''Franklin Saint is living with his mum and looking for a way to get on in life. He's already working as a small-time dealer, but he had a good education and he wants to do the right thing. After a chance meeting, Franklin senses an opportunity his mother wouldn't approve of, one that will change his life, and his city.
Teddy McDonald is a disgruntled CIA agent on a dead-end placement in Los Angeles. When someone walks into his office to tell him his colleague is dead, Teddy takes a huge risk that he hopes will rebuild both his reputation and his self-respect.
Gustavo 'El Oso' Zapata is a Mexican 'luchador' pro-wrestler, working small-time jobs on the side. After he does a dangerous job for Mexican cartel members Lucia Villanueva and Pedro Nava, they take him on full-time and let him in on their plans to build something of their own, away from the watchful eyes of their fathers.

Not seen all yet but enjoying it.
It would be easy to think it a boys n the hood cliche and write it off but it’s a lot more. Albeit I’ve not got to the end would recommend.
Did you notice the Boys In The Hood reference in the opening scene of the first episode? The blue VW Beetle cabrio parked up on the street as the camera panned down to Franklin's house. A nice touch.

Great series, can't wait for more.

Just finished this. Excellent final season and gripping throughout.
Also liked the meta-nod to John Singleton at the end "They're filming a movie" in SCLA.
If my memory serves me correctly, the very first scene of Snowfall opened with an aerial shot down a palm-tree lined LA street; I think the same shot was used to open the equally brilliant Boys In The Hood. Also, in the first or second series there is a blue Beetle Cabrio parked in the street; that too is a nod to Boys In The Hood. I think Tre or his dad Furious Styles drive one.Also liked the meta-nod to John Singleton at the end "They're filming a movie" in SCLA.
Snowfall has been unbeatable; I'm now about to start the last series and will happily go through it all again.
