It was 37 million..teddy brokered a split. and she was a fool because Franklin and them were dead in any case...they knew too much and were a loose end. They got the CIA and KGB on their ass. They are smack dab in the middle of a geo-political shitstorm of the worst sort! Aint no walking away from that.

If he could have gotten his 30 million it would have given them SOME kind of chance. Put it this way I'd rather have MILLIONS of dollars to hide and fight than be buck nekkid on the street with rogue elements of the CIA and KGB lookin for my ass!

yes. the loot was going to be two way split, corrected. still...that's ~100M USD 2023. not letting them walk with that.

this last season took place around 1986. the whole central american plot is unraveling under regan's watch and oliver north is taking the stand in 1987. no way loose ends weren't going to be tied up. nowhere in the world to hide. 30 million or no. it would have bought them some time, but not long time.

reminds me a bit of the end of 'casino'. once the bosses were getting called out, everyone under was going down, regardless

Man this is the worst finale I've ever seen. You would think this was a Tyler Perry production.

Speaking of Tyler Perry, I actually thought that this show would have ended like the last scene of The Haves and The Have Nots where literally everybody died and in spectacular fashion
 
I loved it… I see the parallels to the ending of The Wire when Michael became Omar and Dukie became Bubbles.
V became Cissy with a baby boy she was going to raise right and Franklin you guessed it became Alton.

The acting was superb and a great ending to a special series. Frank was the walking living dead.
 
This was the best ending ever. The rise and fall of franklin is very relatable since their are a lot franklins like that in real life.

Cissy gave franklin the cold shoulder and silence every time he was angry to try to get money anyway that he could.

leon was smart to get out and get his education to make a change for his neighborhood.

Franklin had it all but lost it all and became a bum like his father being an alcoholic.

ehh at the ending, but there were a lot of parallels to real life, especially here in los angeles
that newspaper under leon's feet in 1987...you could see that things were falling apart, government was on to other things and central america was in the rear view...ghetto be damned

at least the peaches loose end was cleaned up. foul what happened to the locksmith.

franklin rose, and fell. the series comes full circle. la before crack, la during, la after. hellhole. ashes to ashes, dust to dust. it was not fun to live here [or any other major us city] then. an entire generation hollowed out.

just like franklin.

Ruben was screaming like he got turned over to the Devil himself
Crazy how Franklin was basically running around begging like one of the crack heads he created
All the things Veronique and her mother said Franklin should have know what she was going to do.

This series had some of the most great,intense and unflinching performances i have ever seen
The late great John Singleton crafted a series that was a joy,pleasure and painful to watch sometimes i got all three at the same time.
It was a mixture of terrible truths,and fictional and memorable characters caught up in them,that made me think of what i read and and watched over the years about the drug pandemics and the CIA's involvement.
A haunting and somber ending. Singleton would be proud
 
i hate he went out like that.. not sure if I'm onboard with that.. great acting though

why are they doing a Leon show...they should be doing a Louie show..

she's the one that actually became a drug king pin in real life
 
Streaming services are a gift and a curse.

They allow you have to fun things like "Power Rangers Once and Always" or give platforms/new life to old sitcoms that would otherwise be collecting dust somewhere in a Hollywood warehouse.

But then you end up with the constant spin-offs and needs for a "universe".

In my opinion, this show doesn't need to spin off, that final scene of Franklin and Leon should be the end of the story, it was John's style of storytelling, no need to continue it. We never got Boyz-in-the-Hood 2 and we don't need it. If you did it for "For John" then this is the end of the Snowfall storyline.

Man! What can I say. Truly heartbreaking end to a great story. Franklin let his pride for money get the best of him. I get it. It’s hard to let it go once you’ve attained it at one point, but damn, his decent into madness was gradual and painful. All he had left in the end was the bottle in his hand.

When he told Leon that he didn’t have any chains on him and that he was free was a real thug tear moment. Got a little dusty. And for him to say that as they were about to take his crib.

Franklin finally seemed to accept his fate. He literally lost it all. Veronique did the right thing as much as I hate to say it. His mom and her both seen the path he was on and it wasn’t any turning back. He was truly lost in his own demise. She took the kid and got the fuck outta there.

Louie on the run was fitting because she was just as greedy, if not more, than Franklin. Jerome tried to get her out the game, but she had this chip on her shoulder to prove she could run with the big boys. She’s the honest reason Jerome is dead, not Franklin. Now, she has to run for the rest of her life. You ran full speed for the respect, now you gotta run away for your life. The game is the game.

Cissy lost her husband, son, brother and now her freedom. She did Franklin one last favor no matter how much we may not agree with it, she looked out for her son. It’s just sad that he couldn’t see that. He was free at that moment. All he had to do was sell the properties and take his family away from there. But, being that the greed had him by the balls, he didn’t see it that way.

At the end of the day, this was the most satisfying outcome for a show like this. We always get a death, jail or some bullshit outcome that doesn’t make a lick of sense. This put everyone where they belonged in line with their character and choices. It had to end this way.

I don't think Franklin will appear in the spinoff, sorta like Walter White from Breaking Bad didn't really appear in Better Call Saul storyline.

The storyline has to be separate and apart from Snowfall, otherwise it will be terrible. All the main players from Snowfall are done for so it's like beating a dead horse if they were to try to continue any of their storylines.
 
Leon realized Franklin used him without his knowledge to get a drink. He realized Franklin was completely and utterly "addicted" to alcohol and became the very thing they created ..addicts. Then Leon was there to actually see Franklin lose that very last thing he had, his home. Just so happen to be there at that moment and that Franklin was okay with it, he accepted it probably because he knew he deserved that sentence. He still was blaming everybody else. His mom, his wife. Franklin deserved that shit, a life worse than death. He was in living hell.
