vi esta serie con mi padre estoy super enamorado de esta serie tan buena estoy buscando quien es jonh porque en los ccreditos finales sale jonh pero recomiendo esta serie

When it comes to the american 90ies, 80ies, Cocain, the Black community, the reality of Hip Hop (.. that recently died with Snoop, partially) , FBI, Drug-Overlords and the downfall of an believeable empire built from Crack Selling here is the epic series for you. It reminded me a lot of the fact that John Singleton is a brillant Genius behind all this and it even was shown on Disney+ which is quite honoring for a "family channel" so this one will get you day one. If not you don't like filmmaking at all!

I guess it can depend on how you handle violence, or what you are looking for in a show. But Snowfall is one of the best crime shows you will ever watch. Not to mention that it is one the best shows to watch in general. It has some of the greatest directing I have ever seen in a TV show, and the plot is so insane. Every single episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the show is really quite addicting. Damson Idiris is a great actor who plays one of the most American sounding characters you could ever think of, but he has a British accent. He is able to pull it off wonderfully, and I very excited to see how the rest of his acting career plays out. This show is very under rated in my opinion, but I guess I could see how this is maybe more appealing to a younger audience.

This show was utterly brilliant from start to finish, there is very little I can actually critique about it. What's refreshing about it is that you actually feel things for certain characters, I won't give examples because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. I was surprised, shocked and on edge throughout the entire thing. Saddened by how evil some of the people were but somehow you understood them. What's refreshing is that when work is passed over, The late great John Singleton created this - after his passing, it didn't get worse. It somehow kept up momentum and didn't get worse which is what a lot of shows end up doing once it changes hands. They did John proud. The actors and everyone involved were absolutely incredible but what I felt most about the ending (and I hope that I don't give too much away) was that after everything, I just felt sad. Sad that certain people died and despite Franklin being a smart, charismatic, brilliant and powerful leader he ends up the way he does and it fills me with such sadness. Despite losing everything, despite his evil, he could have still come back. People still cared about him but he chooses to live the way he does and it just fills me sadness. He had so much and yet when it's over he decides to live in squaller. It's very accurate I suppose but after everything, more often than not, I just felt sad and empty and I suppose that was the intention. Sensational, from start to finish.

One of best shows I have seen on TV since The Wire. Great writing and memorable characters. If you are fan of any of John Singleton's previous work I think you will enjoy this show as well. And the writers kept John's legacy going after his passing. Because this show was good from beginning to the end. R.I.P John Singleton

I never we knew the details of Iran contra, this series explains it well. And besides that, it’s an incredible series. Well written, well acted. Or a single weak link. Everyone is terrific. Who knew the actor playing Franklin is actually English. He deserves an award for this. I this the series deserves an award. I am hooked.

Jagged, fractured, raw nerves, and oversaturated torque. Compelling, painful, close tv.

This may be THE most compelling Series EVER assembled by ANY network. A better plot than POWER, more entertaining than OZARKS, and probably the greatest character casting of all time by a Movie or Series. This work pulls FX to the TOP of the heap!! Sorry NetFlix, Starz, HBO, CINEMAX & Showtime, but theres a new sheriff in town. This work will probably never be rivalled, much less topped. Congrats to all at FX and this amazing cast for coming as close to perfection as is currently possible.

John Singletons layered take on the american nightmare that was the iran contra affair and the crack cocaine scurge that was dominate in the 80s.

Pretty good show, showing the different sides of smuggling between cultures.
