About
You’ll likely enjoy Snowfall if you want a gritty crime drama set in the 80s with realistic tension and strong performances; Not for you if you want a lighter, more straightforward crime story like Justified or Narcos: Mexico.
Pros: gritty realism; engrossing era; strong cast | Cons: uneven pacing; divisive characters; some slow start
