Official Snowfall Season 3 Thread

Why isn't Andre's daughter sucking dix for a fix like a regular crack head & what will become of her after Andre's death

@ the rate she’s going she just might

she’s not gonna go full crackhead “overnight” tho

and believe it or not some ppl can fight the addiction although some have admitted they never fully defeat it as that temptation is always there as is the threat of regression...this is not to say they will necessarily slip again but that it will be a permanent fight

Yeah, I fukked up brehsI remember posting in the thread when this show was announced and was supposed to be on Showtime. I had really low expectations mainly because I was sick and tired of being pandered to with black shows about drugs, violence, and entertainment. So I ignored this show. I watch Power, I won't be missing shyt if I skip thisI always peeped the season threads being upped, but I figured Power is trash and stays uppedThen I saw a nikka make a Snowfall>>>>Brraking Bad thread. I don't stan BB like most, but I was intrigued. So I saw this was on Hulu and started Season 1 on Friday. I just got all the way caught upI feel like Arsenio Hall realizing he's been missing out on how good the cheese was

This is a genuinely special show. I thought I'd seen all the tropes and cliches of the genre but this is a refreshing take. The Wire is the greatest show of all time, but this show manages to do something that The Wire, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad never did and that's actually make the viewer hold the bad guys accountable for their actions. In the actual stories of those shows, the bad guys reap what they sow(sometimes), but we as the viewer root for them in spite of it. With Snowfall, yeah a part of us wants Franklin to win but we hold him accountable for the fact that as his empire grows his community erodes. More importantly, he is forced to see that. The Wire was amazing in giving us the crack heads perspective along with the drug dealers perspective but they felt like two distinctly separated worlds. Franklin going into the crack house to get Mel and seeing the lives his money is built on was amazing. Ending that episode with "What the fukk just happened!?" was perfect.

I personally liked all three of the storylines starting in season 1, but I get why most didn't. The creators of the show seem to have wanted an intertwined narrative but they also only seem to want to flesh out the street storyline. I feel a connection to all of the characters in the street storyline because all of their personalities have been organically conveyed. I like Oso, but who is he and what are his motivations? We see he obviously has a strong moral code (wouldn't kill any of the guys they were trying to frame if they had family, saved Franklin) but where does that come from? He's spiritual based on the tarot and palm readings. Lucia's supposed to be a psycho, ok. We know she saw her sister get killed(that's most def traumatic), but nothing else really helps me understand what makes her such a troubled person with this shadow over her. Then there's Teddy. I like the character but I don't give a shyt about his marital issues. That's a cliche I'm tired of. We saw it in American Gangster and Narcos Season 1. I'm much more interested in the dynamic with his dad. Teddy has this ultr-patriotic and very idealistic view of America. I think it comes from his upbringing and trying to please his dad. Less wife and kid and more of his brainwashing by his dad would make the characters motivations clearer. He's willing to abandon his wife and kid multiple times and run this operation flooding the streets with cocaine(and no promise of being absolved) for a reason, focus on that reason.

Damson Idris is a motherfukking star, brehsI was shocked when I found out he was British. But beyond his accent(which literally started getting better episode by episode starting Season 2) he is an amazing non-verbal actor. With subtle smirks or frowns, turns of the head or changes in posture he's able to say so much. Dude will blow the fukk up in the next few years.

I have some minor gripes about the show but none of them are important enough to take away from this piff. Imma hate myself for watching Power tonight with this shyt still on my mind

She coulda sniffed and still been somewhat functional tho. That rock completely fukked that up. That was what made that shyt so powerful, we sitting from a position of knowing what rocks do but her character don’t know that.



It’d be interesting if that happened but I really doubt it. I think it only gets worse from here. If she did sober up it’s cuz she bout to be a cop her damn self. Crazy how things work, had she played her cards right she’d be Frank’s main chick still gettin to sniff but reaping the benefits of the money too. Now she a clucker.

This breh... people on some Monday morning quarter back shyt about really one of the first waves of jays. They had no idea what they were getting into.

 

[old pig]

I wonder if franklin would’ve killed andre if mel hadn’t kneed him in the groin

That’s what made that first hit scene so crucial for me. Cuz we as viewers know what happens but you know she ain’t know. Combine the fact that she was cute and a good kid with things going for herself and you couldn’t help but to feel bad.

 

[Legalese]

Thats that crackhead strength to break nailed board off with your bare hands.
Theres no way she hasnt sucked plenty dikks yet even tho they dont show it

 

[Kilgore Trout]

She gonna suck her first dikk soon

Show is wild

 

[Ol’Otis]

The last 2 episodes were based on a real life LA drug trafficker

Long story short the LA sheriffs show up at his house thinking they were making a bust only to find a gram of coke and CIA documents

Next day the CIA shows up at the sheriffs department and confiscate everything that sheriffs took

This is when the LA sheriffs created the Rick Ross task force and made him the main target

 

[86\*/98]

She gonna suck her first dikk soon

Show is wild

Since this show is coming back for season 4 I think it would be dope if there was a situation where she sucked Franklins dikk for rock. It’d show how heartless he’s become and how hopeless she is.

“Your daddy is looking down on you right now, say hi daddy”-Frank


“Hi Daddy”Mel

“I ain’t say take it out”-Frank


*muffled* “Hwii Dawwddi”-Mel

 

[KalKal]

You forgetting this is a TV show and they not about to have this lil pretty light skin girl play a crackhead for rest of the series.
She gonna be on some struggling to get clean type shyt.
Wont be suprised if she go to rehab.

No, I think they're using her like the overhead shot of the neighborhood in the opening credits. It's all about having a physical representation of the decay that Franklin is causing. I don't think she survives to the end of the series. Maybe she TRIES to get clean at some point, but too little, too late.

So you dont think there is no other way to show the destruction Frank is causing in his hood other than to make his love interest and 17 year old pretty light skin girl a permanent crackhead?
The whole point of having her smoked out for the past two episodes was to illustrate that, now she is going to use her fathers suicide that she probably thinks she caused to get clean and get back on the path he wanted for her.
Wouldn't be suprised if Franklin pays to send her off to rehab.
This is TV.

Great breakdown,glad you on board

Its crazy that Reed has changed alot from the first season as well. Teddy's ,Franklins and Lucias storyline all kind of parallel each other somewhat. All of them basically going against what their parents wanted for them,but their motivations still being their family in some form or fashion.
