Created by John Singleton, Eric Amadio, and Dave Andron, Snowfall is set in the 1980s in Los Angeles and revolves around the first crack epidemic, showing how it affected the culture of the city through stories of several characters. The cast of the series includes Damson Idris, Carter Hudson, Emily Rios, Sergio Peris-Mencheta and Michael Hyatt.
While Snowfall didn’t manage to get glowing reviews from the critics, it still attracted respectable ratings for FX, averaging close to one million viewers in both seasons. It was network’s most watched summer program alongside Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans MC.
