Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

paul2001sw-1 In theory, 'Snowfall' should be a great drama, even a new version of 'The Wire'. It's an of the coming of crack cocaine to America, which led to social devastation and (arguably racist) political over-reaction. But this first series, setting up the scenario, seems strangely mute, telling us a tale of a C.I.A. agent who wants to help the Nicaraguan Contras and a good black kid who somehow becomes a drug dealer. Meanwhile, the various Latino characters fail to hold the attention compared with the black and white protagonists. The story seems broad and unfocused, yet without the detailed portrait of the socio-economic ecosystem that was the greatest strength of 'The Wire'. One guesses the writers have big things planned for series two; but they may struggle to keep their audience watching.

michael_woodley This show has potential to be a second tier show (below top tier shows like Mr Robot, Westworld...etc) but it suffers from something critical. There is little to no interest in the characters. The lead, Franklin, is mildly interesting but only because he is closest to the real draw: the story of crack in the United States. Once that is understood, the show will fall flat. They also need to get rid of Carter Hudson (Teddy). Could there be a more annoying person? He is either acting like he has some mental issues or does in real life. Either way, it is not something you want to watch on screen. Getting rid of Teddy would help but I am not sure they can increase interest in the characters. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't renewed for a Season 2.

briansroof This show is the best series to come out since Sons Of Anarchy. It is as good if not better then game of thrones and all the other shows. We can't wait for another season. Feel like they cut the first season too short. It has gotten so good and the characters are worth knowing. Please people check this out and be honest with your reviews. If anyone was around back them they will know how true this is.

mtjohnson-61001 This show is a decent street drama depicting the rise of crack cocaine and the lives of those entangled in the web of greed and destruction that led to this tragic epidemic. I was enjoying this show until the third episode, spoiler here, that horrifically showed the brutal sexual assault of a male street criminal. In an effort to push the envelope for shock value or to show just how vicious the street game can be the show chose to use a male rape which in my opinion took it over a ledge. This may have worked in a prison based show but I didn't get shock factor, I got repulsion, a lack of realism on street cred and flat out trying to hard to be gritty. This could have been done in so many ways to bring out the brutality of the street and yet, this show chose not only to introduce homosexuality but a vicious sexual assault and casually move on to other mundane scenes it frankly left something to be desired. In this day and age where the more outrageous the better in all things from nudity, profanity, etc. I am sure some will feel this demonstrates just how far this show is willing to go. However, for those seeking a quality experience it took the show a step in the wrong direction and was simply overkill.****Update, I was pretty turned off with the rape scene on the show but soldiered on and just finished the season finale. It's actually a good show and the season finale brought it full circle with much to look forward to next season.
