In 1983 Los Angeles, 19-year old Franklin Saint watches his favorite wrestler, Gustavo '"El Oso" Zapata, lose a high-stakes match. Afterwards, Oso, who works as a cartel enforcer on the side, is given a new job by his contact. Franklin also has a side job selling marijuana on his uncle's behalf, without his mother's knowledge. After CIA officer Logan Miller overdoses on cocaine, fellow operative Teddy McDonald learns that he was running a secret drug ring out of his mansion in order to fund foreign insurgents. McDonald covers up Miller's death, while Oso learns that the job involves committing burglary. McDonald asks his superiors to let him take over Miller's operation. Franklin persuades Avi Drexler, a psychopathic Israeli drug dealer, to front him a kilogram of cocaine that he guarantees will sell in his neighborhood, but Franklin's uncle refuses to help him. During the job, Oso is forced to kill a man in self-defense. Franklin's aunt takes him to her old boss Claudia, who agrees to sell the coke so long as he brings her more tomorrow. On the way home, Franklin sees his homeless father walking along the street, but refuses to stop and talk to him.

Teddy and Alejandro's first deal with Avi goes badly, while Oso refuses to turn over the stolen money to the cartel. He also learns from Lucia that the dead man worked for her uncle and that the money was meant to buy cocaine. Avi assigns Franklin a special task to complete before he receives more coke. While out helping his mother at the housing complex she manages, Franklin also witnesses racial and economic tensions between the impoverished black tenants and the white landlord. Oso returns the money for a chance to join the cartel as a full associate. He and Lucia go to purchase their cocaine from Alejandro and Teddy; despite a brief disagreement, the deal is a success. Upon returning, Lucia explains the cocaine trade to Oso, while Teddy mends fences with Avi. The cartel holds a meeting, at which Lucia's uncle demands the return of the money. Claudia collects another shipment of coke from Franklin, but on the way home, he gets ambushed by rival dealers and severely beaten.
33"Slow Hand"Dan AttiasLeonard ChangJuly 19, 2017 (2017-07-19)XNF010031.05[22]
Having survived his beating, Franklin demands the names of his attackers from Claudia. Teddy becomes paranoid while acquiring rocket launchers for Alejandro due to the presence of U.S. Army serial numbers on them. Oso is instructed to kill a cartel associate so he can be framed for the theft, but refuses to kill anyone with close family ties. Franklin tells Leon of his attack and is introduced to Karvel, a neighborhood thug, whom the pair enlist to track down the thieves and Franklin's stolen money. Oso agrees to eliminate a man named Tomas, but is unable to perform the hit when he witnesses Tomas having dinner with his male partner. Teddy leaves Alejandro at the warehouse to remove the weapons' serial numbers while he attempts to reconcile with his wife, who is also involved with the agency, but the reunion turns sour when Teddy reveals some details of the operation. Franklin and Leon accompany Karvel to the home of one of the thieves, Lenny; when Franklin fails to reason with him, Karvel ends up binding, torturing, and eventually sexually assaulting him. Upon finding the money in a back bedroom, Karvel takes it and leaves, chastising Franklin for being "soft". Oso chooses a harder target with no family ties, much to the chagrin of Lucia and Pedro. Teddy returns to find that Alejandro has fled with all of the munitions, against his orders. Franklin once again goes to his uncle for help, asking for a gun, but he again refuses to help his nephew down the path he is on, before leaving. Franklin's aunt once again helps him, by giving him a pistol.

Having successfully killed Enrique, Oso ditches the body in the trunk of a car. Teddy personally tracks down the Contras, and resumes working with Alejandro to remove the remaining serial numbers. Franklin and Leon go to Karvel's place, only to find him unconscious and drunk. Lucia treats Oso's defensive wounds with cocaine, giving him his first drug high. Franklin gives Karvel's car to Avi, but he refuses to take it instead of the money. He does, however, advise them to dump Karvel in the Mojave Desert. Pedro's cocaine addiction makes him more unstable, while Franklin is forced to ditch Karvel in the desert alive when he tries to escape. Teddy discovers that the Sandinistas have a spy in the Contras' camp, and exposes him. Lucia confronts Pedro, revealing that, had Oso not intervened, Enrique would have killed her when they went to eliminate him. Franklin and Leon track Karvel down, but Leon is ultimately the one who finishes him off. Pedro informs Lucia that their plan worked, and that their uncle thinks Enrique was the thief. After the spy, a young boy, is executed, Teddy finalizes plans to continue shipments of supplies to the Contras and receives a photograph from Alejandro's wife. Franklin sells the car and his motorcycle, earning enough money to pay back Avi. However, he decides to get out of the cocaine trade for good.

Teddy moves ahead with Alejandro's deal, persuading the Colombians to supply him with cocaine.

Reception

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 61% based on 62 reviews, with an average rating of 6.19/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Snowfall struggles to create a compelling drama from its separate storylines, despite Singleton's accurate recreation of 1983 Los Angeles and a strong lead performance from Damson Idris."[52] On Metacritic, the series has a score of 62 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[53] A 100% approval rating for the second season was reported by Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 7.0/10 based on 7 reviews.[54]

Alan Sepinwall of Uproxx gave a mixed review of the series, criticizing the show's clichéd storytelling and pacing; the latter he observed, "oddly feels sluggish and rushed at the same time, lingering over certain tasks and story beats... but then oddly jumping over story points in a way that had me frequently checking to be sure I hadn't skipped an episode by mistake." He further emphasized: "Snowfall's not a bad drama at this stage, just more generic than it should be, especially on a channel known for making old TV ideas feel brand-new."[55]

Matt Zoller Seitz of Vulture, however, gave a positive review to Snowfall, praising "the attention it pays to the sights, sounds and textures of people's lives in 1983 Los Angeles, and to fine details of characterization — in other words, the sort of stuff that would never get a dramatic series a green light unless drugs and violence were attached to it." He further stated: "rather than go for a vibe like The Wire or Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, which explored the drug trade with a newspaperman's anthropological detachment, Snowfall aims for a bouncier, more seductive vibe." Seitz also praised the "phenomenal" acting of Idris, Peris-Mencheta, Hudson, and Rios.[56]
