Season 1 Reviews
NPR
Eric Deggans
The best thing about "Snowfall" is the way it recreates the rhythms of life in 1983-era South Central Los Angeles.
The Ringer
Alison Herman
An inherent risk in [Snowfall's] undertaking, though, is that it might prove too unwieldy for even a sprawling series to have a handle on right from the start.
Rolling Stone
Rob Sheffield
Snowfall moves fast through these tangled stories, with a real sense of the human pain at the center of it; the show works emotionally even when it reaches too far for the story to make sense.
Observer
Anne Easton
It's not original in a way that's super revelatory, but it certainly looks amazing and tells a tale that's definitely worth an investment of time.
AV Club
Kyle Fowle
If it can wrangle its trite storytelling devices and embrace the nuance given to Franklin's emotional and physical journey, FX could have something compelling on its hands.
San Jose Mercury News
Chuck Barney
Somewhere amid all the personalities and plot threads of Snowfall lies a compelling -- and even vital -- story.
New York Post
Michael Starr
Snowfall takes a while to get going -- and has a tough time meshing its three main storylines into a pulse-pounding narrative.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
At its best, Snowfall illustrates the unintended consequences and collateral damage associated with drugs while revisiting the CIA's role and shady dealings to advance its foreign-policy objectives.
The Atlantic
Sophie Gilbert
Singleton can't quite get to the core of why these sympathetic and intelligent people would be so willing to risk everything for a business whose ugliest elements seem to horrify them.
Vox
Emily St. James
Watching its first season, I found myself frustrated by the show's insistence on taking its time, but also lured in by it. It's not instantly great TV, but it's instantly confident TV, and that counts for a lot.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Well-produced and particularly well-acted newcomer with a lot of moving parts, potentially too many.
Los Angeles Times
Lorraine Ali
If they'd stuck with one story -- Franklin's -- Snowfall would be another strong FX series. But as is, the drama is often as scattered and aimless as its title.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
Snowfall aims to write an origin story for crack cocaine... and to invest viewers in the lives that it changed or ended. Over the first six episodes, though, it doesn't yet get around to the first goal, and it manages the second only now and then.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
Waiting until the seventh episode of your crack origin story to actually introduce crack feels like a poor allocation of time; it's not a coincidence that the show perks up significantly over those last four hours once that... becomes part of the story.
Variety
Sonia Saraiya
If John Singleton's FX series had just a little more focus, it would be one of the best shows of the year. As it is, it's still an atmospheric, captivating look at how the cocaine trade came to South Central Los Angeles, set in the hot summer of 1983.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Snowfall could have been -- should have been? -- a knockout. From what I've seen, though, it's only a diverting jab, a meandering origin story that takes too long to begin fusing its disparate pieces together.
USA Today
Kelly Lawler
For all its faults, Snowfall is still an enjoyable and mostly engaging watch, and gets a lot of mileage out of what it does well.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Ellen Gray
For a significant chunk of the first season there's no crack in evidence... What is Snowfall waiting for? Snow, already.
Entertainment Weekly
Jeff Jensen
It wants to be a big-saga historical fiction chronicling the origins of the early-'80s crack epidemic in Los Angeles. For now, it's a good-looking collection of clichs, dull sensationalism, and echoes of better pulp.
AV Club
Danette Chavez
The series aims to trace the origins of the first crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles. That's a tall order, and Snowfall gamely tries to live up to the challenge, with mixed results.
