Somewhere amid all the personalities and plot threads of Snowfall lies a compelling -- and even vital -- story.July 05, 2017
For a significant chunk of the first season there's no crack in evidence... What is Snowfall waiting for? Snow, already.July 05, 2017
Doesn't so much remold the template for the drug-fueled drama as much as allow very well-drawn and well-performed characters to play within it.July 05, 2017
Singleton can't quite get to the core of why these sympathetic and intelligent people would be so willing to risk everything for a business whose ugliest elements seem to horrify them.June 30, 2017
Snowfall will feel like too much work for some viewers. But those who stick with it will be rewarded with a drama that's both involving and important.July 05, 2017
As dark as the subject matter is, the series never neglects to be entertaining and stays focused on the characters, who are both predators and victims. Idris, Rios and Hudson all offer nuanced portrayals.July 05, 2017
The series' biggest problem is that Franklin's journey, and that of his not-yet-ravaged suburban neighborhood, is subsumed by too many subplots of unequal interestJuly 05, 2017
Snowfall's performances are superb, the setting is intoxicating and the knowledge of an oncoming drug storm is enough to keep most coming back for more fresh, white powder.July 05, 2017
Well-produced and particularly well-acted newcomer with a lot of moving parts, potentially too many.June 29, 2017
If anything, Snowfall is a series built on accuracy.
