This storytelling is incredible, a man who was once stressed about 73 million by the end of everything was happy to see just 20 dollars.
Dam
That was sad seeing how happy he was seeing that Andrew Jackson.
And that’s the irony
Deep
This is one of those commas that just make you sit there and think because it’s so deep and true
He ended up just like the one thing he despised, his father. That's deep
It’s not really deep since you’re like the 1,000th person to repeat that comment already 🤦🏾♂️
In the beginning he despised Alton for being a deadbeat alcoholic that wasn't in his life. And that's exactly how his son is going to grow up feeling about him, without knowing his full story. Life has a way of putting you in other people's shoes so you can understand their struggle.
@@Arimas-bx2rt Alton chose to abandon his son tho
@@Arimas-bx2rt but you would need to blame V for that. She straight up robbed him and left. Once she tells her son how she did his father. The son will shift hate
He shoulda never drunk that shot that's how u get hooked , don't try it if you don't wanna be hooked on it
Damson did a hell of a job playing Franklin. This dude a top level actor.
He didnt only get to play Franklin Saint he got to see how it feels to be American via his character.
Yes
Him acting like a paranoid drunk was played to a TEE!
The way he spoke, mannerisms, the joking then sudden seriousness, the disconnect from reality.... His acting went to another level in this episode!
If Johnathan Majors loses the role of Kang in Marvel, Damson would be a GREAT replacement...
Even if not as Kang, I envision Marvel hiring him soon...
He would have made a great Black Panther if they decided to recast...
Franklin in the finale was 1 of the best performances I have ever seen in my entire life! He absolutely gave it his all in this! Such a powerful performance 👏👏👏 he is without a doubt the next Denzel!
Yeah he did do a great job.At first I wasn’t sure , but he grew into his character very welll.
the drug game 90% of the time leads to death, jail, or exactly how frankilin turned out. this was absolutely genius
That’s same thing I said absolutely genius
i disagree... probably more like 60% do... most drug dealers in my neighborhood ended up becoming real estate investors and business owners. the ones that fail are those who dont exist when they had the chance. franklin is one of those as you can see that he had an exit moment but went back in which lead to his demise
Precisely! 🙌🏾
99.9%
@@djohnson4465 lol bro what. Stop the cap. More like 99% fail.
The fact he isn’t American and played it so well is superb acting
Only two aren’t American & Dasmon had a mentor from Cali
Absolutely! Not once did ask for tea and crumpets by accident 😄
Damson Idris and Idris Elba are top actors
To those saying that the series finale was trash, y'all bugging bad!! That finale was fkn epic!! There's sooo many layers to peel back that gives the entire series its breakdown to *"choices/decisions."* Since the beginning, Cissy never wanted Franklin in that life but Franklin never listened to his mom. He was focused on the money. Leon was tough, project raised, the heart of being "G." Louie was about wanting to be her own boss, making her own decisions, doing what she wanted, how she wanted. V stood by Franklin, despite her not wanting to be apart of Franklin's business but at the same time, V helped Franklin get his "development vision" off the ground. The ol saying: *"a bird in hand is better than two in the bush"* applies to Franklin. Yes, Franklin was so close to getting ½ of his money back but he didn't and because of that, he became irresponsible. V offered that "responsibility phase" to Franklin by sending that guy over to sell his development but Franklin refused. Why? Because he was still gunning for the "two birds in the bush." Despite losing that money, Franklin still had his Development properties, along wit lines of credit, the two things that can get you back in the game!! V saw it. Franklin didn't. Franklin had every opportunity to get back in the game but because he only saw "one thing," he missed out on the opportunities that was right in front of him, that he already had. Louie said she wanted to be her own boss. She fail to realize that even a boss answers to someone or something. *SHE* was the ultimate catalyst that caused their ENTIRE DOWNFALL by going behind Franklin's back to Teddy and that spawned a chain reaction that got completely out of hand!! In the end, she's curled up in a barn, dirty and dingy, why? Because *SHE* wanted to be THE FACE and that FACE is what the FBI and the DEA is after.... SmMFh. Cissy never cared about the money, nor the business. She cared about her son doing the right thing, which he never did, and her love she rekindled wit Alton. When Alton was killed, she said she "died" with him because he wanted out of that life after getting out of the life as a alcoholic. Franklin's decisions allowed so much to happen but Franklin can't see it. So, Cissy killing Teddy was her saying "I'm dead and I'm done." She was at peace, even tho she got locked up, because Alton was dead, along wit Jerome being killed, she was already dead, mentally, and because Franklin was out of control, she had nothing to live for, anymore. Now, Leon on the other hand, was the one catalyst that listened and took heed to advice that came his way throughout the series. That's why Cissy talked to him when she was in jail and how she was so proud of Leon because Leon *"changed."* He went from being in the drug game, poisoning his people, to building a rehabilitation facility to help his people. The moral of it all is *"THE CHOICES WE MAKE BECOMES THE LIFESTYLE WE CHOOSE TO LIVE."* SNOWFALL WAS EPIC!!!
Best comment I read so far, on point 💯
Great spit man. Makes sense
Greatly explained!!
Their upset seeing Franklin like that,the ending was the only way.
Great summary. V was truly a ride or die and Franklin was just to enraged to see that. Heartbreaking to see that he became Alton. I’d like to imagine he redeems himself in the future like Alton was able to.
Snowfall was an absolute masterpiece. You don't see series like this anymore
zerozerozero
@@vaniad555 that series was epic. I was sad when the grandfather burnt his grandson's best friend in front of him begging him to let go of his anger.. Only later to kill him at the end because he tried to stop the shipment and killed the brother of the sister who was making sure everything was going smoothly... I'm on my knees praying that they consider season 2 because season one is undoubtedly brilliant
@@vaniad555it’s good? Should I watch it?
You're talking as if this series was from like 10 years ago🤣 the conclusion was earlier on this year
He’s says it in the very first episode: “I just wanna be free from it all”. Poetic.
The ending of Snowfall is amazing. His rock tore families apart, some died and some ended up in jail, all that pain came back full circle. Classic show, ending was depressing but it really sent out a message.
That was boyz in the hood being filmed when Leon and Franklin was walking to the store and the director sitting on the chair was supposed to be John Singleton in the chair as a tribute to the creater of Snowfall R.I.P
💯
Production of the film started in September around '90. Franklin started his criminal lifestyle around what, '81-'83 ? Sht started unraveling around '87-'88 ? Retribution wastes no time, and it sure isn't worth it.
Nice 👍
He stole Freeway Ricky Ross story.
Wait so who was on the chair then? I don’t really remember
The snowfall ending had me in tears we all know a “Leon” and “Franklin” who chose different paths. I hated the ended for Franklin but he was “free” it wasn’t the “free” I was expecting.
His mom screwed him over the worst
@@glo2fr823 she helped him. Sometimes help doesn’t look like help.
@@jessiewade9202
Well said. Help isn't always what you want but what you need
The ending had me in tears too
@@glo2fr823 nah she saved him. In a way she also saved Leon and Oso. That money was CONSUMING Franklin and Teddy definitely would’ve got back at them. Cissy a G.
brilliant ending and very poetic. it was meant to make you feel depressed seeing a guy who used to be “the man” unravel and lose it all due to his greed and need for control.
I mean every thing he worked for was gone.
After pride comes the fall
It wasn’t an realistic ending but it was pretty dramatic
It was absolutely breaking
@@DaveSmith-cv8zt freeway Rick’s ending was similar. Went from having 300 million to nothing while he was locked up.
6 years of my life finally came to an end with this show. I literally grew with them, evolved and changed, went through some crazy shit as they were goin thru crazy shit each season, it was a true privilege to be able to watch consistent great acting every season. It will definitely be timeless classic that tells life's many stories thru the eyes of the streets.
It doesn't need a spinoff.
It was 7 days for me. Bingewatched all 60 episodes because so many people were all of a sudden talking about this show. I didn't know that it existed.
I just binged it thankfully 😅
I wouldn’t mind a Leon spinoff
@@TheAlexisLovesme the spin off going to be about the gangster rap era 🔥 I think I’ll mostly be about Wanda and Leon and in LA and then in later season Franklin in NY like biggie and 2pac
It's just a show...
Him losing the house at the very end FINALLY gave him relief/peace of mind being he was no longer tied to ANYTHING material from his past and that house was the main stressor left in his life, making him have to hide and remain stressed out.
It was clear that he had.developed "Agoraphobia" (foreshadowed by the Locksmith mentioning it earlier in the episode but saying he couldn't recall the name)
That is why he told Leon "U don't understand, I don't have no Chains on me now, I'm Free!"
That's how much stress he messed his head up, he was happy to not be tied to anything anymore...
This is the comment I was looking for. I recognized that relief right off. It was one of the few times since early in the first season I had seen Franklin express real peace of mind.
I got the same thing from the ending when he said “I’m finally free”
Fax.
The person who was full of greed was Louie,I didn’t see that in Franklin he just wanted his money back and to go legit
She definitely was greedy...never satisfied..I hate Jerome had to die behind her
@@angellsimms2994exactly everything fell apart because of her she wanted to be the boss and everyone around her suffered her decision and the sad part is that she didn't realise that even after the death of Jerome.
He could of been legit a long time ago....after Louie took over could of used his money to go legit
@@emtumillz7852that was his plan until teddy took all of his money
Arguably one of best shows ever written.
Eh, it's a long list
Snowfall breaking bad sons of anarchy top 3
@@dre6243 got
GoT
@@jaquanstokes9329 couldn’t even finish it couldn’t finish the walking dead neither both got boring
The issue I have with a lot of people and yourself on this ending is they put everything on Saint like it’s all his fault. Was he really greedy in the end? I’d argue no almost anybody would of acted the way Saint did in S5 and 6. He was gonna get out the drug game and live life with his family but that was snatched from him by others out of spite. And then his family betrayed him because they were greedy too. Cissy is prolly the biggest reason for Saint’s downfall she was a hypocrite in the end. She wanted Teddy to live when she thought Alton was alive . But as soon as She finds out how stupid she is she rages out and tries to hide it with some moral compass like she was a martyr when in actuality she was just a vengeful spirit facing her consequences. She praises Leon even though he is exactly like Saint outside of caring a little more about his community. Leon is still a drug dealer and the money he’s gonna use to fund her shelter is blood money much like the blood money she bashed Saint for having. I did not expect a happy ending for Saint but I did expect the characters other than Saint to have more accountability. All throughout the seasons it’s always been characters blaming Saint for their issues, some have valid points but we see almost zero accountability esp from characters like Louie who even after Jerome’s death she doesn’t really self reflect. All and all I loved Snowfall I do however figure it would have been a lot better if John Singleton didn’t pass away sadly.
Mic drop!! FACTS!! 👍 I hope people take the time to read this.
Agreed.....
THE MOM!! I was SO mad at Cissy for doing that!! But I guess it just had to be that way in the end.
RIP Mr. Singleton; your final show wound up being a masterpiece!
Finally someone said it, the mom pissed me off so much, and the lack of accountability from the characters made me cringe at times
I literally just posted something similar to this lol 😂😂 he put ALL of them on they was living broke asf until he stepped in. They had no problem profiting from his drug dealing. In fact they were right there with him but want to have morals at the end when they’re not the ones who was losing out on all that damn money. I wish I would expect my son or friend or bf to just walk away when it’s easy for them to say that his mom is weird asf Leon should’ve stayed in Africa coming back trying to be righteous. 🤷🏽♀️
When he took the drink at the bar, I knew what the ending would be.
Hence the shot of the drink in front of his face 🎥
He never drank the whole time right???
@@Cherideluxe correct.
@@Cherideluxe He didn't do anything. Money and power was his drug.
@@illslaptfouttaya exactly. That’s why that ending was so good. Because he was hooked on money and power. He lost both so alcohol became his new addiction
The life Franklin lived it was impossible for him to have a happy ending. I love the realism and the reality of what the bad he’s done to himself and his family and the karma that it brought back to him
He was talking shit about God in the last episode so He had something for Franklin.
I think everyone is saying it’s impossible for him to be happy cause hes black lol every other drug lord behind the scenes has always been chillin
Yah realize the CIA and fbi had a hand in this but I guess because Franklin is black he deserve this .
@@senpailee1967 thank you I said the same thing like teddybis a her and Gustavo is priest like Franklin got played by everyone he should been flying over seas and hiding his money in offshore account
@@wallstreetbella24 the fact he knew and still decided after he found out he actually found out before teddy even knew he knew
I really wanted Franklin to get a happy ending, but there’s always a tv rule, no bad deed goes unpunished.
It's never a happy ending in that world
But Leon was just as bad. Same as Gustavo. Seems like they got a happy ending.
@@judychang8760 Leon realized his wrongdoings and tried to do better. Franklin became blinded w his greed for money
@@khalifallim9406 Yet, Leon still benefited from the drug game. If he was truly reformed, give the money back. Give it to Franklin. No....he kept the blood money. That's like killing someone and only realizing 10 years later that it was wrong. Point is, you knew it was wrong when you were doing it.
They had Franklin going too dark this past season. It was no way he could’ve had a happy ending.
I ain't trust V the moment she just popped up 😂😂
Facts lol like how did they meet
Damn right 👍🏻
To me, the biggest antagonists outside of teddy was franklin’s own family. His mom who no matter what he did kept treating him like her innocent little boy being negatively influenced by evil teddy in her eyes even though franklin was a grown man who made and understood his own choices. His father, who wasn’t in his life to instill discipline and direction into him and when he came back and tried to, it was too late and franklin was too far gone. Uncle Jerome (best character in the show) who knew franklin starting what he did was a bad idea from the start but became ok with it cause of the money and lifestyle he gained until he realized non of it mattered at the cost of seeing his family fall apart. And louie, who was guided by riches from the start, so much to the point that she went behind franklin’s back to gain a false of independence cause teddy would’ve done the same to her like he did to franklin if she wanted out. And finally, franklin’s own desperation was the cause of his rise and downfall. He had many opportunities to get out with something and chose to stay until he lost everything. It takes a village to raise a child and ultimately franklin’s choices are his own but his family failed him as his mentors
I never understood how louie went ahead with it like if I'm telling you this mf'er just robbed me for everything what do you think hes gonna do to you
@@jordanflores5687 I understand how greed can make people do slimy stuff but doing business with a guy that just robbed his last client is crazy
@@officalyrapid it's baffling
@@officalyrapid Exactly. Louie wasn't paying attention just as Franklin wasn't when he saw what Teddy did to Grady. The laughable part was that Louie thought putting a freeze on their accounts would keep their money out of Teddy's reach.
I re-watched season 5 this past week, and I am now convinced that Teddy was always going to seize at least a significant portion of Franklin assets. Teddy met with the asset recovery guy before Franklin said anything about getting out of the game. What precipitated Teddy's move was the Spring Street project. Remember, Teddy was extremely pissed about it and demanded that Franklin pull out of the deal, fearing (correctly) that it was way too high-profile for all of them. When Teddy could no longer control Franklin, it was time for Teddy to burn Franklin and recover whatever assets Franklin had for the CIA -- standard operating procedures.
Who knows? Maybe Teddy might have let Franklin keep some of the money had Teddy not been so pissed, but taking all of the money insured that Franklin could not continue with the Spring Street project, which was about as bad of an idea as Ghost running for public office on Power.
Very well said!
I still don’t understand exactly why teddy took his money though.
Man I completely missed the Cho’s convenience store reference! How dope would it have been to add in a scene where Cho sees how far Franklin has fallen, and offers him his old job just like he did with Alton?
Money is the root of all evil!
Franklin wound up like his dad (how ironic). Everyone involved life was forever affected (death, jail, on the run, etc..). There is never a happy ending. The tribute to Singleton was great. The series ended where it started Franklin & Leon (that same store, walking down that same street). So many deep touching moments (mom, friendship etc..)
Loved when Franklin told Leon "you my best friend & I'm proud of you".
I cried throughout the finale... it was so deep. Excellent job to all the actors (especially Damson), writers, producers etc...RIP John Singleton!
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not the money
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. not money
The Love of money
"The Love of Money"
Exactly! The Love of money
Alton is dead but lives on through Franklin. Such a epic finale and ended exactly how it should have. There was times snowfall got lost throughout the show but I feel it found it's way just in time for the finale and it got the finale so perfect.
I agree season 5 was horrible but glad it got back season 6
@@keem7910 season 5 was the best season
You know when everyone thinks about how drug dealers end up they think Scarface or they wind up in jail for the rest of their lives. Franklin suffered the worst fate someone like him could endure; Karma. He winds up living the life that made him so much money and that’s the life of an addict. Only it’s worse for him because he had it ALL. Money, power, influence. Now he’s a drunk getting evicted and happy to get $20.00 dollars for more liquor. He has a son he probably will never know. He lost the love of a woman who had his back. His friends and family are dead or estranged and the ONE good friend he had left could only cry watching him walk away with his $20.00 bottle of liquor. This is possibly the saddest character ending I’ve ever seen and yet inevitable.
This ending is right up there with Dead Presidents. I've seen this happen to people in the real world and it really hits home. A horribly beautiful ending.
Man this ending had me up re-evaluating decisions Ive made and am currently making. Seeing Franklin fall I felt like him (everybody else failed him) but now after all these reviews I see how wrong I would have been and am. Pride has been at the center of all my fuckups especially in my adult hood.
It takes a real man to admit that 💪💪
Homie idk you but I’m praying for you
A more true ending isn't possible. Most people I know who sold crack eventually became hooked on it themselves and for all the money they had they ended up with nothing. Most accurate ending ever.
Franklin wasn’t hooked on crack he was hooked on alcohol
This acting reminds me of Denzel level..He definitely has a bright future in acting and I can’t wait to see him in more..
He remindes me of Denzel. The way he walks and carries himself.
I seen people say it's sad he turned into his father, but i think he turned out to be worse than his father. Like yes, his father was an alcoholic , but he once stood for something as black panther, and was willing to come back into Franklin's life, get cleaned up, and treated Cissy with respect and love. Franklin on the other hand only ever stood for the money, and killed an innocent repairman, tred to scam his friend, and was willing to sell his mother's own house to get money.
Cissy saved him by killing Teddy, shit honestly Franklin would've been in jail, and even when not talking to him, she still provided him with a place to stay for years by not signing away the house, likely in hopes that franklin would get it together and make something of it.
Sissy was spiteful and hypocritical, she single-handedly cause her sons demise, because she wanted to go out a martyr. She had no right to choose for Franklin, and refused to see him as a man making his own choices in life, instead treated him like a little boy making mistakes that she must correct. How is she going to look down on Franklin and all the things he’s done, but praise Lee for finding happiness when Franklin was trying to do the exact same thing before he got fucked over BY EVERYONE HE TRUSTED! If she truly intended on killing Teddy then she’s also a cruel woman for allowing Franklin to touch his end goal with the tip of his finger, before slamming the door shut on his face, she’s no better than Teddy in my eyes
@@youknowwhoiam6164 Not really. She sacrificed herself to save her son, to give him an opportunity to do better and get out of the game.
Take what funds he had left and go live his life with his wife and kid. Meanwhile honoring her man and killing the villain who's helped corrupt her family.
Any decent parent would sacrifice themselves for their child. As she did. Franklin was so blinded by greed and ego that he couldn't see that, he instead took his anger out on the mother of his child and lost her, and in turn doomed himself.
He had 800k in the bank. That's a lot more than most what people have today, not only that this is back in the 80s he could easily bought a nice house or some property and made that money back legit with some smart investments, but instead he opted to rob, drink, and continue to spiral down.
Whereas Leon took the sacrifice Sissy made, invested his money wisely, got out of the hood, and came back in better mindset to be able to give back and help.
@@youknowwhoiam6164 And not only that. You making it seem like Franklin was this nice guy, he legitimately sold out his whole community for money, he got his family involved, destroying them in the process, and even got tied up in multiple governments he's lucky to still be alive if Oso didn't have his back.
It ain't about Franklin being a man or making choices. For Sissy it was about saving her son. She lost her husband to the government, lost her brother to the streets, she didn't want to lose her son to greed.
So she sacrificed her own freedom to at least leave him a home to build out of, freedom to get back on his feet, and opportunity to learn.
But Franklin squandered it where Leon grew from it. Leon humbled himself and realized what was important. Franklin was blinded by money and the power that comes with it.
No you’re wrong. The guy wanted to do everything as man to keep the downtown project because that was his sweat and even went to Leon to give him loan and become his business partner but the guy didn’t. The guy was very hurt because he protected everyone including Leon and coming back to help Louie shows how much he love his family and was even willing to take half of his money but his mom failed him over anger over his Dad who was a snitch and knew what it ll cost. He fought for everyone but no1 fought for him and Vee running away with the rest of the money was very hurtful at least take half but not everything so literally every body hurt him only Oso kept his promise, even when he went to college because of him being black they took that chance from his hands by saying his mom earns pre than $100,000 when it wasn’t true. And yet no1 took responsibility and accountability for thier fault but blame him. What pissed me off was Leon coming back to ask him to be the partner for his vision. I hope the spin off, he comes to his fit and win back
@@loveradgeukthat part. His mom friends family was some grown ass ppl he did not MAKE them do anything. They wasn’t complaining when they were living the good life. They should’ve had that mindset the whole time. U don’t get to have morals when u participated in everything. They was living trash life until he stepped in that’s ungrateful and hypocritical.
Now I understand the title of the show, his down fall at the end represents the act of snow falling. I thought him dying or going to jail would have been the right punishment but this is definitely how it should have ended. Even though he deserves every single thing, at the end I truly felt sorry for him. Immediately l pictured Franklin in my head from the first season, how innocent he was before the world consumed him.
Criminally underrated show. Excellent, unexpected ending with an outstanding nod to the late, great Singleton.
I wouldn’t say it’s underrated, it’s definitely better than others in this space of shows
Underrated? This show gets the attention it deserves.
Facts
Cap
Realistic ending... Lot of kingpins going broke
Franklin turned into exactly what he hated. He turned into Alton
Wow😢 so true
The ending will stay in your hearts forever. This was a great story
I cried at the ending
I need therapy 😩
Sadly, the ending emphasized the reality that Franklin wasn’t originally on a drug but was still heavily addicted. Cried like a baby watching that last scene🥺
I shed so many tears at the ending 😢
This was a masterpiece of a show. I was a bit doubtful on how the show would go on after Singleton passed, but the final season blew away my expectations. Really hope the show and actors get plenty of recognition after this.
The tiger episode was ridiculous and completely out of the blue, but other than that I agree w this being a masterpiece. Better call Saul is the best show that I have ever watched imo as far as storytelling, acting, cinematography and so on followed by its predecessor breaking bad, then the Soprano’s and now Snowfall. I’m going to miss this show as it was like you said a masterpiece.
Why should Franklin story finish happily? I'll tell you why. Only reason he sold drugs was because the CIA force him without an exit. Second when his aunt took him out the game he didn't try to fight for his spot he let her have it. And tried walking away and starting his new life. But teddy still wasn't satisfied with that. From his own words he told Franklin he took his money because he didn't like him leaving him and wanted to hurt him badly.
Thank you they did Franklin wrong asf
So because of that a serial killer should have a happy ending?
baby, life ain't fair, especially for a Black man in the 80s. So rise and fall as the story goes. Can't do illegal things, help destroy a community and expect good things to come to you. That's not how this thing works.
@@DawnofA thank you for saying that!
@@ronm3034 here we go with words and name calling. When soldiers go to war do you call them serial killers? Or are they welcome back with medals and heroes? Franklin started in the drug business because of his fear of poverty. Remember collage wouldn't even accept him, he tried the normal life before. He sold weed but that wasn't cutting nothing so cocaine was next which wasn't getting him anywhere either. Crack was his only way and was supposed to be for a short time for him to escape poverty. CIA came along and took over from there.
An amazing ending...Bravo!
However it was so hard to watch Franklin spiral down to nothing & ending up like his dad. Loved how he said I'm free & did it my way, even though it was so hard to watch what he'd become. I think John
Singleton would be proud!
Snowfall will go down as one of the best shows ever!
I put this show right up there with The Wire, great acting throughout with a lot of reality.
The wire is legendary. Wish I can watch it for the first time again. Many of the characters could've had their own spinoff
I got what I wanted out of the finale. All I asked for was for Leon, Wanda, and Gustavo to all be safe and happy. I guess some people felt bad for Franklin, but not me. Thanks for the insightful recap.
Me either. I stopped rooting for Franklin a long time ago. All he cared about was himself and his business. When Jerome was beaten by the cops, he was more concerned with his operation than he was about his uncle's wellbeing. Plus after all the work Leon, Jerome and even Louie put in, he stayed acting like he built it all, by himself. I really started to dislike him when he assaulted Alton after he was there for him during his recovery from being shot in sea 3.
@@Arimas-bx2rtyou only half right. You can’t ignore the fact that none of them would be millionaires if Franklin didn’t put in the work he put in. He was infront of every bullet while his uncle and auntie enjoyed the benefits From that. All the heavy lifting and necessary deaths was done by Franklin. Maybe not in the start but when things got real he put his foot down. He set them up with plugs for the guns and drugs. Introduced them to his connections. Besides the last episode, everyone before that betrayed him for real unlike V that left because he fucced up.
@@AldoTegan what does that matter? look at their family now. they said it in season 2, franklin's ambition would kill the family. on top of that, franklin DID NOT do this for them he just knew the only way he could keep them under his thumb was with money. the writers did not mean for franklin to be defendable. most of his success was a string of luck anyways
This ending is so realistic as someone who works with this population. They all have a story
What population exactly 🤔
Huh oh you mean meth heads
The kinds of people I met working at a drug clinic. Some of which lived crazy lives before falling off.
Not realistic at all. Kid sells drug that got help from the cia. He went out of character too deep and could’ve just sold his property and been fine just like Leon.
Nigga talking like a narrator from nat geo 😂
We see people like this in our neighborhoods all the time, not really understanding how or why they got there. It just shows everyone has a story...incredible ending.....
You from LA?
This was the most accurate ending. People want these dudes to ride off into the sunset with all the drug money, but that's not realistic. This game brings nothing but death, jail, and regret. Thats what we got.
I learn this from franklin "Family can be your biggest supporter (Cissy"support you" , Louie "to help you help her get the club") but also your downfall if you don't control their motivation Louie (self worth) (Cissy Revenge)" Franklin so them develop live....and did nothing stop it.🙃🤨🤐🤔hmmmm Manboy saw this coming
Louie got just as greedy as franklin
@@mwoods4608 I agree but it was not just greed, which make it dangerous it was self worth, and these type of person will sacrifice anyone and everyone to come on Top
Leon Was Always My Favorite Character, Simply Because He Eventually Used His Potential

Yep Leon and Gustavo were my favorites. They got out.

@@NBaa2123 he was the loyal one the whole time in my eyes everybody knew what they was getting into it Franklin got the money and fucked it up that would have been his problem nobody looked after him when he really need it when it was too late everybody wanted to show love a real solid friend stick with you right or wrong without Franklin Leon would of been a dead body previous seasons ago and have nothing
@@NBaa2123 They did Franklin wrong .. when shit hit the fan they left him hanging. Everybody knew what they were in for. He gave them the opportunity to become who they were.
Manboy was right about family turning on Franklin and Franklin betrayed Cissy. Cissy turns on Franklin because of his obsession for the money.
Cissy saved Franklin. Teddy wasn't going to just go away...he would have had Franklin killed.
@@IceManLikeGervin Did she really save him though? Sometimes death is a gift.
@@TBrown-sx2dg What??
@@B-Corteztv Franklin would’ve took his chances but his momma want to take the high road like she saved shit she just wanted revenge
@@TBrown-sx2dg She's doing life to protect him from the wrath of teddy
People hate how Franklin ended up but I LOVED this plot twist. It was so dark and twisted and idk how you could be a fan of this show and think any other outcome was possible/fitting. Beautiful work.
every woman in his lef was his down fall and thought they knew best. his aunt portrayed him over money and greed .. his gf swingled him out of money and took his child and ran. when she came in the picture he was a millionaire and took the advice of her mother and trusted her enought to have access to his finances. now his mother could not leave her emotions at the door and killed his whole dream by killing the one person who could give him his money. a life span of hustling and working on the streets to be betrayed by the people most close and the people he fed. now resorted to the bottle and homeless.
Franklin was acting outside his mind all of season 5 and couldn't take the L from Teddy, so he could reassess and move on. It was truly tragic, but the thing that got me was that even after Veronique left Franklin, Franklin still had that money pit commercial building that he could have sold rather than letting it go into foreclosure. It was a shame that Franklin couldn't break any of his chains before losing everything but the dingy white t-shirt on his back at the end.
It was Franklin’s own emotions that ruined him and everything around him. It affected his ability to lead, and it worsened his unhealthy obsession with money over everything. A child would fail with that type of father in their life. That’s why Veronique made the right decision and fled. His mother had already lived her life. She just wanted her son to have the freedom of choice to either course correct or keep going downward, rather than rot in a cell, which was why she took his place.
@@bladebrown4191 Aside from Franklin's behavior, Veronique also had to leave from a purely financial standpoint. Franklin told her he was going to put all the proceeds from the South Central properties into the Spring Street project, which was nothing more than a money pit at that point and a losing proposition.
So Veronique was forced to either take the money and run or let Franklin invest it all in the Spring Street property, only to lose it all in foreclosure eventually. Veronique perceived Franklin's irrationality and that she and their unborn child were headed to the poor house with Franklin.
Even after Veronique cleaned him out, Franklin still had one more move to make, which was selling the Spring Street property to Mr. Davis for whatever Franklin could get out of it. Franklin had invested Millions into that property. Even if Franklin could only recoup a quarter of his investment, that would have been at least hundreds of thousands of dollars and potentially a couple or few million.
I knew Franklin Saint wouldn’t get a happy ending since the pilot episode. Franklin did alot of dirt but was also fair, until the end, he was still he wanted everybody to eat (literally family and close friends) together, then go legit and they all took and stole from him, he literally got everyone in his set out serious jams and they all turned they back on him, when he needed them the most. Seeing Saint a wino at the end, broke my heart.
I agree, but Franklin also encompassed his own ruin. After Cissy shot Teddy, Veronique was making all the right moves, but Franklin was unhinged and not having any of it.
Veronique had the sound judgement to realize that Franklin wasn't going to do anything productive with the money he had in the bank, and if she didn't take it and leave, she (and their baby) would have ended up hitting rock-bottom with Franklin. Even after Veronique split, Franklin still could have sold the building rather than letting it go into foreclosure.
I agree Jimmy!!!!!
Honestly we can’t say what Veronique was gonna do. That fact she (like Teddy) cleaned him out is telling!!!!!
I know Franklin did but he did help his family and friends and really wanted to see him his baby mama and son have a happy ending
@@ParasailOH I honestly think Veronique was going to ride with Franklin until he made it impossible for her to do so. He refused to sell that money pit Spring Street property, and he was planning to dump all of the proceeds from the South Central properties into the money pit, which was still early in construction and years away from profitability. Of all the available decision paths, Franklin was taking the most foolish one.
Basically, Veronique understood that Franklin was going to dump all of that money into the commercial property only to lose everything in foreclosure at the end, which is exactly what happened to Franklin 3 months later. After Veronique cleaned him out, he still could have sold that property for something, which would have been better than nothing.
Franklin had put millions into the Spring Street property before Teddy stole all his money. Then Franklin put the money from his penthouse and the money he stole from Louie and Jerome into that property as well. If Franklin had sold the Spring Street property under construction and received even 25% of his investment, he still might have come out with a couple of million dollars -- a damn good outcome considering how he ultimately ended up. Ironically, in letting that property go into foreclosure, the man who was interested in buying it probably got it for less than he would have paid Franklin.
The way they ended the last episode with pride was so perfect
Perfect ending for this amazing show!
Jerome would had never let franklin turn out like that
Don’t know about that man…….
I don’t think Franklin had the worst ending he could have. He doesn’t appear to be an addict, but a drunkard bum and he doesn’t seem crazy, rather than just mentally defeated and discouraged. They say a spin off is coming, so maybe Franklin gets redeemed in that. Alton didn’t die like that, so Franklin doesn’t either necessarily.
I gotta be honest before I watched the episode, I was expecting Franklin to go out like Tony Montana did. I get why they decided to end the series like this instead, but it is sad to see this is how his story ends. 😔
Incredible story told. Shout out to Freeway Rick! This story wouldn’t have happened without him. Amazing job by all the actors thank you!
Realistically and poetically done. It's not a disappointing ending but snowfall fans like myself wanted Franklin to win
He came too far
Franklin was out-of-control all season. I knew he wasn't going to have a good outcome at the end.
He did
I cried when Franklin told Leon he was his best friend and he was proud of him.
Me tooo
Man I'm at work crying right now
Damn …. I did too
That shit hit so deep
Ain gone lie, I shedded a thug tear or two lol
The fact that he ended up just like his father… that gave me chills it was so sad and so real. Insane.
Franklin started from the bottom, made it all the way to the top, to a multi-millionaire, then hit rock bottom. Lost everything that meant something to him, his money, family, and child... all for the love of money. Not the ending I was hoping for Franklin, but it was fitting for the lifestyle he lived. This show was epic, can't wait to see more from Damson Idris, he killed that role!
He started with 12,000 and ended with that. And just like his father blames his mother for where he’s at. Excellence is this show and also like his father all he had to do was listen to his women and he lost her.
The 12k was really clever
His mother destroyed him
Nooo louie destroyed everything
Snowfall:
1. Cici had to kill the monsters (Franklin & Ted) she helped create. Felt responsible. Saw the whole picture. She knew it would never end, CIA wudnt let him keep $ or Punished for torturing Ted, Or new handler. Either way Franklin stays corrupt and destroys community.
2. Leon given opportunity by Franklin’s friendship, knowledge, access AND most importantly Franklin saved LEON at his lowest (when he was the monster)!!! Leon got a chance to reach his true potential. He comes to save Franklin but Franklin is too far gone. Too many urban blacks corrupted, killed or imprisoned before they can see the light and reach their full potential.
3. We are all damaged goods. Louie: “abused” therefore wanted respect & power.
Uncle: military “PTSD” and “Captain Save-A-Hoe.”
Oso: “lonely” so manipulated looking for family love.
Cici: “broken down” bills, job, husband, losing son (figuratively) so explores drug option.
Leon: “hood culture” made him a young animal.
4. Franklin & Ted (mirror: white/black, urban/suburban, wife & child, validation for EVIL acts JUSTIFIED in own mind) completely corrupted. Their parents, the system, the culture and ultimately themselves were all factors in them becoming a monsters. The lie of potential that you can be “anything” breeds the best among us to often take a dark path. Instead, if the elders actually guided them to become something more specific their skills may have been a benefit to all.
This really made me cry. I was not expecting that ending!! 😢
I never cried during the show but just that last 5 minutes seeing Franklin and Leon made me cry the whole time
Denzel killed Alonzo because he didn’t want such a bad man to win. Snowfall seems to have taken the same route.
Problem is sometimes the bad guy does win. Where we see Franklin get punished for his deeds nothing happened to the CIA and others that assisted in the dumping of cocaine in California.
Money was Franklin's crack. #EndScene #RIPJohnSingleton #Snowfall
Facts money was the only thing franklin cared about the white man destroyed franklin
Chasing money only brings further problems. This man’s thirst for money ultimately led him to the same bottle that held his father captive and turned him into the exact same image that he hated most. Man this finale was tougher than I even thought 😮💨. So many layers
This episode killed me. So sad to see him end up like that. Actually had a damn tear
Franklin had to drink to forget, but knowing what he lost, made him crazy. Greed and naivety destroyed Franklin.
72 Million is a lot tho especially if you started grown up building that
Yes, it was truly greed and naivete. Teddy kept warning Franklin about being so sloppy in season 5, and Franklin somehow thought he could be in so deep with the CIA -- and someone like Teddy in particular -- while still keeping 73 million dollars *in a bank.*
Franklin was okay having the stash that Peaches knew about, but Franklin should have also had a secret secret stash that no one else knew about.
It is amazing how often character overrules circumstances. In the end, it happened on this show just as it does in life. Franklin's ego wouldn't allow him to take the L and leverage the few million he could have made for the sale of that money pit commercial building. Franklin could have combined that with the money he already had on hand, and he and Veronique would have been set damn near for life. A few million dollars is a good nestegg even today, but it was outright wealth 30 years ago.
In the end, I didn't blame a Veronique one bit for what she had to do. Franklin was going downhill fast, and if she stayed, she and their baby would have hit rock bottom with him.
This is a nasty ending franklin deserved that money
The realistic ending would have had Franklin get killed by the CIA to coverup their involvement in the crack epidemic so in a way this was the best outcome for Franklin. People are forgetting that over the last few seasons we slowly saw Franklin become unhinged because of the money and typically things never end well for those types of people. If he had gotten his money from Teddy no good would have come from it because it was already too late, Franklin had crossed the point of no return with his actions. Whether Teddy lived or died he was never going to win as much as most fans would have rather seen. Even Leon, who was the closest thing to a voice of reason along with Cissy, couldn't reach him. About the only thing I feel was unresolved was seeing the demise of Louie. Her actions directly impacted the demise of Jerome, Franklin, and Cissy. Leaving her on the run from the DEA was just not a satisfying end to her as there was no final resolution. It's implied she eventually will get caught.
Freeway Rick Ross didn't die or get killed by the CIA. Naw, just let Franklin live, lose everything and become a mumbling, stumbling, bumbling alcoholic who no one would believe.
@@IceManLikeGervin Freeway Ricky is just ONE story that didn't end in tragedy. There's countless others that weren't so lucky back then.
@@akiraxtreme I agree with you but but this Snowfall tv series, Franklin Saint, is based in large part on Freeway Rick.
@IceManLikeGervin Y'all do realize Freeway already tried to sue Singleton before he died and been claiming this show was loosely based on his life. We all know that's true but I been knowing that for legal reasons they'd never have Franklin end how Rick's story turned out by goin to prison and rehabilitating.
The ending was realistic! The cia don’t give af about Franklin because Nobody would believe him. Just like nobody will believe his mother ! This really happen in real life for years cia covered it up until they admitted it themselves. But yes Louie ending was disappointing.
One of the best shows ever to grace our screens...Franklin Saint will go down with Walter White as perhaps the greatest anti-heros ever...I'm sad to see the show end and thank the actors and producers for the years of great entertainment
This storytelling is incredible, a man who was once stressed about 73 million by the end of everything was happy to see just 20 dollars
What’s amazing about this ending was that it’s real. It’s either death, incarceration or dying alive. None of this leads to anything good. The “moment” of possible success is detrimental if one doesn’t know when to walk away and find another path but we as people are prideful, greedy, and even malicious when our desire is within reach but is being leashed and tugged away from us. I love how this show didn’t give us what we wanted for Franklin. It gave us what we needed. A reality check to all the smog that social media and our current times have made drugs and violence seem to be. It’s a warning to anyone outside, still in it or trying to claw their way out. Godspeed to all of you.
Franklin's fate was worse than death. Just like Vic Mackey in The Shield, he ended as the very thing he never wanted to be.
One of the best written drama show..... 💯
You broke down the ending so eloquently , I'll be linking this video to people who said the ending was "bad"
Leon ended being the son Cissy never had
Teddy, Jerome, and Franklin were the 3 best characters and the first two died while Franklin had a fate worse than death. Not the ending I was pulling for...but it was real and it was perfect
Don’t forget Oso !!!! Probably the PUREST HEART IN THE SHOW. He only killed with passion and emotion when it was over something profound. He was content to be happy with the woman he loved before they hit the big time. Oso was also VERY LOYAL TO HIS PEOPLE. Never had to worry about him turning on you unless you betrayed him FIRST. A great man to keep things 💯with.
Hmmm, Episodes 9, was correct Cissy Sacrifice Franklin and next generation for revenge, she could not hold it until transfer was done, she had time to kill Teddy, if she was about protecting Franklin, Leon and the unborn child. She made it about her....that what most parent (in separation) do when they cant put the children first, the hate they have for the ex take over what is suppose to be done for the Kid....😅😉As she said "you are with me or Them, Saint "my guess she consider him with Them
Cissy saved Franklin. Teddy wasn't going to just go away...he would have had Franklin killed. We have no real idea if Teddy was really going to move the money into Franklin's account either.
@@IceManLikeGervin Perception is a killer, at what point she saved him from where he is now, she was consumed by revenge she put herself first, she should have waited once transfer done at list to show it was not about her and if the transfer was fake good...🤨🤫
@@IceManLikeGervin And regarding the transfer it was in an escrow account if you got this you would have understood once money is transfer Teddy cant get it back...even CIA or DEA is that simple. Just like now the money will remain in the banking system and they will make interest on it for years ☹😟😎🥸
@@IceManLikeGervin no please watched ep 9 again they actually set the transfer and the escrow account in name of Franklin once password was given transfer was made,,,,you can google how escrow account work once it was transfer no way for Teddy to get it back ...then once that done she should have killed him.... the killing was not the objection there...the fact she did not waited prove it was not to save franklin but to satisfy her revenge....she was consumme by it just as she mention in episodes 9 she just needed to know if franklin was still on her side or not...making her not care for him anymore.
@@IceManLikeGervin why not kill after the exchange?
Franklin represented what drug dealers did to our community. His ending was fitting
Man the ending was depressing and made me crack a tear. I didn’t want any of that for Franklin, despite his hunger for money and power.
The ending was the most poetic in TV history
I preferred it to Breaking bad, better call Saul and Sopranos. kinda similar to the wire. We saw the bad guys win in Ozarks. which could have been teddy!
The 12 thousand he found at peaches...i think its the same amount he first made with avi
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST POETIC!!
Greed, Narcissism, loyalty, betrayal, compassion and empahy, etc… this show hit every emotion right on the nail. Its a modern version of “The Wire” tho the wire was ahead of its time. This is something the ppl needed
Leon calling for franklin in the end left me a empty hole in my chest 😢
I just finished the last episode a moment ago. Man.. Tough ending
@@deejones8552just finished
Valuable lesson don’t be greedy
,do right by people ,have multiple streams of income & never keep your money in one place.
That song by Kendric Lamar at the end was nice
@@feilongish it was
Bro I took to not get too attached. I mean he started from 0 and built himself but couldn’t handle going back there and I get that because not a lot of people can. Chasing his retirement package broke him.
@@mayeezy254 in all honesty all he needed was like 250k and he could have got a job or opened up a cleaning and live in peace
Last but not least DO NOT TRUST BITCHES
People keep trying to justify Cissy SMH 🤨🤔🤫, She was consume by REVENGE just like she stated in ep 9, once Franklin chose the money over her she did not care (JUST LIKE SHE SAID "ARE YOU WITH ME SAINT OR THEM") about him , V or the unborn baby she seem to be so keen to protect from teddy. We agree on killing teddy but spare me her sacrifice, Because she sacrifice her family for REVENGE just like Franklin sacrifice everything for that MONEY. She is no victim or hero, if she was she would have waited, and please those saying the transaction would not took place please check HOW escrow account work, we are not talking about standard bank account system with bank transfer limitation control by government. They are bank facility for the poor and bank facility for the rich, they even give you how to save money from tax, prevent the government to have access to money through loophole etc... if you learn nothing learn this even CIA could not take the money from teddy that why they ask him to transfer the cash to have his badge back. So please if you want to go over the money things go on facts...because you sound silly...its all fun but please learn from it...🤑🙃
SO FREAKING TRUE
Exactly 💯💯💯💯
I fkn hate Cissy for how she handled everything. She played that role so well, that I’ll hate her in anything she’ll come out with after Snowfall.. just like Penelope Cruz from the movie “Blow”.. those two are dead to me 😂
This shit hits home. I used to have so much pape off the weed and pills and all the above. Not like Franky lol but east 20-30k at least a month and now I'm recovering from addiction and man it's crazy being dopensick and broke and just be so happy to have some cigs and some weed now lmao that's how the game does ya tho. All the stress and ptsd robberies shootings all the above it weighs on u and u end up self medicating or something cuz ur sondown from being broke and all thr above and just the complete flip of life. Shit wicked
Epic!! Hes a very great excellent actor. Hes better than some of these overrated actors🤔 I would love seeing him act in more movies also his mom too is a great actor. Superb series 👏
The finale was sad and brilliant at the same time
At first, I thought Franklin was gonna buy a bag of drugs from a dealer with the $20 😂
I just wanted Franklin to win man, I just wanted him to be great🧎🏾♂️
Not realistic. But I feel you though.
Exactly … they couldve put him in the pin instead of making him a drunk 😭
@@tatianahawkins6444 yeaaa😂😂😂💯but I went to rewatch the first ever episode and it was the scene where Mel was in the liquor store with him and started asking him why he doesn’t drink and a lot of stuff and it all foreshadowed to this last part…they ain’t have to make him look that dirty tho😭💯
Yes i thought he got on crack 😭
Crazy that Franklin was going to walk away when Louie went behind his back to Teddy.
I'm going to miss Snowfalls great show much ❤ to everyone who played on there
What an ending man. This show was a master class of acting
Growing up in NYC Everyone knowns that one washed out guy or gal in the neighborhood that was once considered “The Man” or So beautiful and envied …..the one that took the wrong path, that made irreversible choices….this reminds me of those ppl ….. I see all the similar things the constant joking and self medicating to cope with the past ….how that person goes from being so strong and powerful to begging in front of a liquor store …..that right there is the coldest truth to become what you fear and hate the most…. I think about it when I see those type of people in the street….. how’d they fall so hard?…this ep. Made me think of them
That was really well put. Great job!
Excellent way to summarize the ending. I grew up in a neighborhood just like this and I knew many people in the drug game in the 80s and just about 98% of them had lives that ended up just like Franklin. So as much as people may have wanted Franklin to prosper at the end or had an ending that was better than this one the reality is it would not have been true to the reality of the time nor would it have been true to how John Singleton's style
Dude... I knew he was too gone to get a good end... But I figured death would be the way it ended... Ending up like his father is a fate worse than Death. Thats horribly sad. Even Teddy got an easier out than he deserved. So glad Oso, Leon and Wanda got out and got on with their lives now.
