SNOWFALL SEASON 6 EPISODE 10 SEASON FINALE BREAKDOWN,RECAP, & Easter Eggs! Snowfall season 6 episode 10 recap: Franklin plummets to disaster In desperate need of cash, Franklin goes to Leon (Isaiah John) in the projects. Franklin asks his best friend how much money he has, and Leon tells him he has $3 million. The former promises that if Leon gives him the whole amount, Franklin will make him a partner in the Spring Street development property. Once Franklin is back on his feet, he'll pay Leon back "five to 10 times" more. Leon turns his friend down, arguing Cissy (Michael Hyatt) sacrificed her life to give Franklin something and Leon won't disrespect that.
In a Teddy-style rant, Franklin states he alone is the reason Leon even has money. With a gun in his hand, he demands Leon give him the money or he's going to take it. Leon's men appear behind Franklin. Realizing he’s outmatched, Franklin leaves.
Later, Leon assures Wanda (Gail Bean) Franklin won't come after him again. But Wanda still drops the bombshell that she's buying a one-way ticket to Ghana. At first, he doesn’t express any plans to go with her.
It's not until a visit with Cissy in jail that he's convinced to leave town. Cissy explains one of her greatest tragedies in life was losing Franklin, but one of her greatest surprises was Leon. Cissy encourages him to go be with Wanda, and to find out who he really wants to be in life so he can come back one day and properly atone for his mistakes
At Cissy's home, Franklin is trying to regroup when real estate tycoon Paul Davis (Steven Williams) shows up offering to buy Franklin out of the Spring Street development deal. Paul informs Franklin that Veronique (Devyn Tyler) reached out about the idea. Franklin quickly explains to Paul he was misinformed, he's not selling his stake.
Franklin goes to confront his pregnant girlfriend about going behind his back. With his hands around Veronique's neck, he cautions her from ever taking such action again. He explains Spring Street will continue to be funded, as he's sold all the South Central properties to his mom's former boss, Arnold Tulfowitz (Mark Harelik). Veronique is not pleased with the news.
Later when Franklin goes to the bank to get a credit line and make a withdrawal, he learns that Veronique emptied most of the account, taking roughly $800,000, before leaving town. #snowfall #snowfallfx #snowfallending
Thoughts on the Snowfall ending???
Like it
Far from what I predicted..but I like that Snowfall didn't repeat occurrences i.e Franklin and Louie ain't get shot again and Wanda stayed clean. Great ending and cautionary tale. Only thing wrong is I would have liked to see Parissa,before leaving, take out Julia(with twist being Teddy's son and her pregnancy were both actually by Havemeyer)
I thought that CIA officer got killed by the KGB agent
Wanted Franklin to have a better outcome
We all know that guy.... Who had it back in the day and lost it and nobody remember s him. Smh
I found it funny how Franklin laughed at finding only $12K in the safe because that's the same amount that Avi told him to bring him back in S1E1 after flipping that first key; it shows how far he rose up to consider that to be nothing and how far he fell not to look at that as an opportunity for another come up.
Mannnn big facts
Facts bro
I keep thinking back to the start of the season where the whole issue starts over trying get to lower prices. The greed that started with Grady’s generosity and lowering prices to 10k turns into the cause of the whole empires falling. 12k ended up costing him a lot more than he thought.
Man that hits harder thinking about it
Great analysis
“I’m the reason y’all getting money in the first place!” That’s essentially the same thing Teddy said to Franklin.
A lot of Teddy rubbing off on Franklin
@@GNEWSSS0 I'd argue it was always there; remember how Avi said it's a curse that Franklin can be anything he wants? As soon as he sold his first key and caused his first death he was gone.
I just love that his first shot at the bar was on the house, kinda like how he gave his community the first taste of crack for free.
Good point!!! I wish I would’ve mentioned on the video🔥🔥💯💯
After seeing season six and the ending of it all, I'm going back to the beginning of all the series so I could see just how Franklin was so obsessed with money and power and couldn't care how he treated people to get it.
@@rosemarywilkerson5742 that was literally everyone in the series lol
YES!!!
WOAAHHH
One thing you left out is avi warning franklin about greed.
"Never get too greedy Franklin, the moment you do that you've lost your advantage."
He wasn’t greedy! He wanted everything he worked hard for! That $73M was rightfully his!
@@superemesean5907 BROOO THANKKK YOU IDK WHY PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING THAT HE WAS LITERALLY OUT THE GAME UNTIL EVERY ONE SCREWED HIM
@314Underrated he could've killed Teddy and took whatever he got left cuz he knows there is no way to get his money back, he was just greedy and taking the worst chances just to get some of his money
@@2shaarp exactly he got greedy, he abandoned his original plan & kept wanting more & more & to get what he wanted he kept killing more & more people until it all caught up wit him
He shoulda disappeared but these opnions are dumb its like arguing over a wrestling because everything is scripted@@2shaarp
Y'all missed one. Y'all skipped right over it lol. The scene where Louie was hiding in the horse ranch. Louie LOVED to ride horses. Her getaway has now become her prison. She was at peace when she was riding horses, now she's afraid, filled with anxiety because the feds are after her. Go back to scenes where she was riding horses. She had security around her to protect her. Now the only security she has is the kind people that refused to give her up
That’s a good one!!
Sad, can't even get a Greyhound out of California to go anywhere cause the DEA's reach is that wide. Ruben messed up not wasting every agent that night
It was shattered when Kane found out about it.
Exactly no one talking about Louie in that corner. They talking about everyone but her
@@GNEWSSS0 great breakdown video though. I had NO idea about the boys n the hood Easter egg. Seen that movie PLENTY of times and that shit went clean over my head 🤣🤣🤣 I'm ashamed of myself
SNOWFALL - snow forms when crystals form together in the sky. The weight of them together is what makes the snow fall. Snow, obviously referencing crack cocaine, is also a metaphor for success, and being at the top of the world. Franklin formed his crew and family together, and the weight of their success, individual problems, demons, and greed, is what made the snow fall down to the ground. For six seasons, we really watched snow form and fall. BRILLIANT SHOW
Brilliant Summary, Thank You
Bro this is brilliantly put
@@jgraphicsAnimations thanks fam. The layered writing in this show was really good
Let’s not overlook the fact that LEON also looked like O.G. UNC with his Gheri Curl Fro and goatee, which I think reflected his O.G. Status and the promise that Jerome presented (for turning his life back around from Hard Crime and Hurting The Community) at the end of his life as he lamented his former change for the dark side. Here, Leon epitomized the best of Alton and Jerome combined in service to the neighborhood. Big ups to the writers and these actors. I was in L.A. during that time, and the energy of the closing scenes was palpable.
Mmmmmmmm good point
It’s implied that Leon looked up to Jerome as a Father figure just like how Jerome saw Franklin as his own son. Later to slap him in anger for sending shots at him then later on I think in the last interaction between Leon and Jerome, Jerome tells Leon “you ain’t family” and you could tell this hurt him a lot. So it makes sense for Leon to take after him as a Man.
Although the ending was sad, I loved it. He became a product of his environment. He despised his father so much for him being a alcoholic, ironically he became his father in the end. The foreshadowing throughout this series was done so perfectly. full circle moment
Product of the environment he created. It was brilliant how they tied it together and also bc that's how it ends for most in the life
No one saw when Leon was walking to franklins house and the 3 kids were like “where you from?” Reminds me of how Leon, Kev, and Franklin were in season 1.
In some ways he turned into Teddy too. Cuz he became so obsessed with the mission nothing else mattered.
I agree!
Yup just like Teddy was a coke head and allowed Parissa(human version of cocaine) to make him feel invincible/euphoric until reality hit, Franklin on the flipside allowed his pursuit of the 73 million and money Peaches took (crack) to rob,hurt and kill those closest to him until destroying himself in process
@Dale Traverso yall act like that 73million wasn't his own money...alot of yall have a short term memory and are only judging Franklin off the last 2 or 3 episodes... Franklin literally forgot about peaches and the money he took, so much to the point he didn't even realize it was 5million... heput Top Notch on peaches after peaches and the money went missing but he really wasn't trippin that hard about it(which is another reason why he couldn't have been that greedy and consumed with money because he let that go and kept focus on his businesses and trying to go legit)
My son made a good point 2. He said Teddy was on the phone with Parissa and not the bank. I bet Parrisa got some of that money!🤔🤔
@@8macvar I ain't forget that 73 million was his own money. Teddy to Franklin was much more dangerous than Peaches cause remember he still though t he was CIA until he found out otherwise
It was a very sad and tragic ending; but it was one of the best series finale. Damson needs an Emmy!
Yup he killed the role!
@@GNEWSSS0 OMG! From the minute that episode started to the end, his acting was superb!
Give this man his flowers.
I have watched a few recaps of shows and yours is, by far, the best. You point out symbolisms and metaphors, you identify the music and how it ties in to the scene… you clearly do the research. No slight to other recaps which are one-dimensional and only scratch the surface. Kudos to ya!
Marc dark is ok
Thanks IROZNEWR!!
Totally agree.
If you noticed it wasn't Franklin's pride that hurt him until the end, it was the people around him. Jerome and Louie had too much pride and wanted to take over for awhile but Franklin was too good. Now when they finally had leverage they took advantage. Sissy had so much pride in making Tedsy pay that she couldn't wait 10 more seconds to get her son back in the legal game they worked so hard for. Leon didn't have pride issues but he wasn't going to give all of his money to Franklin either. Teddy's pride is a big reason why he took Franklin's money and told him he would only give back half. Veronique had pride thinking to sell the stake instead of talking to Franklin about it 1st. She automatically assumed her way was the best way and didn't think that what Franklin did would work. Pride wasn't just with Franklin, it was strong in those around him.
Great point🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mind blowing💯
I agree with everything you said But literally Veronique plan was indeed and in fact a far better plan than Franklins. Veronique is literally a business woman… that’s literally her field of play. Franklin might have built that building but she was the brain that was helping him keep it going. Was she wrong for doing it without his consent? Absolutely. But that’s how confident she was in her skills and I believe her because unlike Franklin, she was level headed the entire situation and cared for only Franklin and their kid.
@@LDVenjiliterally, literally, literally
So basically this what being a real one gets you everyone uses that as a weakness
I want to add to the scene with Franklin and Cissy's last encounter. He flipped out on her the same way he did in S2Ep10, when he went down for that murder charge after shooting Kevin. But in Season 2, instead of yelling at Cissy, he was showing his frustration towards Alton. Showing how furious he was at his father trying to FINALLY give him some fatherly advice after his lack of fatherly deeds in his childhood. This scene was so sad and brilliant because it toys with many opposites. Instead of Franklin behind bars, it's Cissy. (S2) Franklin snapped on Alton because he wanted to be a father at the wrong time and too late (S6Ep10) Franklin snapped on Cissy because she no longer wanted to be a mother at a time when he thought she should help the most/reconcile the mess she made. Also, instead of Franklin being dragged by two or three cops and escorted back into his cell (S2Ep10), he in (S6Ep10) is being dragged and escorted out of the jail.
This scene was played very well, Damson shows the exact same charisma/anger as he did in Season 2, episode 10. Run back both of these scenes, and you'll see exactly what top tier acting looks like.
Good call back!!
When Franklin take that first drink at the bar his eyes get big as paper plates the same way Mel looked when she took that first hit😳 she was hooked
Leon started off a monster and ended up enlighten. Franklin started off enlighten and ended up a monster.
I understand Franklin became his father in the end....,but Alton did clean himself up and ran the center......so maybe there is still some hope for Franklin.
GIVE US A SEASON 7!!!!!!
Alton still had people that cared about him. Franklin sacrificed his whole family and has nothing to show for it🤷♂️its over for frankie
I hope in the spin off...he gets mentioned. A cameo would be awesome but just a mention. Would be a nice nod.
@@bcmoney5272 Saint has people that (still) cares about him as well.
Let’s not forget Alton did sacrifice his whole family, i.e. choosing alcohol over his family, being on the streets for a number of years to where his child felt resentment. Also he killed his cousin, and thought he was doing something noble.
There will always be hope for anybody really but I think in my opinion the issue with Franklin is that he can’t see the forest for the trees.
Even Sissy said that Alton was loving, kind and compassionate. It seems thats something Saint lacked.
I think they are going to bring Franklin back . I don’t see Leon just letting him be a bum and he’s about to get in the music industry. I think they will bring him back and clean him up.
Whoever used Kendrick Lamar song Pride to end the series was a genius
Agreed💯
Crazy that Leon and Franklin’s block changed so much in that short period of time. Leon got pressed by some young boys like he wasn’t running things just a couple years ago. Sets wasn’t that serious back in their day but now they got young boys as soldiers on their actual block.
Franklin became his father in season 1 Lee became Alton after he began to redeem himself…. I can’t but think the feds caught up with Olso’s ex and applying pressure for her to get him to come out of hiding.
@Diamond Augello 🥲🥲 The wedding is how DEA knew who Xiamara was to Gustavo. Yeah I had to listen again to see just how she sounded sort of afraid in the message
I was thinking that 2🤔
Yeah it threw me off when she said North Carolina, because I don’t remember that being the plan.
Yeah and Xiamorra sounded strange on the phone and then she threw her moms in the mix! It was shady!
Yes! Phone call sounded very sketchy and to have called after so long
Franklin's biggest issue to me was not that he was prideful but that he was emotionally reactionary( He laid down his pride on multiple occasions). The ceiling for his emotions was not high and the pressures of leadership crushed him. If you go back to almost every conversation where he explodes or gets disrespectful (with the exception of the last season) he usually takes two shots to the chin before responding in a harsh way that we see, which doesn't seem to be his initial thinking pattern based on his body language. Damson's facial patterns( the head leaning to one side, the slight twitch in his face, and twitchy smile) and body language say to me that most of his worse reactions were the product of mounting pressures, him reacting and trying to hit back harder.
Every other character had their own motivations, which were almost always not aligned with the betterment of the collective. Franklin sought out ways to build himself up and wanted to bring others along with him. Just think if Louie, Jerome, and Leon invested in the downtown business at the beginning of season 5 if things would've turned out how they did? In the end, Franklin clung to his pride because everyone else that he tried to help turned on him and that was all he had left. It's not easy for someone to have a plan and people they love constantly act to upend your plans. The money was a drug that calmed his nerves and when that was gone Franklin became unhinged. The pressure popped him. In the end, Franklin destroyed his community and countless others with the help of his family and they destroyed him.
That's the realness. It started with family. Then complacency and greed. Started to creep in there.
Perfect! But!!!!
I say this all the time no one wants to say it because when your thee boss,captain,big dog, you take all the hits responsibilities for the boat the deckhands ride alongs etc can jump off fail quit anytime whenever there ready cool no one care no problem. but once everything burns down it’s all on the boss he takes the biggest fall all fingers points towards him.
His family loved the ride even down to sissy the so say “the secrete angel the so say sacrifice” for good 🙄!
Yea right they all left him when he needed them the most (every single one!)of them!!!
toke a piece of Franklin with them and from him until he had no more of himself left to give an left him.
The simple old rules of life : they love you when you up an kick you when you down.. when the chips get low they will to…..
This analysis makes me appreciate the series as a whole. It's awesome to rewatch an entire series with the end in mind, that way you pay attention to the foreshadowing.
That’s what I love about snowfall! You can watch it then rewatch the episode and see so many cool details!
The other series which was better after a second watch was Sons Of Anarchy. Snowfall has entered that list of rewatchable series.
When he assumed Leon was gonna give him tht money, it was crazy
The man wanted ALL THE WHOLE 3 MILL😂😂😂 He was wilding lol
Franklin and Leon would have been jumped or killed if that money changed hands especially with no money coming in.Also if Big Deon was there ,something foul definitely would have gone down with Franklin saying he taking the money lol
On multiple social media I've seen a lot of Saint diehards saying Leon should've gave him that money. Crazy!
@@OkieDoaky I'm one of them who feel like he could've given him some, but not all. IJS
It was truly crazy, because at that point, Franklin still had all of his properties, including the Spring Street property to sell.
I don't think many viewers truly understood the actual scale of the Spring Street property. It was to be a skyscraper that would have taken tens of millions of dollars and years to finish. Leon's $3 million would have done nothing but postpone the inevitable, and seeing how delusional Franklin was about that property, Franklin would have let Leon lose all of his money in foreclosure rather than selling.
Peaches was addicted to heroin, not crack. And I think that leon's new hair style, the jerry curls, was a homage to Unc Rome.
Thank you
The first visit i think cissy was still upset with Franklin and wanted one last reason to help him...but after Leon's heartfelt visit....she realized leon was the real son she wanted all along ..in the second visit the way franklin came off sealed her decision...and his fate
Her not uttering a word to him is what set him off. The thing's he said to her was wrong, but I do understand the anger/hurt he felt with all that happened.
I've been thinking about the parallels between Franklin and his dad these past couple of days but didn't think of Leon. That was a beautiful observation you made. I love good storytelling and these easter eggs you find make me appreciate all the different ways stories can be told, through sound/music, set design - not just the acting.
Thank you Amy!
I totally agree with your theory that he shot the locksmith to stage the crime scene...I'm sure he dragged Peaches into the living room...this is one of the best series finales I can remember (like Breaking Bad from beginning to end...I was a fan)
Yup!! and thank you!!
I don't like that nobody ever told Louie she started all of this. She barely admitted her greed to Jerome, but went right back to blaming franklin for all the wars after Jerome died. Louie snaked the family twice. Going to teddy & ordering the hit on kane . Thats the only reason franklin lost his money. The lsd made franklin call teddy tho & gave him a heads up
Best analysis of the show’s ending I’ve seen. That detail about the 2 Altons’ was spot on, such a great observation.
Thanks Brent! I appreciate you watching the video💯
I think your comments are spot on. You have one of the best set and scene observations ever!!!! The way you tie pass season episodes together is seamless. I'll definitely be watching your predictions and episode breakdowns for the spinoff.
Thank you! I’m ready for the spin off!!!
Fantastic synopsis and references to Easter eggs. That clip from the "Boyz in the Hood" trailer got me! Wow. Great job!
Thanks so much!💯🤝
Franklin sold that property to his mother’s enemy because he was upset with her and wanted to get back at her.
Yup! That man was cheesing too when he told Veronique
The snowfall title screen seemed to be modeled after The Walking Dead title screen. After each season or really significant episode, it would continually deteriorate. One of the very many things that I love about the way that the show was formatted.
Yes I love it too, also what made me love the title screen so much is that it oddly doesn’t have a theme song, smth that many shows have nowadays
@@thesekneeswork right!? Such a lost art
Notice the last episode after Cissy killed Teddy the title card was smoke and ashes, after being on fire the whole season. From that moment knew shit wasn’t ending in Franklins favor.
The popular thing now is to say Franklin deserved what he got... but nah it wasn't that he was greedy, he was just trying to get back what was stolen from him.. before that he lived a pretty modest life for a man with over 78million (gotta remember preaches stole 5mill before teddy stole the 73million)... For most of the series Franklin still stayed in the hood (or close) and was wearing his regular jeans/slacks with his members only jacket. Yeah he had a plane but it was practical... other than that he lived pretty modestand made investments and saved (which led him to having 73million) he wasn't greedy at all..he wasn't taxin on the brick and he put everybody on and everybody was rich...he just wanted what was his... it's crazy to think someone is gonna take gettin got for 73million (in the 80s) and not do nothin or feel no type of way after you've had to (accidentally) kill kevin, go to jail and get your ass beat, your hs sweetheart get strung out, have to kill her dad because he was gettin dirty and too close, get shot multiple times by her, have to rehab yourself back to health,go to war with skully, then man boy, then kadeja, because you wouldn't give up Leon, then Kane, have to kill your friend because he became a liability, get 5million stolen by your security, your dad get killed by your plug, fall out with your aunt and uncle because LOUIE was greedy,and after allllll that have this white man take ALLLL your money would make that all had been for Nothin. Teddy started it Louie Stoked it and Cissy selfishly solidified his fait. Cissy didn't kill Teddy to save Franklin because she coulda been did that when they had him tied up... the beginning of the season she was with Franklin gettin back at teddy and Louie for crossing him... Franklin stayed true to his mission. Cissy and everybody else kept flip flopping on what they wanted to do and how they felt... sissy wanted to feel a tone and be a martyr and selfishly put her son back at square zero again... Franklin was going to get his money get out of the game like he intended and focus on his real estate developments... he wasn't being greedy for money , he was staying true to his end goal plan.. yeah this is long but it's just irritating keep hearing the narrative that Franklin was greedy over money because people are just surface-level thinking and following popular opinion.
Thank you i have the same sentiment. Ppl wanted to act high and moral when franklin was low. Leon should have gave him at least 500K. Cissy plan took her son soul and caused him suffering
Exactly!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He was still left with millions even after Teddy’s demise. It was absolutely ego, pride and obsession that landed him in the homeless addict club… “if I can’t have back my 73 million and Spring St. development then Fck everything!” 🤦🏻♀️ 💯 Franklin could’ve regrouped with the millions in 💵 & property he was still holding, but decided to continue throwing manic hissy fits like a petulant child fueled by dark liquor.
And Franklin only started becoming ruthless when his other best friend Kevin stole $$ and gave away the recipe to Lucia and Oso
@MacVar 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This is by far the best comment I've seen. YOU NAILED IT!!!!💨💣💥💯💯💯💯
Snowfall has done what most great Movies or tv shows do… it keeps u intrigued even after its end, wanting more alternate scenarios and asking questions that we can only imagine the answers to in our minds. The feeling it leaves is more than a bitter sweet feeling it’s gut wrenching at the same time nostalgic in its last moments. I hate that it’s over R.I.P John Singleton thank you for introducing us to Snowfall and Franklin Saint- Damson Idris, Leon, Uncle Jerome, Mama Saint aka- Sissy and The gang. #LEGENDARY
I agree! I’m going to miss the show💯
I'm watching all the Seasons all over again, and finding myself more intrigued
The best breakdown I’ve come across! It wasn’t just an episode summary, you actually dove deep into the details. Great work!!!
Great job on catching the $12000 thing. And I think that’s also why he started laughing all crazy.👍🏽
True that! Thanks for watching🤝
Bruh you do the best breakdowns!
I appreciate that my guy!
i was very happy for oso nobody talks about him enough he was really a real one.
Great job on the breakdown. The research was on point!
Thanks David🔥🔥
Damn...this was really good!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Well done!!
Thank Kelly!🤝💯
I know Singleton always made unhappy endings but damn man. I didn't wanna see Franklin go out like that.
Love the 2 Alton take on the ending. Never thought about that.
Thank you 💯
Love your breakdown bro. Best by far. No bullshit💯 salute
Thank you Sean!!!
I thought it was interesting how when Franklin snaps on Leon and Cissy he echoes Teddy saying that Leon and Cissy wouldn’t have their money without him.
Your breakdowns are the BEST on any channel..thanks
Thanks Rod!
Pride by k dot is a very fitting outro because that’s also what kept him poor after it all came crashing down. This man had 3 years to get back on his feet ! He couldnt get back into the game some how in all that time? Why he ain’t try to go to skully ? Or work his way back but accept he can be the man for now ? It’s pride. His pride is what kept him from getting a regular job. He made a fortune in a short amount of time there was no way he could comfortably go back to being a civilian. He wanted It all and he intended to get it his way. It was all or nothing. He chose to live a bum life forever rather than that go back to his old life. Pride destroyed him
thiiis 💯
Great video. I recently binged this show after hearing how great it was for years. Definitely a tear-jerker at the end. I like how you found these Easter eggs and showed them in the video.
Leon is one of the best side characters ever
Forreal!
His freedom monologue reminds me of that 4th of July episode where Alton said something similar. It's insane to see how Franklin followed.
On another note. This show showed me the horror that addiction brings. I didn't think i'd able to relate to it. But seeing your potential be killed by a temporary bliss, is more relatable than id like it to be. Made me start cleaning my life up.
Franklin's voice and actions remind me of Denzel frequently thru the show.
I agree
I don’t think the 36 mil was real that Ted was going to transfer. Cissy saw how he lied about Alton to get out of torture so she shot him before he set Franklin up.
Teddy was lying, he had already handed the money over to the CIA. But, I guess we'll never know for certain.
I wondered that too but if that was the case, he would have just offered it all... the CIA does in fact train their agents to be able to see what people want most and offer it in turn for working with them, so its not a crazy thought
Let’s not forget that Franklin was trying to go legit, but teddy took his money, everything and almost everyone fell from there
Damn Teddy!!!!
@@GNEWSSS0 💯
That’s where the greed gets displayed. Veronique explain to him that he need to calm down because they still had a decent amount money tied into the real estate business and that wasn’t enough for him.
@@DM-lj2mn No she didn't tell him that until the end. When Teddy first took the money she told him even if they sold off all the other properties they would have enough to float the downtown building and that's where the real money was. She also told him that them defaulting is what the banks live for and that it would the other business that they had because all the other investor would smell blood. Her telling him all these things sent him into a panic and he went to Louie, then after her money. Funny how his plan after he got his money took was her last plan after he didn't get the money back.
@@Judah-144 I definitely remember her telling him that.
It was sad to see Franklin got out like that but at the same time he said he was finally “free”
Yup!!
He not free he's a slave to the bottle
@@seanburton6904 He turned out to be just like his Dad someone he didn’t want to be like
Free from having to answer to CIA or anyone else ...but yeah slave to vice like alcohol and likely drugs down the line cause unlike Alton he no longer has a Cissy in his life to motivate him
@Sean Burton but he was free of responsibility. No bills. No worrying about workers robbing him. Etc
They did Franklin wrong his mom didn’t want him to have that money, Leon left him for dead, Vee robbed him, Unc and his wife tried to steal the connect, not to mention peaches stealing. They all left him from dead completely he should’ve left them when he got put on I’m sorry he was too loyal to all of them
Facts leon could have threw the nigga 500k.
I think Teddy and Peaches both were set on stealing money since both got shot in Season 5/Season 4 and got PTSD considering they both were addicts that been in wars. Franklin to them became a liability.
@@dtraversodt agreed. Everyone said Franklin got greedy at the end but I don’t see it like that at all that man helped all of them and in my opinion that stabbed him in the back I would’ve fought for my money too. Just to turn away and give up something I worked for. He definitely panicked and thought he had all these lifelines and got fu$ked SMH that ending was unexpected
Yea but thats the thing don't nobody owe nobody nothing if they helped u or not. N he was too like aggressive with everyone after a certain point. Dont nobody wanna deal with that
@@MissMFinDaniels yeah but he should’ve left them behind he was warned by so many people what was going to happen
Excellent break down, def one of the most in-depth ones I saw so far.:.
Thanks Anderson!
They should do a sequel where an Overweight Corrections officer becomes a famous rapper calling himself SnowFall aka Frank Saint.
And an older Franklin sees it and loses his shit
You also forgot to mention that when he visited her for the second time she could tell he's drunk just like his father, not only that but Frank also said he paid for that house, just like his dad, and it's the second time around to see her hinting that history repeats itself, she won't never get out of the situation she's end, meaning nothing will ever change
For me 3 things fucked Franklin.
1) his mama
2) his bitch
3) his blinding love for money. Which begs the question why he was too trusting with it. Franklin was willing to kill ANYONE for his money which made him think no one would every try to take it.
Brilliant Commentary, Thanks Bruh 👏🏾‼️
THANKS DEE!!
Great review bro. I really appreciate the ending of Snowfall. This situation that franklin is in now is worst than death and prison. Love the Boyz N Da Hood reference as well. Going to miss this show.
Thanks so much! I love that they put Boyz in Hood in reference as well!
Something tells me that Einstein and Big Deon were the inspiration of people in Doughboy's crew. I remember there was a scene where one of Doughboy's friend's quoted literature and Doughboy(probably Deon) told him to shut up
Ngl Franklin ultimate demise was the people that he kept around
Awesome breakdown. You brought out many points and clues I missed. Sharp examination.
Thank you I appreciate it!
I loved the ending bcz I could not predict it and the acting was amazing death and jail were too easy for Franklin he had to atone for what he did to the community
I agree I didn’t see it coming and it was cool to see Damson put on a performance like that at the end
@@GNEWSSS0 there is a GoFundMe to re-up lol you saw that tear fall from Franklin's eye when he tells Leon he is proud of him?....a moment of lucidity in a shell of a friend.
Pointing out the bookshelves, so true. That scene where Leon asks Franklin if he's read the book he gave him. We know how much Leon respects and uses books because he took that shit back, it's probably on that shelf
Also I was thinking the same thing about framing miguel
Yup you right it prob is on one of the shelves! Thanks for watch Brendan!
It was totally a different ending than I thought would happen. Nevertheless, I thought, while sad and tragic, it was very fitting. I wanted to be in Franklin's corner but every time I tried I thought about those who I lost because of the crack trade back in the day. I know that the government set all that up but we did not have to just give in to the trap. But that is a story for another time. I digress.
I hope they do not make a spin off with Franklin because I think the way it ended should just be left the way it is. I did enjoy the show immensely and will miss it as well.
Southwest definitely doesnt go to Africa 😂 14:43
😂😂😂
One more you may have missed, in the last episode at Cissy’s trial Franklin is wearing a gray Members Only jacket, the same one Tony’s alleged killer wore in the last ep of Sopranos
awwww good catch!
Saint had been wearing the member's only jacket. He wore a tan one in season 5 as well.
Great breakdown! Just wanted clarification on something I missed. Why didn't Franklin end up selling the property that Veronique was testing to see how much they could get for it? I know when it showed 3 months later after he got mad at her for it, he was struggling to make the payments.
Mom wouldn’t sign the papers remember
Franklin was delusional and in a state of psychosis. The Spring Street property was a symbol for everything wrong with Franklin's perspective. There was no logical reason for letting the property go into foreclosure.
Franklin didn't have the tens of millions of dollars it would have taken to finish the project, and Veronique was correct to sound out Mr. Davis about an offer, but Franklin foolishly prioritized the Spring Street property over all of his other properties.
Ironically, Franklin still had the Spring Street property to sell when he pulled a gun on Leon to take Leon's $3 million and when he asked his mother to deed her house over to him. It was crazy.
@@Sensofye You are thinking about Cissy's house. The original question was about to Spring Street property.
Another Easter Egg Ximara being in NC makes sense for the spin-off because NC was widely know for its wrestling promotions in the late 80s and early 90s I can see OSO staying and jointing a promotion
Good call thank you!
🫢🫢🫢
i honestly think that may have been a setup… the FBI would definitely go out if their way to catch him seeing how fast they came for Louie
Or a set up by the DEA
You were on point wit the video and i appreciate that alot keep it up bro
Means alot thank you DUQUANE!
Its all good this one of my favorite shows
I never noticed Terry crews in training day!
I was thinking the same thing when I looked the clip up lol
Cissy did say she would go with Franklin to make sure he doesn’t get killed when he drops off teddy and after that she would never speak to him again and I guess she meant it
Never said another word lol
@@GNEWSSS0 yup lol other than “goodbye Franklin”
0:49 First mistake…. Not just coming home.
Facts!
Damn. Really liked this review, especially what you said toward the end, about Leon and Franklin being two Altons. The series ending, I think, was great and fitting. Happy that Leon, Wanda, Cissy and Oso made it out. Franklin too, all things considered. Hoping that, like Alton, somewhere down the line, Franklin is given an opportunity to turn his life around. But I guess him staying like that could be considered a fitting punishment for what he’s done.
Thanks for watching Clinton 🙏🤝💯
Amazing Breakdown Brother!! Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
THANKS BRANDON!!
Thank you for the work you’ve done finding these goldenEaster eggs season after season w/ Snowfall. The last episode broke my heart-but it was fitting for Franklin.
Thank you so much🤝💯
Agreed. my heart broke, but realistically, there could only be about 3 endings. Shot, arrested, or broke… I wasn’t expecting (Broken)😔
LA is funny like that, you could have done a lot of dirt in LA and run off to the IE, San Bernardino, Fontana Moreno Valley, Victorville and Monrovia and hide in plain sight. That’s where most people from LA hid out. And now that’s where most of the Black folks live, in Southern California.
😂😂
You have to imagine Cissy had a similar moment with Alton that she had with Franklin. Franklin clips all his lines of support by the two year time jump.
The way you said Peaches! Lmao 😅
hahahahahahaa
Excellent breakdown! I watched the season finale twice and still didn’t catch all the Easter eggs you mentioned. Although the ending was tragic, it was realistic and masterfully done. Many of the kingpins and o.g.’s of the past, allowed their greed to be their ultimate demise. Many became a slave to the rock they pushed to the community. Franklin just became a slave to the bottle, similar to Alton. This show will go down in history as the best series of all time. 👑💪🏽
I agree and thank you so much🙏💯
@@GNEWSSS0 You’re so welcome. I look forward to watching more of your awesome content! 👍🏽
Also Leon was kinda dressed like Franklin usually does with the adidas and walking like him with his hands behind his back. He also had the Jerome jehri curl
Yup even hit us with that FRANKLIN hands behind his back walk
Saint really could've traded the KGB guy for money
Excellent Review! I really enjoyed this Series, will miss it very much. The ending was perfect not the norm, Franklin did become his Father which gives him a chance to become sober & rebuild his life( with Leon’s help) of course. 😮If he went to prison he probably wouldn’t make it out intact (age) & he didn’t get killed in the end!
If Big Deon was in that room when Franklin pullled that gun, Saint probably would be a pack. Two events that could have changed path of series 1.) Cissy and Alton moving from South Central instead of being approached and blackmailed by Irene 2.) Franklin took Teddy to hospital instead of him driving off to see Parissa. Franklin likely would still have 72 million...but Oso probably would have been caught by DEA sooner and crew would have been arrested at wedding
I have to say, the ending has me still pondering over it nearly a week after it’s conclusion. And still am a little sad by how far our hero fell from the smart kid that had hopes and dreams to the “Town Crazy Drunk”.
What a snow - every episoide was always so excited to see what John Singletons series would bring us the next week. It was positive even in the most negitive ways - becasuse of the hope.
Well all the hope was lost at the end and that is how hopeless he was even if he says he was free - hopelessness still reign supreme!!
It defiantly was not expected the finale making us so sad but how else can you let him off without being punished for the murdered he comitted with his own pistol or the pistols of his gang members on his orders that killed so many. And so many others died smoking the crack that he brought into the community.
I am overal so happy that I watched this show each and every week it was on FX! And I will never forget the characters or the message - and even though this last episoide was a let down (just wanted Franklin to somehow hold his Son in his arms and be a husband who cared about life). Poor momma
I don't know why but for some reason I don't think she had a baby. I could be totally wrong. That one episode where she was going into labor and she fell to the ground out of the chair and held her stomach. The next episode when you saw her her stomach wasn't as big as it was before. And remember, Franklin have been in and out for days at a time. I think she lost the baby
So awesome! ❤This was such a great review! I got more out of this after watching the finale. Leon and Oso! Wow!
I heard you say “spin-off.” Seriously?!? Yes! Can’t wait.
This means a lot thank you!
I used to be so hungry back then . Making grilled cheese sandwitches from tht govt. Cheese.
Great breakdown---esp the last part about Franklin and Leon representing the two Altons.
Thanks J💯🤝
Is it me or does Peaches look like Grady from Sandford and Son on that couch
😂😂
😂😂😂
I was thinking about how Leon look like unc Jerome
I feel like the overall message of the show was about community and love. The only ones who made it out were the ones willing to sacrifice for the community or the ones they loved. Meanwhile, the ones who were selfish or hurt the community suffered. The major players who died were killed due to the actions of toxic people they believed they could trust. It's as if to say that community and family are important, but surrounding yourself with the right people and knowing when to let go of the wrong people is even more important.
People keep saying Franklin didn't care about his mom while she was in jail and only care abouthis money... I mean right after she shot Teddy he was in shock but he didn't chew her out he said "mama we gotta go, we gotta hlget outta here" .She wanted to stay and be caught. He decision was selfish stupid and impulsive because she had no way of proving what she was accusing the C.I.A of. She didn't record, take notes or pictures if her whole socall plan was to sacrifice herself for Franklin...she was too far gone just as Franklin got AFTER she pull that move on him which pushed him to the edge of desperation. And for ppl saying he was wrong for talking to her like that, she was gaslighting him. You don't pull a study like that and expect a person not to wanna know why you did that. The same way Franklin asked teddy "Why'd you do it, why did you take allll of his money" Him needing to know "Why" came in a close 2nd to him wanting his money back because like Franklin said he thought that him and Teddy were friends and would know each other well after all of this. So when Teddy told him why even though it was a selfish asshole answer Franklin felt he atleast had closure in knowing why teddy did it, which is why Franklin said "OK now we're getting somewhere" because before that teddy wouldn't give him any substantial answers. But Cissy couldn't even have the decency to tell him "I did it because I snapped" , "I didn't believe him" ,"because he killed your father", or even something as silly as "because that money had too much blood behind it". She just sat there staring at him as if she was a mute knowing in turn that silent shit was gonna drive him crazy because at this point he lost all his money and right now all he wants is an answer. And then u keep hanging up on him , well ok you showin me where I stand.. I'm trying to give you grace because you're my mom but anybody else I woulda already chewed them out, so ok ima treat you like some mf on the street cuz that's how you treated me by doin this and now you have the audacity to not speak... many people will say well she asked him "is getting this money or it's not ever speaking to me again will you be okay with that" .. sure he said yes because you're asking him to make a choice right there in the moment where he feels the money is right there so yeah he'll say anything to get you out of his face from trying to change his mind but he didn't really mean that. I'm sure once he got the money he would have still been looking out for his mom and trying to talk to her. But if that was her deal she reneged on that and basically said "fuk it you're not going to get your money and you'll never hear from me" and that was some BS... I feel like if she felt she wasn't never going to talk to him anymore why show up to the visits she has an option to not come. But when Leon comes she knows how to talk and wants to act like Leah's been the same she never had this whole series.. I call that bein fake... yeah she braided his hair that time after Leon killed that little girl and had to hide out but prior to that and even after they wasn't that close. But since she's mad at Franklin and not taking accountability for what she did she wants to act like she's so down for Leon.... I know it's a long read but that woman irritated me and everybody who is going with the narrative that she's the victim LOL
It's a long read😂 But I damn sure agree with you about everything, except the closeness of Cissy and Leon. Cissy started to see a change in Lee after he killed Skully's daughter. In her eye's, he became the son she wished she still had. But Cissy's actions pisses me clean off. Idc what nobody say. She had lost it just as she claim Saint did. Hell ..Jerome even saw it. He told Saint, "Cissy done lost her damn mind😂😂😂"
Cissy was too impulsive but with Jerome dead and Alton in Teddy's crossbars, she didn't want to take any chances that Havemeyer and Teddy would kill her and Franklin once transfer went through. A mother's intuition took over explaining why she wanted Leon and Veronique to stay back
@@michellehobson9760 Cissy knew Leon his whole life😂😂 Leon ,Jerome was wrong , was ALWAYS family
@@dtraversodt yeah I know Lee and Saint grew up together. I was saying how her and Lee became closer after Skully's daughter.
@@dtraversodt I get her sacrificing herself for her son, but apart of me still wants to know if the pw was a hit or arrest? I guess we'll never know..
What ppl don’t see is how much Franklin elevated everybody life n had they just listened to him from the first big incident (homie gettin shot in the leg n dying) to his dad to unk n Louie everything would have worked out wayyy better Franklin had to react to everybody’s bs to the point where it drove him to be a monster he didn’t want to lose the money bc he felt like all the things that had happen would have been for nothing I just wished he woulda chalked it up as a lost n moved on if he made it before he could make it again… that’s what I live by
Snowfall is the hood version of breaking bad. That ending put it up in the crime drama pantheon along with Sopranos and the wire.
You did an awesome job!
Thank Joy🙏💯
What a breakdown of this show I appreciate you my friend 👍🏾
Thank you Kaydee!
Just thought about it… couldn’t he have just sold his stake once she ran off with the money to have something to build off of before the 3 months when they took it from him
He had several options but was too Prideful lol
Veronique gave him the best option. They had 800k in the bank. She wanted to stall out the buyers for the Land that wasn’t prime real estate. If he would’ve sold that he would’ve been a millionaire again. The payoff in the long run was the downtown LA real estate they had that would’ve brought back Atleast 15 million in a Year or 2. He choked her for doing her Job. He became Teddy.
@GTV yeah he didn't want to sell to Paul Davis, his competitor and a snake according to...Alton
@@GNEWSSS0 ooh maybe that's why “Pride” by Kendrick was the last song to play at the end. 🤔
Excellent video my G
Way to connect the dots!! Dope !
Thanks my guy!🤝
Dope review. That finale was heavy. Bittersweet almost bc it’s sad as hell but complete. They did an amazing job writing/acting !!!
