Damn near EVERYBODY green when they first jump off the porch baby girl lol 🤷🏾‍♂️😂 NOBODY steps into the game a seasoned hustla unless you grew up actually in the game like your Dad was Big Meech or your Mom was Griselda Blanco or some shit lmmfao 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂 The game is trial and error and EVERYBODY is gonna make mistakes you hip, but the best and smartest hustlas learn from those mistakes FAST or learn from the mistakes they partnas make FAST and make the proper adjustments so the bullshit doesn’t happen again or stays at a minimum feel me.. Snowfall wouldn’t have been believable to real streets nixxas if Franklin would’ve been seasoned and a top notch hustla from the jump in season 1… He had to, as we say in Detroit, Go Through It To Get To It… And now 5 seasons later he wayyyyyy more seasoned but at the same time he STILL making mistakes… smh 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ And THATS how real life is and that’s why Snowfall is one of the best shows of all time… 😂💪🏾🔥 Peace and blessings Sista..😉🤝💪🏾💯💯💯

Now, here we are. Full circle. Franklin turned to the bottle and became the person he didn’t want to turn out like in Alton. And has the mindset that he’s free of chains and is free from it all. His own man just like Alton mentioned for his own situation as a hobo.

I think one things that’s overlooked a lot is the blue ragtop bug in the opening scene. I’d like to think it’s singletons way of paying tribute to boyz in the hood. In a way, Franklin, Leon, and Kevin are like the trio of Trey, Doughboy, and Rocky.

I recently rewatched this season a few days after watching Boyz N The Hood and I noticed something that couldn't have been a coincidence. During the opening scene of the pilot episode, I noticed "Trey's" car parked on the street while the kids are running...superb easter egg John. R.I.P

I really appreciated how you broke down the straps on Franklin's right and left shoulders, regarding his backpack. I also noticed that by having a greenback, it probably serves as a symbol of the color of money. Furthermore, it's a prelude to all of the stress and strife that comes with all of the blood money in further seasons to come.

The Rubicon is what Julius Caesar crossed when he became emperor. It also pitted him against the Roman Senate and led to his death. It is probably foreshadowing for what is in store for Franklin. He becomes the guy, but ultimately dies because of his quest for power.

​@@JamaalNoland- It's not trying to. Talking about two shows with completely different Dynamics and completely different narratives. SNOWFALL is a period drama about how the United States government funded and funneled cocaine through blacks, the mexican drug cartel and around Police into the inner cities of America to finance International shadow business and support the Contra War. THE WIRE is an examination of the systematic manipulation and destruction of all corners of the American dream involving family, education, politics, finance and real estate. This procedural drama centers around the two forces on the hamster wheel of modern day society: Police saddled with the task of enforcing America's drug war and the professional Criminals on the other side of the law.
