Season 1. "Freedom, freedom from all of it" whilst in the liquor store he works in as a kid Season 6. "I'm free, free from all of it" after buying a bottle from the same liquor store he used to work in They put so much detail in this
The beat dropping into "Pride." really just stomped my heart knowing that this was truly the end of the story for Franklin Saint. Leon saw a broken man, while Franklin was fine with being his version of "free." Frank didn't want any pity from Leon, which is why he kept walking. Great show with an ending that made it amazing. Hopefully we see Damson in other works after this. RIP John Singleton..
This finale was PERFECT. Pride really bought saint to where he is now. He had so much pride that his best friend offered him a job but his pride & greed was so extreme that even at rock bottom he turned it down because if Frankie couldn’t be king he didn’t want it
Nah when Cissy didn’t wanna let Franklin in the house during S2 made me shed a tear where he wanted to talk about how good a day he had and she locked him out it hurt me to my core reminded me of me and my mom
Heartbreaking, but a realistic ending. Nobody got a happy ending, just shows you it’s not all fun & games in the drug business. We gotta give Damson Idris his flowers, he killed the role of Franklin Saint.
Bingo!!!! You are spot on but who would believe them?? I bet they have lots of crazy stories. Their mind gets stuck at that time zone because they can’t come to grips that it’s over from all angles except their own angle which is redemption and that takes lots of work to do
@user-ul6gb1uo7e yepp it comes full circle you become what you was feeding to the streets, you created it so now you live in it. I have a theory that if they was to make a spinoff I think Franklin would land on his feet, not as in get back in the game but just a normal life
We've got one in our hometown. We commonly don't speak English but this madman was so fluent in English. Turns out that he was a Top University professor back then got depressed and got addicted. He sometimes ramble about history and stuff.
Craziest thing is when you see the OG at the liquor talking about back in the day and you just kind of brush him off not knowing he probably did live that life.
@@bulldawg986 nah it definitely is Leon will live far away with Wanda regretting his life decisions and Franklin will just stay on the streets drinking and most likley getting into punch ups til he ends up dead or he just gets worse goes beyond drinking and becomes a crackhead of his own either way my man is done for plus everyone he ever loved is gone in prison out the country or dead there's no hope for him plus he's free now
It really sucks how misunderstood the ending is. Even when a song called pride is playing ppl still don’t get it Frank is a tragic character that ended up exactly where he was trying to avoid bc of his own pride and greed
A man like Franklin did it start to finish , when you deep into he game ain’t no turning back . His mom played him, and Leon. Leon never had a mother that was there and Franklin mom played on that and twisted his mind when they had scenes together and the nail on the coffin was when she told him don’t give Franklin anything. Leon being stupid went with it and look at it as she sacrificed herself she locked up, who told her to do that , that was her own doing. Franklin was winning the whole time because the CIA kick teddy out and he was gonna be the fall guy for all of it making teddy a clean kill by Franklin because teddy no longer had the protection of CIA. Teddy knew that and that’s why he took his money and also teddy own life was going downhill
Franklin was evil Leon was ruthless but had a heart and killing that kid messed him up badly it broke him but Franklin was a stone cold brutal man now he walks the streets that he destroyed and ruled for years as one of the victims of himself as they said "the drug and alcohol epidemic" that was caused by Franklin and ended with him
FR BRO LIKE DUDE I JUST FINISHED IT LAST NIGHT AND IN MY MIND I LITERALLY SAID PRIDE SHOULD PLAY AND WHEN IT DID I HAD SO MUCH GOODEBUMPS THIS SHOW IS AMAZING
This was one of my favorite songs on the album and the second it came on I got chills bro. “ I wasn’t taught to share but care” he loved everybody but was still greedy and it killed him. One of the greatest ending of all time
As sad as this was, it was fitting. Franklin destroyed his entire community and I see the overall message of the show and a great music selection in the end - Kendrick's "Pride". In the end, Franklin's pride was his downfall. Overall, power and greed leads to corruption, and you will reap what you sow. Also, people who've done some of the worst things in history to many people, usually start off with the best intentions for some people. Yeah, his fate was worse than death, but it doesn't equate to the countless lives he destroyed along the way. MAN WHAT A GREAT SHOW.
do you think a drug lord would have given some random black kid a Kilo of snow and expected him to return the money he made off of it?@@predoirares6877
This show was truly one for the decade. I have not watched anything in my life that’s left me with so many mixed emotions. I get goosebumps from this ending every time I rewatch it. All those people who got caught in the cross fire of franklins dirty work only for him to end up like this. Can you blame sissy or respect her decision? She thought she was doing right by her som systematically as a black man in the crack epidemic being pawned by the same people who are against him. Or if he never met teddy would this have been fate regardless in the epidemic? I’m always left empty by it. The writers of this show deserve a fat smooch
This show reminds me of my brother a little bit. When he was a kid he sold drugs, made a lot of money always had an entourage. He bought expensive things, had a new girl every week. But then he lost it all, got arrested, lost his friends, became homeless and drank himself to death My brother would say this same thing to me with the same little detail like lifting his feet when he said he was proud of me. And just like this ending when anyone tried to reach back out he stepped away.
This song was the perfect choice for this ending because the meaning behind this songs goes into Kendrick’s “Pride” and how he knows he is imperfect but he is one of the greatest hip hop artist to ever do it. In the beginning of the song it goes “Loves gonna get you killed, but Prides gonna be the death of you” and this whole song basically represents the character of Franklin Saint how he was very prideful in his work and determination not caring about anyone but himself. This song was the perfect way to end this show, because it really shows how pride led to this characters downfall, destroying everything around him to the point he ends up with nothing.
Call me a p*ssy but I cried my soul out when he said “you’re my best friend and Iam proud of you” I deep the storyline from A to Z from the beginning and this ending and got mad chills from it, it feels it affects me in real life. Even the music at the end haunts me weeks later. Snowfall is a masterpiece!
Ong bro, just finished the last episode I’ve been crying. It’s affecting me as I speak. Thinking to my self that whole show really just took a peice out my heart. Fucking masterpiece.
I finished it with my mom last night, I watched it over the course of a few months and my mom eventually caught up to me and we watched the last few episodes together, and I was so close to crying at this ending. If I watched it by myself back to back with those last few episodes I would've been in the same boat as you, this ending is the only thing I've been thinking about for the whole day, it was so beautifully made.
4 ways to get out the game: "El Camino": on the run as a fugitive "Better Call Saul": incarcerated/life sentence "Breaking Bad": killed off Here, thrown away, forgotten by society, with nothing to your name
@@tokyoziah2242Leon did most of his evil on Franklins behalf, Leon's fate is living in guilt, but he was wise enough to get out rather than go deeper into crime, which earned him life.
@@smittyjjensin558 leon was still in the drug business when franklin was asking him for his money, franklin literally wanted out but couldn't since people like teddy were screwing him over
hits hard how the episode is called "sins of the farther" because after despising everything his farther did and his addiction to alcohol, he ends up in the same fate. Without even realising it.
that’s now what sins of the father means. the pride of alton as a black panther and losing it all, deaming his own life without value and be fine with being an alcoholic, that same pride being passed down to Franklin
I think in a way this is the best ending for the show, it’s a perfect way to show that the glory this life comes with isn’t always worth it, in the end 9/10 you’ll end up becoming the one thing you always said you never would be, in Franklins own way he became like his father, this life cost him so much.
I like how they ended the series with Franklin becoming a shell of the man he built himself up to be just to end up like his father instead of just having him get killed he ends up slowly killing himself with alcohol, and also the shift in maturity between Franklin and Leon's relationship from the first epsiode compared to the ending
This is depressing... I had an OG from the projects I lived in, claim to be the baddest and biggest mf around back in his day... Makes me think about this video and how they lost it all too and no one believes them
@@marvelpugs6964Not once did I ever dislike Oso. There were plenty of times when Wanda and Leon pissed me off, but damn Gustavo was just too damn likeable the entire show
He accepted (finally) what he had done. This was him telling Leon that he was going to keep down the road he had paved for himself even though it was a road to nowhere BECAUSE he had paved it. Earlier Alton talks about that freedom. Franklin doesn't understand because he looks at Alton as JUST another drunken bum because that's what he is on the surface. In reality Alton had accepted the hell he had created for himself past all the ideologies, the murder, the running. He was free because he had accepted what he did. Franklin finally accepted his wrongs here. Except, to accept the wrongs Franklin did means he has to accept that even though he could have had everything he would have lost what little bit he had left getting it. Here he accepts that although he has nothing it's a freedom. He's no dog for the government anymore but he's also not trying to get his wings back through Leon's offer for some redemption because he's too far gone for that and HE did that and he KNOWS that. He knew that all along too which is why when he's tripping on that acid at that party all his guilt and paranoia finally topples over and appears to him as hallucinations and all he's left as is the naive child he is when stripped of his pride and greed. He tried so hard to do things his way through out the series that he never stopped to take in al the horrible things he did or the way he treated everyone else. Like i said earlier, he accepts that. It's why they use the song's intro and why it cuts off before Kendrick's verse. "In another life I was there." In another life Franklin had that money. That's probably what he was thinking about for those years he spent hitting that bottle. This moment was the show letting us know he accepts that it's gone. It's why instead of a hand out he lets Leon know he's proud of him because that's all that's left. He's given in. The only part of the story he knows is his now is accepting the consequences of everything.
This ending is absolutely haunting. It will sit with me for a very long time. Pride by Kendrick was the perfect closing song. One of the top endings to a series for me. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of all the lives that have been destroyed by the actions of our government, and the things done in our name for these never ending wars. Just think, if this is what our government was doing in the 80s and 90s, what have they been doing that we don't even know about since the start of the 21st century?
I’ve watched a lot of shows sopranos, the wire, breaking bad, boardwalk empire, oz, all in the same category and snowfall was recommended to me by my co workers and I’ll tell you I’ve never been into a show so much in my life and in my opinion I absolutely loved the way this show ended and I ain’t ashamed to say it shit made me cry and think about it for days Lmaoo that’s how you know it’s a damn good show! Snowfall is one of the best shows ever fr I’m just sad it’s over
The part where he says “look, they are filming a movie here.” And he yells “not like yall going to win an Oscar?” That would have been Boyz In The Hood they were filming there. Just a nice little Easter egg.
Wow crazy. i didn't think of the Singleton connection at that moment. Would have been nice if they had dropped a reference, maybe someone looking or dressed like Cuba around the set.
one lowkey detail I notice is that the white man got him slinging dope with ease, and at the end, he never drank alcohol, until the white man offered him alcohol with ease...idk if that was thought out but damn. all it takes is one moment
@@jessietatum4989 I assuming you never watched the show...but if you have then your comment makes no sense. Keep in mind that it was Teddy that basically help Franklin with everything, even though Franklin went to the Spanish dude in the first season but Teddy supplied him with everything ease... The point of the original comment that Teddy was the source of all of Franklin's problems on top of him creating his own. This is made clear when Franklin was talking to himself. "The white is not the problem...not yet."
@@jessietatum4989 No, because it was white cia agents and officials that flooded black communities with crack to ruin them in real life and that's what they chose to show on screen
At that moment when Franklin parted ways from Leon, it was at that moment that Franklin became a humbled human being. After all that lust for money and power he knew it was time to kill that version of Franklin and turn over a new leaf. It literally took everything hes got to be stripped away from him just so he can realize what he was doing was pure evil and morally wrong. He lost friends and family along the way. And now he wants to take "Pride" in fixing his responsibilities and let nobody help him when he is at his lowest. I think we all go through that mental phase in life to where we need to kill the version of ourselves that make us weak and stagnant in order to make us a more stronger independent person. You know what the sad part about this scene is not Franklin's struggle itself, but the controversial wake up call that people have to hit rock bottom in order to appreciate the good things that they have in life that other people don't have. I'm wondering what life would I have lived if I didn't have both of my parents in my life? How many people didn't have both parents? What would my life be like if there was drugs involved during my depression phases? There's a lot of what ifs to each alternative reality based off the choices you do in life.
Yea 100% agree with you and in the beginning he wanted freedom but by the end he realizes that all of that lust and greed to make money of crack he envy to make more money through illegal means, and his wrath to be violent, on others and destroy people lives wasn’t freedom at but being tied down to the money 💴 and to teddy and the CIA those things took controlled of Franklin but sadly he lost everyone and everything except Leon and be glutton to alcohol that’s what all it took to realize it wasn’t worth it and he is indeed a failure (sloth) for who he became and all of that was his (pride) the main factor in all of this but the good thing about this is that triumphantly (in his own way) declaring that he is now "free from all of it." the burden from money addiction and from teddy and the CIA even tho it’s still sad tho
I've met dope heads like that telling stories about how they ran shit and we laughed and made fun of them ran em off never thinking twice about it even had uncle's on the same shit, guessing you don't cross paths with people like that to make you stop and think twice.

Ong bro, just finished the last episode I’ve been crying. It’s affecting me as I speak. Thinking to my self that whole show really just took a peice out my heart. Fucking masterpiece.
@@CM777S❤🤌🏻
I finished it with my mom last night, I watched it over the course of a few months and my mom eventually caught up to me and we watched the last few episodes together, and I was so close to crying at this ending. If I watched it by myself back to back with those last few episodes I would've been in the same boat as you, this ending is the only thing I've been thinking about for the whole day, it was so beautifully made.
4 ways to get out the game:
"El Camino": on the run as a fugitive
"Better Call Saul": incarcerated/life sentence
"Breaking Bad": killed off
Here, thrown away, forgotten by society, with nothing to your name
The only question is how you want to go out once you get in.
Time to watch The Sopranos and The Wire
@@notmytruthTHEtruthtechnically we don't know about sopranos
Sopranos: Killed off
The Wire: You make it to the top, but no one knows you or cares
That, and you have no friends or family to rely on or help you out. Your pride destroyed all of your relationships with them @@Mavenger1845
this ending fucking broke me ngl
Sin does not go unpunished. Perfect ending. Great show
If sin didn’t go unpunished then why is Leon in such good shape, he’s done worse than franklin
@@tokyoziah2242 because leon wasnt greedy
@@tokyoziah2242Leon did most of his evil on Franklins behalf, Leon's fate is living in guilt, but he was wise enough to get out rather than go deeper into crime, which earned him life.
@@smittyjjensin558 leon was still in the drug business when franklin was asking him for his money, franklin literally wanted out but couldn't since people like teddy were screwing him over
@@tokyoziah2242Leon probably has nightmares about killing that kid
Was on the verge of tears and fucking PRIDE. did it
perfect song to end the series with
On god bruh just hit different with that k dot
hits hard how the episode is called "sins of the farther" because after despising everything his farther did and his addiction to alcohol, he ends up in the same fate. Without even realising it.
wym the episode is called "the struggle"
@@kapseldigitalna its called Sins of the Father
@@Havoc26its called "the struggle" bruh💀
that’s now what sins of the father means. the pride of alton as a black panther and losing it all, deaming his own life without value and be fine with being an alcoholic, that same pride being passed down to Franklin
I think in a way this is the best ending for the show, it’s a perfect way to show that the glory this life comes with isn’t always worth it, in the end 9/10 you’ll end up becoming the one thing you always said you never would be, in Franklins own way he became like his father, this life cost him so much.
Pride is actually the perfect song for this
I like how they ended the series with Franklin becoming a shell of the man he built himself up to be just to end up like his father instead of just having him get killed he ends up slowly killing himself with alcohol, and also the shift in maturity between Franklin and Leon's relationship from the first epsiode compared to the ending
Tore my heart to pieces when pride started playing, I love this show so much man, I can’t believe it ended like that, perfect story.
Same honestly perfect song to end it with.
This show is seriously one of the best I’ve ever seen
This ending had me fucked up for at least 2 months. Felt like I lost a real life friend 😢😂
Fr
On my momma
This still hurts my heart man nobody expected this
Even after all this his true and only friend came back
This song and this ending are forever intertwined in my brain now
Same bru
This is depressing... I had an OG from the projects I lived in, claim to be the baddest and biggest mf around back in his day... Makes me think about this video and how they lost it all too and no one believes them
Crazy how in the beginning he said all he wanted was to feel free and at the end I guess he got what he wanted
The finale hit hard man
Damn, just damn.
DAMN.
This show fucked me over the ending got me feelin empty like i lost something
Exactly
Leon and wanda in the end were the only redeeming Characters. Kind of ironic they both started out liabilities
You forgot about oso
@@marvelpugs6964Not once did I ever dislike Oso.
There were plenty of times when Wanda and Leon pissed me off, but damn Gustavo was just too damn likeable the entire show
Alton even told him he is free and Franklin thought he was just a bum but Alton was going through the same thing Franklin going through
Which episode is that
He turned into the thing he sworn not to be
His father
Best ending to a show I’ve ever seen
he became what he hated in his father, it was a great ending
You know what’s crazy he ended up like his dad was at the start… drunk and on the streets. Crazy how the tables turn. Brilliant show 👏
He accepted (finally) what he had done. This was him telling Leon that he was going to keep down the road he had paved for himself even though it was a road to nowhere BECAUSE he had paved it. Earlier Alton talks about that freedom. Franklin doesn't understand because he looks at Alton as JUST another drunken bum because that's what he is on the surface. In reality Alton had accepted the hell he had created for himself past all the ideologies, the murder, the running. He was free because he had accepted what he did. Franklin finally accepted his wrongs here. Except, to accept the wrongs Franklin did means he has to accept that even though he could have had everything he would have lost what little bit he had left getting it. Here he accepts that although he has nothing it's a freedom. He's no dog for the government anymore but he's also not trying to get his wings back through Leon's offer for some redemption because he's too far gone for that and HE did that and he KNOWS that. He knew that all along too which is why when he's tripping on that acid at that party all his guilt and paranoia finally topples over and appears to him as hallucinations and all he's left as is the naive child he is when stripped of his pride and greed. He tried so hard to do things his way through out the series that he never stopped to take in al the horrible things he did or the way he treated everyone else. Like i said earlier, he accepts that. It's why they use the song's intro and why it cuts off before Kendrick's verse. "In another life I was there." In another life Franklin had that money. That's probably what he was thinking about for those years he spent hitting that bottle. This moment was the show letting us know he accepts that it's gone. It's why instead of a hand out he lets Leon know he's proud of him because that's all that's left. He's given in. The only part of the story he knows is his now is accepting the consequences of everything.
real shit
I love this cause this was prolly my favorite song on that album. Kendrick goated
Finished the show in too weeks honestly opened my eyes seeing how in show and on reality how money makes family turn so easy ending got me
This ending destroyed me. It's perfect but damn this show is absolutely perfect
This ending is absolutely haunting. It will sit with me for a very long time. Pride by Kendrick was the perfect closing song. One of the top endings to a series for me. It brings tears to my eyes thinking of all the lives that have been destroyed by the actions of our government, and the things done in our name for these never ending wars. Just think, if this is what our government was doing in the 80s and 90s, what have they been doing that we don't even know about since the start of the 21st century?
I’ve watched a lot of shows sopranos, the wire, breaking bad, boardwalk empire, oz, all in the same category and snowfall was recommended to me by my co workers and I’ll tell you I’ve never been into a show so much in my life and in my opinion I absolutely loved the way this show ended and I ain’t ashamed to say it shit made me cry and think about it for days Lmaoo that’s how you know it’s a damn good show! Snowfall is one of the best shows ever fr I’m just sad it’s over
Took the words right out my mouth, my friends recommended me this show n I’m hooked on it now whenever I rewatch it the ending never leaves my mind
i was holding back tears when he told leon he was the best friend he ever had
@@dorim3165 that whole scene just hurt
I watched a lot of movies and shows in my day but this ending right here rocked me to the core ….brought me to tears 😢
Facts
Some fates are even worse than death......😔
The part where he says “look, they are filming a movie here.” And he yells “not like yall going to win an Oscar?” That would have been Boyz In The Hood they were filming there. Just a nice little Easter egg.
Wow crazy. i didn't think of the Singleton connection at that moment. Would have been nice if they had dropped a reference, maybe someone looking or dressed like Cuba around the set.
Same kids he got ice cream for think he just another bum now
Lol
All that weight he carried while chasing power but like Avi said, “
a man like Franklin Saint always carries the war within inside himself” 🔥
one lowkey detail I notice is that the white man got him slinging dope with ease, and at the end, he never drank alcohol, until the white man offered him alcohol with ease...idk if that was thought out but damn. all it takes is one moment
what the guys being white got to do with it? a black could've got him in the game and made him a drunk just as easy lol
@@jessietatum4989
I assuming you never watched the show...but if you have then your comment makes no sense.
Keep in mind that it was Teddy that basically help Franklin with everything, even though Franklin went to the Spanish dude in the first season but Teddy supplied him with everything ease...
The point of the original comment that Teddy was the source of all of Franklin's problems on top of him creating his own.
This is made clear when Franklin was talking to himself.
"The white is not the problem...not yet."
@@NotRJ001 Man idgaf. the Cia agent coulda been black that's all in saying
@@jessietatum4989 No, because it was white cia agents and officials that flooded black communities with crack to ruin them in real life and that's what they chose to show on screen
@@shaunteewillis3925exactly
When the music hits after Leon turns his back what a amazing ending
ending hit so hard man acting was on point this episode
At that moment when Franklin parted ways from Leon, it was at that moment that Franklin became a humbled human being. After all that lust for money and power he knew it was time to kill that version of Franklin and turn over a new leaf. It literally took everything hes got to be stripped away from him just so he can realize what he was doing was pure evil and morally wrong. He lost friends and family along the way. And now he wants to take "Pride" in fixing his responsibilities and let nobody help him when he is at his lowest.
I think we all go through that mental phase in life to where we need to kill the version of ourselves that make us weak and stagnant in order to make us a more stronger independent person. You know what the sad part about this scene is not Franklin's struggle itself, but the controversial wake up call that people have to hit rock bottom in order to appreciate the good things that they have in life that other people don't have. I'm wondering what life would I have lived if I didn't have both of my parents in my life? How many people didn't have both parents? What would my life be like if there was drugs involved during my depression phases? There's a lot of what ifs to each alternative reality based off the choices you do in life.
Great analysis bro💯 All love to you and anybody in the world reading this ❤️
Yea 100% agree with you and in the beginning he wanted freedom but by the end he realizes that all of that lust and greed to make money of crack he envy to make more money through illegal means, and his wrath to be violent, on others and destroy people lives wasn’t freedom at but being tied down to the money 💴 and to teddy and the CIA those things took controlled of Franklin but sadly he lost everyone and everything except Leon and be glutton to alcohol that’s what all it took to realize it wasn’t worth it and he is indeed a failure (sloth) for who he became and all of that was his (pride) the main factor in all of this but the good thing about this is that triumphantly (in his own way) declaring that he is now "free from all of it." the burden from money addiction and from teddy and the CIA even tho it’s still sad tho
he ended up where his father was in season 1
It's crazy I never really thought about that. Holy shit
@@joshuatheodros5002 that’s why the episode was called “Sins of the Father”
@santa-claus9930 well looks like I found my reason to watch the series again 🤣
Daaaaaaamn
@delly.editz_ it’s got two names
This shit broke my heart so bad.
I don't feel bad for him. He did it to himself
I've met dope heads like that telling stories about how they ran shit and we laughed and made fun of them ran em off never thinking twice about it even had uncle's on the same shit, guessing you don't cross paths with people like that to make you stop and think twice.
