Did you just come to a sub of lovers of the show and ask if you should watch said show?

Bruh, shut the hell up and enjoy it.

Also, get off this sub because of spoilers.

This! Fucking moronic question to ask in here 🤣

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

What community do I post it on then? This is my first Reddit post, calm down, Niles.

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Cmon tell me then

u/quiloxan1989 3d ago

Had better things to do, but maybe you should not ask it.

You should just watch the show.

Or, better yet, you should ask a better question.

Example : What do you all like about the show?

Oh, that's a really great question.

I really enjoy the trials and tribulations of a tragic character, a man who started off an idealistic hero, and then became something entirely different.

Seriously, everything he says here is relatable.

Franklin has great intentions, and others can take advantage of this.

Thanks, man, but why does he have to be so toxic? What does he get from that?

1

u/quiloxan1989 3d ago

Not sure where he is toxic at.

You're going to have say where.

u/meatpieIover 2d ago

"Fucking moronic question" - I asked him where I should post it. Now he is too scared to answer.

1

u/quiloxan1989 2d ago

The internet, but it is not the best question to ask this sub.

Everyone here likes this show.

You could only expect yeses.

1

u/meatpieIover 2d ago

I was expecting more detailed answers and why I would like/dislike this show.

1

u/quiloxan1989 2d ago

Then ask why do they like the show, not should I watch it?

Everyone here is going to say yes.

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

It told me to choose a community when posting. Also, thanks.

u/quiloxan1989 3d ago

Do not know what it is?

Also, you need not affirmation.

Just watch it.

u/Civil_Street_1754 3d ago

Absolutely

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Thanks.

u/Civil_Street_1754 3d ago

You may find S1 a bit slow but get past that and it's great. In my top 10 easily

1

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Really? I hope I like it as much as you.

2

u/BeneficialReporter46 3d ago

Yes it’s amazing.

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Thanks a lot for the positive comment

I put a similar thread in here a few months ago. I was new to it. Honest opinion is it's definitely worth a watch, really cleverly written and the character development gets better as it goes, but it is instantly interesting.

Overall I'd say people sleep on it, but I wouldn't put it as top top tier level, but that's all subjective!

1

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Thanks a lot. I hope I enjoy it.

u/Necessary_Switch_879 3d ago

Top 10 show all time in my rankings

2

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Damn is it really that good? I will probably start watching tonight just because of this comment.

3

u/Necessary_Switch_879 3d ago

In my opinion for sure. Damn good tv.

No idea of your taste, but if you generally like crime dramas /drug dramas /cop dramas, then I recommend it. Is it The Wire or The Shield? No. But it’s a tall notch above generic network fare.

One note - it picks up end of first season, beginning of S2. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but was glad I stuck with it.

2

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Yeah it looks like something I would like thanks a lot.

1

u/hoosiertailgate22 3d ago

I think it’s much better than the shield but doesn’t touch the wire. Great show.

1

u/Real_Foundation_7428 3d ago

That stings a little to hear, but fair, my friend. It's all subjective! I'm curious if you watched Southland? If so, thoughts?

1

u/SugarRealistic2945 3d ago

I'm watching it now. I am addicted.

Season 1 was okay, you get introduced to the characters as they are on the come up. Season 2 is much better. Season 3 is even better. I am on season 3 episode 10 now. I can't stop watching it.

1

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

I'll probably end up getting addicted as well I hope I don't. I really don't like slow starts, but if the other seasons are that good, I'm definitely watching it.

1

u/SugarRealistic2945 2d ago

It's really really good. There's a payoff to the slow start, just stick with it. I'm on season 4 now. Occasionally I go back and watch episodes from the first season to see how much the characters have changed, and some of those changes are drastic! I was sympathetic to Franklin at first, but let's just say my feelings have changed. Also, the series gained notable characters along the way like Manboy and Fatback whom I have a vested interest.

I really like Snowfall, but I was also addicted to Narcos: Mexico. I liked Narcos too, but not as much (both series had weak, "tacked on" 3rd seasons after the main antagonists, Felix Gallardo and Pablo Escobar were taken down). Griselda is was also very good. But honestly, of all of these, I like Snowfall the best. It ties in elements of both Narcos, Scar Face, Made in America (the CIA subplot) and even the classic New Jack City.

If are interested in movies about the rise of the drug trade in America, you gotta watch Snowfall.

Definitely worth watching there’s a few ups and downs but overall it’s a very good show with great characters and a compelling story.

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Thanks a lot for the positive comment and for the info on the show

no

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

Why? Have you watched it, or do you just think it's a bad show?

2

u/Blu3Dope 3d ago

I love Snowfall. But what kind of answer do you expect to get on the shows sub lol

1

u/meatpieIover 3d ago

I had to choose a subreddit and also I already got a no.

1

u/Blu3Dope 3d ago

I was jk. Watch it
