So im watching Snowfall for the First time and im now on Season 2 Episode 2 Here is what i dont understand: Is Lucia just selling cocaine or also Crack and if so where is she getting it from? Because Lucia and Franklin havent met up yet to make a Deal but she went to those mexicans at the junkyard to Show them the Crack and ive heard she is going After Franklins recipe at one Point in the show. Thanks in advance for any explanations
anyone knows where I can find the snowfall sound effect ? Like the one that plays when Jerome is talking to Leon and tells him “get tf outta here lil ngga” I’m trying to use it as a alarm cause of how upsetting it is.
https://youtu.be/KDCcOMHy_EY?si=mr1Yk8vEfs9mzQWK for the video watch from 1:15, you’ll know what I mean
Cissy done a good job of acting cuz goddamn I hated her more than anyone
i want to raise some capital for a bigger business and i thought of selling candy/sweets at school and what’s a better way to do it than like franklin saint how would you guys do it like franklin saint, meaning you have other people sell for you. i’m a prefect by the way so cia advantage. please help me in a way you would sell similar to franklin saint and maybe what you would sell
I somehow think that people under estimate the interesting character development of Wanda. She started as Leon's girlfriends, started working for Saint, got hooked on crack, gave the recipe to Manboy, probably fucked every one at Manboys cookhouse. Then, the saint crew is really pissed off at her, then Wanda gets shot, Leon takes care of her expenses, she detoxes, gets clean. Comes out and stays off crack, works at some shitty jobs, then work for Saints Real Estate Company in Season 5. At this point she went from being hated to part of the team again, which shows you that all her craziness was predominantly from the crack. She goes to Africa, has an interesting Relationship with Leon from then.
Man, I really like her as a character.
Y’all tell me an alternative reality after Avi gave Teddy the kilo and louis wouldn’t help him
I personally think it was the best ending due to everyone in the show finding peace in mind in “their own ways”.
i just posted on this sub lol but I've been looking through post and it seems to me like cissy and alton are pretty hated but why? i mean alton did kinda suck because he abandoned cissy and franklin but he did get sober and seemed like a genuine person who wanted to do what's right after he moved back in with cissy. it was dumb for him to go after the CIA but it seemed like he genuinely wanted to save franklin and wasn't thinking straight. and why would anyone hate cissy at all? she did almost nothing wrong despite maybe a few mistakes that any human would've made in her situation. to me it gives off the same energy as people hating skyler in breaking bad even though her husband is the abusive meth manufacturer and she's trying to save herself and her family
i feel like people are just scared of change and don't want to admit their favorite things aren't the best thing in the whole world because dude snowfall is CRAZY! i just finished the season 4 finale and dude this show is nuts. i get that there is an argument for breaking bad being better but people acting like snowfall and breaking bad aren't even on the same planet is just denial. the main argument for breaking bad being better than snowfall is "the writing is much better",but, at least in my opinion, I kinda think snowfall's writing is better? or at least more interesting. the characters in breaking bad were REALLY good and I really felt like I cared about jesse, hank, etc, and better call saul did an even better job fleshing out characters like mike and gus but something about snowfall makes the characters seem so REAL yk? it makes me way more invested in snowfall than I ever would've been in breaking bad. am I alone in this?
Hmmm guess he didn't introduce Franklin to all of his businesses 🤔🤔
Wiecie gdzie mogę obejrzeć snowfall za darmo najlepiej jakby było z polskimi napisami albo lektorem🙏🙏🙏
As just finishing the show I personally think it is Jerome and Louie’s fault purely because of the fact that if they didn’t split off in the first place none of this would’ve happens. But at the end of the day everyone played a part in the downfall of Franklin Saint.
Now Cissy, she did whatever she could to save her son. And to be honest she really didn’t she did whatever she could to keep herself from insanity and her killing Teddy really is what sent Franklin into his downward spiral into a junkie.
But tell me what you guys think.
Currently on my first rewatch of snowfall and seeing how teddy and franklin’s relationship was like at the beginning really makes me wonder how thing’s could’ve played out if teddy didn’t screw franklin over. They really could’ve been friends for life
Do you think it’s unfair to call him « evil »?
Btw,I’m aware the series deals with moral complexities, I’m just curious with that justifies the trail of bloodshed and drug addiction (that eventually destroyed his community) he left behind.
I know a lot of people will disagree on this but realize this, when Franklin had to witness his first death being Karvel, he was already extremely hesitant on pulling the trigger and ultimately needed Leon to do it and couldn’t even bare watching him shoot him. He already saw what kind of horrible man Karvel is after what he did to Lenny and couldn’t even pull the trigger to kill him after that showing he still wasn’t even close to a killer for the drug business
Now, here is his best friend, someone he has grown up with basically his entire life and the fact that he even would pull the trigger to save the business to keep showed he was gone atp. Even if he didn’t have intent to kill Kevin.
Some would argue that he was even gone the moment he forced Ray-Ray to kill Lenny
How y’all feel about them in season 6? Being that they’re into it with Franklin got me torn
I just finished snowfall and don’t remember Franklin Saint being a racist skinhead.
any updates on a possible spin off or season 7 really would love to see franklin make a comeback
I don’t know if this has been said before. Really taking a look back, Skully won in possibly the most efficient way. By getting the Saints high asf at the wedding, he made them become an enemy to themselves. Franklin was so down bad he called Teddy about murdering him.
I don’t know about anyone else but if my business partner tells me that I’m jumping ship too. Teddy did what was best for his operation and he already had a relationship with Louie. Skully through a series of events got his revenge.
