    What did I learn from this show?

    THAT EVERYBODY NEEDED TO STOP MAKING FUCKING DECISIONS FOR AND/OR AGAINST FRANKLIN. That boy was gonna take the world. He lost his fucking mind quick at the end but part of that is due to producers wanting to tie the show up I’m sure. We deserved a true come up story with Frankie..

    Such a great show. Just finished

    Loved every minute of it. Except the last 120, that was rough. Wish Fatback and Leon did their thing longer. Wish they didn’t have to end the show & do our boy franklin like that.. We all know he’s smarter than that shit

    First watch and S6 Ep3 diner scene with Jerome made me turn my back on Franklin for good.

    I mean don’t get me wrong, Franklin is obviously a bad guy already… I had accepted that. But then I get to the end of this episode just now. Fuckin Unc meeting Franklin in the diner and him killing me a lil bit with his story about being a lost man when he moved to LA and shit. I had a talk like that from my uncle when I was younger and fuckin up too in my own way, so it kinda hit me harder I guess…

    BUT for Franklins stubborn, stupid, heartless ass just to shove that back in Uncs face? Man, fuck Franklin, he’s truly a fuckin piece of shit, and I officially hope he dies painfully.

    I’m rooting for Unc, Oso, and Skully. Fuck everyone else. That is all.

    Opinion on this 🤦

    I do not comprehend why people thinks it’s morally ok to “tell” on a friend or an associate to get your self out of a jam because he or she is deceased, either way your snitching and you are putting things in the person that’s deceased name that could or couldn’t not be true, your putting allegations on them that they no longer can defend( if your friend ever says if I die and you get caught rat on me I’m dead, and say that it can proven) that different but regardless is it not snitching or is it ? Opinions ?

    Shared with snowfall want to see what the snowfall group thinks ?

    Is Theodore McDonald based on a real person?

    Just wanted some background info on one of the most important people in the show, I’m curious if one guy like him could actually achieve what happened in the show.

    Do all the storylines eventually connect

    I recently got into the show and have finished the 1st season.

    Obviously the show is years old so i’ve been spoiled but i don’t mind. My only complaint about the show is that there are so many storylines

    I’m really only interested in the show because of Franklin and his work dynamic/relationship with his uncle and friends. I really hate when there is a scene with Franklin and then for the next 7 minutes i’m watching the Mexican cartels storyline and Teddys storyline. Do all the storylines connect and become relevant at a certain point because to me at this point it feels like i’m watching 3 separate shows.

    Halfway into season 3 and it’s definitely my favourite series so far

    Watching Franklin grow into a cold and calculating man is so exciting to see. Easily one of the best shows I’ve seen since Breaking Bad and Peaky Blinders.

    Snowfall 3D Thumbnail

    I know I'm not the only person that has noticed this thumbnail to be 3D.

    If you wear glasses and shift your head left and right while maintaining focus on the picture you will see the background shift along with "blood" differently from Frank. Note: it is not as easy to this on your phone, much easier in the Tv.

    Please validate that I'm not the only one that sees this.

    Why does Jerome get a pass?

    Why does no one blame Jerome for everything that happened in the end? He played muscle for his nephew and frontman for his wife. He left such a leadership void in his family that he lowkey got pushed down below everybody.

    Rewatching Snowfall, who is this photo of in Jerome and Lou's house? Probably Franklin right? Seems out of place if it wasn't their kid. This is Episode 2

    Manboy vs Skully & Saint’s involvement

    Why in TF did Franklin cross Skully, knowing how schizo-crazy he is? When Teddy explained what a coup was to Franklin, I really thought he’d follow those steps, provide Skully with the firepower to take out Manboy and continue working with Skully who was too insane to try and stage a takeover like Manboy was always angling towards. That made a lot of sense to me. But instead he gave them both more weapons and fumbled Skully’s assassination, just blowing up the whole thing.

    That plotline confused me because it was so risky coming from Franklin

    Favorite character? That can't be Franklin

    I remeber the first time i saw him i hated him. He seemed like a disrespectful douchebag. But as the showed progressed i started to like him more. He became a great person

    I noticed this when I was listening to spotify

    I heard the names Franklin and Leon and noticed most of the song is about drug dealing and them being hard criminals so the reference was cool

    The downfall Franklin

    From the beginning of the series, we see Franklin was smart but lacked experience when coming into this sort of business. His main issue, in the beginning, was his friends and family letting feelings take control of them instead of using their heads.

    That's why Kevin was killed because he wouldn't stop and think. And most of Leon's issues were due to him being too emotional at the wrong time.

    I'm not saying Franklin was any better, but he kept himself in check and was cold a calculation and it started to show to the others.

    Then, the final nail that ruined everything was Franklin's deadbeat father, who decided to mess with the CIA even after Franklin helped get him off the street, start a business, and pay for his lifestyle.

    His dad messed up everything and started the collapse of Franklin's empire.

    And Loius finalized that breakage.

    About Franklin's fate...

    We know he became an alcoholic, but did he end up on crack too? His teeth looked kind of fucked.

    Unpopular opinion: Cissy sold it all.

    I understand that she was shocked and upset about the confessions of Alton's death but at least let Franklin get the 37 million.
