I don't understand why if Cissy don't fuck with Franklin anymore anyway, why would she sacrifice and throw her life away to so called protect him.
Franklin is ruined anyway so it would be better to be ruined with 37 mil than be ruined dead broke. So she really didn't save him from anything.
It seems to me she did it to spite Franklin for choosing the money over her, when she told him once he gets the money that will be the last time he will see her, and he agreed.
She could have waited until the money was transferred if she wanted to kill him.

nah frank with thirty plus milly, too many innocent people wouldve been going down with him....
You seen what he did to the locksmith... he was too junked out with money...
with that little bit of money he had in the safe, if had his soul back, he couldve easily flipped a couple
of birds he wouldve never been what he was, but he would at least be able to afford a roof over his head
and some clean clothes. I always hated how greedy street drug lords are..... the Hoods across america would be much different.
if muthafuckas just made their fifteen to twenty milly, then in five years move over and let the next team come up...
there was more than enough money to go around .. but the fuckin greed, snowfall did a great job displaying,
how that greed eats you up from the inside.... and leaves you a soulless shell.. All hoods in America
have their own version of Snowfall... See Alpo for New york Citys version...
Loved this series... but the ending of season four I think when he put down the cane and walked off without a limp..
on some keyser sosa shit.. that by far was the best season!!!
To step away from the finale for a minute.
Most of, if not damn near all of that cast was not from Los Angeles, and early in the series in interviews, Damson talked about having WC as a dialect coach while I'm not trying to take the shine off of Damson's skills as an actor, I want to highlight WC's work as a dialect coach. If you hear Damson in interviews, it's obvious that WC did a great job with him and did a great job with the rest of the cast.

Remember one important thing, Franklin was finished with the game for good. He was going to take his 70 mil, go legit and ride off into the sunset with V. At that moment he was clear headed, focused and precise.
He could have kept the downtown property, V would still be with him and once the baby was born he would have been even more focused.
The issues for Franklin didn't arise until he lost his money. As long as he had his money he was on point.
So if he would have had the 37 mil, his trajectory would have been in line with past seasons as far as business goes.
Good points, that was fucked up how the cia agent just TOOK all his shit... and thought nothing of it..
he really saw Franklyn as a piece of shit to be discarded....
ted agent was talkin about using the money for war,
but didnt he have plans to ride off into the sunset with the other agent....
btw was she cia or from some foreign intelligent agency... I thought frank wouldve
been able to move the money once he had the passcode which was in teds wallet the whole time...
ted was on some real fuckboy shit trying to lynch franklyn tho... he had to pay for that shit...
Again shes playing God.....who is to say Franklin couldnt get another come up some way then hunt her ass down for his kid.....I get the money was his crutch but if he got it back it was fuck everyone who fucked him......no one really helped him once he started to spiral.....she should of talked to him on how they was gonna move with the real estate.....but she didnt she wasnt 100% down she was down for the ride.....also Leon could of took him with him to Africa long ago not waiting til he starts to feel bad now he cant help him....Franklin failed everyone and everyone failed Franklin....and Louie and her low ass self esteem is to blame for this all
That wasn't the password in the wallet. That was the account number. He couldn't move the money until he had the password.
Yea Teddy was delusional. He tried to justify in his mind that taking Franklin's money was patriotic somehow and he was doing it for the country, when in actuality he was just as bad, if not worse than Franklin.
I think the lady Teddy was involved with was a nurse or something, not sure if she was some type of agent.
TV and its moral policing of stories with Black People in them. I'm tired of make-believe always telling us that we can never win no matter what. I feel like Franklin was young enough to be able to redeem himself if given a chance in some kind of way. Loen was able to redeem himself, why not Franklin? To be quite honest I know people that flipped the game into legitimate businesses as I'm sure some of you do as well. That's what I was hoping for and wanted to see.
We did see a black man make it as well as a black woman. Leon and Wanda made the right choice and was rewarded for it.
I was routing for Franklin in the early seasons too but I realized he was too far gone to make it out.
Finale was excellent. Idris is a star and I cant wait to see what else he does.
The way Franklin spiraled downward was crazy to see in that episode. Mans tried to take Leon's money with the same logic that Teddy used to take his.
The way they snuck in that Boyz N the Hood filming was a nice tribute to John Singleton.
Those bloodshot eyes and the way he said he was proud of Leon at the end was def a moment.
Overall dope series.

I agree, but the only problem with frank is that his ego got him fucked up...many people make it out and do things differently basically leon...maybe not the way leon did it, but still doing something to keep moving forward...and yes i have seen a few survive but most fall...shit frank chick even gave him a way out to sell some stuff.. his ego got in the way again... o well...some just never learn!
The ending had a nigga almost shedding real tears
God damn
But there were a few full circle moments
He paid $12k for his first brick, and $12k was all that was left for him in that safe
In the beginning he told Mel he wanted to be free from it all. I’m that last convo with Leon he said he was Free from it all
The store that he went into when he asked Leon for the money…that’s where he worked in season 1
…and of course he ended up just like his father

One question...who are they selling poison to?
Who are the making their money off of??
You guys act like they're selling crack to aliens or something.
They were/are destroying the black community and cats seem good with it
You did see it...Leon. but look at the cost.
There's also a lot of folks in prison or dead too. The show did what you asked. Some got out, some got killed, some got out at a higher cost. Sometimes the people you root for, loose.
But that's basically what the LSA chick said.
Re-read the quote.
I also like how they didn’t give us the “dead or in jail” ending for Franklin. I feel like that ending would’ve time-stamped Franklin’s life and he would’ve always been remembered as a king pin. It was realistic to watch him unravel due to his demons…. and he did it right in his own community. It allowed for everything to come full circle. And it’s even worse because there is literally nobody coming to save Franklin. The people that could’ve kept him sane are dead or in jail. Even Leon had the sense to leave and the best he can do for Franklin is put his ass in rehab… but he’s so far gone that he probably won’t be able to rebound fully. When people are “gone” like that, they’re pretty much gone.
u keep forgetting the CIA part tho
they would have murked his whole fam
now if they wasnt in the picture i would agree with u
Here's the full post in its entirety from LSA member "Hot Water"
Franklin had many opportunities to get out of the game but he didn’t want to stop. I will say that Teddy really fµcked him though. I would say Louie started this mess but, honestly, Teddy was going to end up betraying Franklin one way or another.
Franklin got way too greedy and lost his soul. Some of y’all say that Leon should’ve given him the money but ultimately that wasn’t going to help him. He needed to be cut off just like addicts need to be cut off. Franklin’s mind was gone and he was only going to destroy himself and others further. You could see that just by the lack of introspection and ability to pivot when he got desperate.
The only people that showed true intelligence and flexibility in the end were Leon, Wanda, and Skully. They accepted the reality of the situation, surrendered (in a sense), and made some real changes. They’re the only ones that truly remained free.

All in all.. I’m satisfied with the finale. Everyone acted their asses off. Awards need to be won
let me delete my post

Good ending as far as Franklin. I can think of a few hustlers that ended up just like him. He should get an award.
How'd his wife fuck up?
Franklin ended up the way he did because of his own greed. Dude still couldn't be cool with selling a stake in that new development and living comfortably off of rent from that South Central LA real estate.
Nigga really thought he was gonna skate away scot free with that $37 million.
The second Teddy healed up he was gonna go medieval on Saint and his family.
No Vaseline!!!

The CIA wasn't really fuckin with Franklin though. Teddy was the one that dealt with Franklin and the CIA was indifferent when it came to Franklin.
Franklin only knew about Teddy and was no real threat to the CIA. Even Teddy's CIA ex-wife told him to give the money back to Franklin.
in the beginning yes but remember who set up the meeting?
all of them were threats including teddy to the cia
his wife was thinking about the kids she was emotional
also to be real this happend in real life the didnt let freeway rick ross go
they murdered barry seal thats just top of my head list is long
garry webb dead
Yea I just don't think the CIA would have had a motive to kill Franklin.
If they thought he knew too much then they would have killed him anyway, even without the money.
Bruh, Saint poured hot crisco on this man's chest. Best believe Teddy was going to get PAYBACK and with Government assistance.
No way Saint goes off into the sunset with that money while Teddy's still alive.
Franklin was good as dead with that money. Everyone knew it but Franklin.
A lot of Snowfall fans really miss the point of who Teddy is and the power he has, Franklin would never get that money back soon as Teddy would have pulled off Franklns account would have been in the negative again and Teddy would come at him extra hard for torturing him Cissy Jerome and Leon were the only ones that seen the big picture you never win against the Feds or CIA
