FX’s Snowfall, which returns for its fourth season on Wednesday, Feb. 24, is a slow-burn of a television series. It’s quality television, but it’s a show that takes its time to build. That’s not even trying to say that the first season of the series is wack—it’s better than most of the series being discussed on the timeline—but for those of you who might be too used to binging a series in a day, Snowfall takes its time. I remember hearing from a few heads in the know that Snowfall was that show, and I’d not tapped in until this scene from Season 3 spread like wildfire. In it, Franklin (played by the 29-year-old British actor Damson Idris), an intelligent young man who helped spread crack cocaine to the streets, checks his lifelong friend Leon (Isaiah John) during a car ride. It is a moment full of intensity wrapped in a wise message about checking yourself that made me decide, that day, to get my Snowfall catch-up on. Yes, I just admitted I was late, but during a conversation with Idris via Zoom, that seemed to be quite normal for this show.
