The protagonist, Franklin Saint, grabs some little boys by their necks as he catches them stealing candy from the neighborhood ice cream man. Kids are outside playing and shooting hoops under palm trees as Ronnie Hudson’s funk classic “West Coast Potluck” bounces out of stereos. Expeditiously.Ĭreated by the late John Singleton, Snowfall begins with a snapshot of an idyllic South Central Los Angeles. It’s time to put Snowfall in your binge watching rotation. If you aren’t already tuned in, you’ve already got three seasons to catch up on, each better than the one before it. What Snowfall does perhaps better than the rest of its contemporary peers is capture the effects policing and crime have on our most vulnerable communities with vivid detail and candor. Though Snowfall hasn’t gotten the hardware or critical acclaim those aforementioned gems have, the show’s as gritty as Ozark, as thoughtful as The Wire, and captures the protagonist’s descent into madness as well as Breaking Bad. But, there’s a new addition to this robust canon: FX’s Snowfall, which just began its fourth season. And you can never forget the infinite catalog of CSI and Law and Order episodes which are perfect for lazy Sundays and lulling you to sleep after a hard day’s work. There’s no shortage of good crime dramas to watch or rewatch- Breaking Bad, Ozark, Sopranos, The Shield, The Wire, Fargo, and True Detective (all three seasons, to be honest).
