So glad Wanda survived. It's nice to see an addict have a full recovery - even in a work of fiction. It happens in real life and I have so much respect for the people I know who've overcome that horrible condition.
Louie was definitely the greatest contributor to the downfall of the family. She was greedy and willing to sacrifice relationships and people for the $$$

Thanks Leon for saving her 😅One of the best things in snowfall was Wanda’s transition in the drug game, from helping to a, user, to reformed. The show needed a main character that you could examine the impact on their family/ life/ community/ work before an after they stopped the drugs. The scene when she went to her grandmas after Ghana was great
I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed a cast interview this much in a long time. Both fantastic actors and very introspective people. Dope to see people involved in the show actually invested in the cultural significance & real world impact of the subject matter.
Long live John Singleton and these two acted their tails off in this sereies! This is a legendary show. I hope we get a Wanda and Leon spinoff too!
Snowfall really is a beautiful show from front to back. I just got done watching the final episode and I’m so mad it’s over that I feel like restarting the whole thing from season one again. Definitely always gonna be in my top 3 favorite tv shows of all time. RIP John Singleton

Authenticity is what makes this show one of the best on tv, not the violence, not the killings, none of the ridiculousness. Even stepping out of the environment into a world where there’s a possibility of living a normal life like them going to Ghana is what made it more real than ever. Creativity is everything and Snowfall is top tier in that league.

I agree with you. You get to see the human element of each character. Not just the bad that they're doing or bad that they're going through but you get to see that they're human like anybody else, they love, they hurt, they feel pain, they make mistakes, they make bad choices, they make good choices, the money doesn't override that human Spirit of them that still comes out. The Good, the bad and the ugly. Like in real life, real people. I love that about the show.

That scene where Franklin wakes up in the ice bath and Jerome is walking up on Skullys place after it was shot up by Manboy and his crew with Strange Fruit is playing is one of the greatest scenes in television history
I absolutely love these 2 and their characters. It was nice to see that Wanda was saved. Gail Bean played the hell out of Wanda!! There is life after addiction. I hope they show her reaching back to help others they should also include Melody and her recovery, reaching back. We all know folks that was out there and today have made a better life for themselves. Those victories should be shown.
Last night episode was fire!

They have real chemistry
Spin off: Leon helps Franklin get his life back on track. Franklin becomes a legit leading real estate professional, taking over Los Angeles by storm. Working against gentrification and rescuing our black neighborhoods. Helping get people addicted to drugs off the streets by any means necessary with Leon and Wanda by his side.

17:48 Gail Bean is a real one, very intelligent. They were on the verge of getting into old beef w/ the show and Freeway Rick, and she swerved on them. This is a lot of folks story… “I know the Wanda in my life”… that’s real. Not too many people can hold an intelligent convo and avoid filler words like “uhmm”.
Wanda did a 180% change, not a 360. Excellent turn around
Great interview and amazing cast members to an equally amazing show. Can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Thank u leon for playing a loyal part u do it well brother love u both
The end was unexpected and awesome Snowfall was my favorite show from episode 1. I got so many people to watch
From Canada and forreal ..After Listening to Snowfall now I'm the addict ... I been listening to this show for 5days straight I just finished Season 6 episode 8 ... That show is crazy!!!!
Leon and Wanda are the best!!
They so right....i binged it during the pandemic after my brother introduced me to it.
They definitely have chemistry ..
Soft White Underbelly is a special youtube channel. Shout out to Mark Laita for that gem and sharing stories. It means a lot for "Wanda" to mention how that channel schooled her for her role 👏🏾
Great job guys. Snowfall was phenomenal! Bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hoping for a good ending for Leon and Wanda! Big hug! Great cast! Great Show! Praying you guys continue to stay booked and busy!!! Much love!!!
Yea love how they are with each other much respect
Damn she pretty ❤

Love Leon’s character
wandas character development was the biggest surprise for me. went from basically laughing at her, to crying for her and rooting her on.
The last episode of Snowfall 😢Omg I cried real tears!!🫶🏽
wow, love that they went to GHANA!!!!!
My way of getting into the show is, over the past few weeks and over the duration of the show, I’ve seen an incredible amount of hype and virtually no negative reviews, so I decided to watch season 1-5 recap and binged season 6 Ep 1-8 and I can say this is one of my fav shows ever and I’m SO glad that I waited so long bc now I can go back and watch season 1-5 and it’ll hit like I’ve never seen it, but also I’ve been SO SO captivated by this season. And it felt like everything still had immense weight even tho I only caught up via recaps. We smokin TEDDY PACK OUT THE BWCKWOOD! Rest in PEE nigga!
I love them both
It's mad I couldn't get into the show like a year ago or some months back. But then decided to watch it again and then I was hooked and binge watched it. I can really tell a lot of research went into the writing and the actors are beyond excellent. I was emotionally invested the whole time and felt so sad at the ending. This is getting close to the wire territory!
Gail killed it as Wanda, Soft White Underbelly got her into character, perfectly.
Y’all both embody some of the realest people in are community💯 all scars on the front but they make y’all beautiful
