    1 3rd of the episode with the most boring character from the most boring subplot talking to himself. 5 episodes in on the show about the birth of ? . Still no ? .

    The ? beginnings won't start until episode 7. I feel ya. I'm waiting for that as well.

    Well last night's episode was good. Franklin's pops is a piece of work.

    When his mom asked him if he was good and he said yeah...i think that was his way of being done wit his father permanently. Letting go whateva feelings he had for him, and moving on w/o regret.

    Smh at his father tho.

    Ah man. Just found this article after I tweeted The Real Rick Ross about the show and if he had a cameo:


    http://www.eurweb.com/2017/08/freeway-rick-ross-say-singletons-snowfall-life-without-permission/#


    Freeway Rick Ross appears to have someone other than the Rapper Rick Ross taking leniency with his life story, and involvement in the Iran Contra.

    In the new FX series “Snowfall” about a black kid involved with ? , the government, and Nicaraguans (an odd similarity to Ross life) John Singleton tells a story about the rise of ? in LA. The reviews haven’t been great The Hollywood Reporter stated:

    The other parts of Snowfall may come together in time, but after four meandering and sometimes confusing hours, it’s easy to lose interest. And if this series is not addictive after four hours, with all the competition it faces, will it ever be?

    But is it at least authentic? Freeway Rick stated this to Hip Hop DX

    I didn’t watch [Snowfall]. I’m boycotting it,” Ross told Trent and Jake. “John [Singleton] he bought my book. He knows me very well and that he would do a [sic] movie about ? in the 80s and not come consult with me. Me and him had lunch together before he talked about the story. That he would go out and do a [project] of this nature. It was kind of like a slap in the face,” he added.

    Ross, who is currently a parolee, said that despite his relationship with the famed director, he found out about the show the same way as the rest of us did.

    “He didn’t [mention anything about Snowfall when we met] I read about it in the newspaper. Matter fact when I met with The Weinsteins’ Company, one of the things that they were concerned about was him doing Snowfall because it’s so closely related but lucky for me everyone knows it’s not the real story. It’s far from the real story and I’ve been getting good feedback from a lot of people saying that the story was far-fetched and almost unbelievable it’s so fake.” Noted Ross, who did note that Singleton’s people reached out to him after the first season was in the can.



    John has been making some snake moves. First the ? scene in The original "ALL Eyez On Me" script, and now this. SMH.

    Ok show but the fluidity of it is all off and the story moves slow for a weekly series. You do ? like that on a streaming service not tv

    Not a bad show, but not as good as I hoped. Think I see why Showtime passed on it.

    True but even though he didn't create ? , he was responsible for it's explosion, plus it takes place in the 80's and involves the C.I.A. Of course this story is loosely based on him.

    Thats what makes it frustrating. I know: suspension of disbelief or he's growing into the life but come the ? on he learns absolutely nothing from his mistakes. Smart dumb ? for real.

    loved the series

    when fam broke out the trunk of the car like the koolaid man

    when the cops showed up at the cookout and choked franklin... the neighbor cop coming to save him and calming the cac cops down... great point of how the people in the community should POLICE the community

    just watched the last episode its crazy the cat that got ? was in the beginning on the episode.. thought he would resurface at the end, but didnt.. i really enjoyed this show
