The Legacy of 'Snowfall': A Tribute to John Singleton's Final Gift.
The final episode of John Singleton's Snowfall aired on Wednesday, bringing to a close a six-season run that told the story of Franklin Saint and the rise of crack cocaine in South Central Los Angeles. The show's unflinching and unapologetically Black storytelling sets it apart from other shows about drug dealers, and its commitment to telling a complete story is rare in television. Snowfall's finale sees Franklin become part of the same cycle of poverty and addiction he had sentenced so many others to, bringing the story full circle.
