him straight up to his boss ??? Then said boss just showed him his secret formula just because Franklin called him an artist ????

I know this is fiction but the writing there was not good at all. This should have taken 2 or 3 eps at least. I've never been in the game but I refuse to believe that dudes gain trust that easily in that shady business.

This was the episode that had me calling the show a "Live action GTA side quest".

Following NPC'S around to find a hidden quest giver :russ:.

I STILL say season 1 was the worst season.
