Snowfall: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic In Season 2, Snowfall no longer has to validate its characters' ambitions quite so much, and the show is more persuasive for it. Jul 23, 2018 Full Review Snowfall: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Kyle Fowle AV Club Exploring the price of success is one of the few threads in "Sightlines" that suggests season two can expand its story in a meaningful way. Rated: B Jul 20, 2018 Full Review Snowfall: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ben Travers indieWire Credit is shared between performer and creator. Andron, Amadio, and Singleton know what they're doing with Tucker, and their attention to what was missing in Season 1 makes the new episodes a marked improvement, if not a game-changing one. Rated: B Jul 20, 2018 Full Review Snowfall: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Alci Rengifo Entertainment Voice With the pieces falling into place, season two promises to be as good as the first, delivering a speedball of high octane television. Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Snowfall: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kayla Cobb Decider The first season of Snowfall was practically defined by the wilting aimlessness that drew each of the show's four main characters to the crack industry. But the snappier Season 2 is defined by ambition. Jul 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Foxy L What an amazing series! I am HOOKED! Do not miss this under-rated series, it just keeps on getting better and better. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Natnael B Better version of the first season. Nice story very intense excellent cast performances. it obligates u to binge it. Loved it👌 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Snowfall was not a true story, however it was entertaining to watch, and the 80's vibe was "dope" since I grew up in the 80's. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Vinny M Television at its peak. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/24 Full Review Dutch V It got better in the second season and continues to progress and get faster as this tv series goes on but season two is a 9.5/10 from me Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Jake H John Singleton's best since Boyz n The Hood, might be better. Great acting (Teddy and the CIA just take it to a whole nother level), insane story based on alleged real events about the CIA's covert funding of rebel groups to fight leftists in South America, through the sale of cocaine to burgeoning gangs in Compton. Which some believe started the crack epidemic and escalated the gang wars in LA... amazing production, A+++!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/21 Full Review Read all reviews
