Hello fellow fans,

I just finished Snowfall today and I gotta say the series wasn't too bad especially when you can binge watch it LOL! Now I read other peoples opinions towards the end online which seemed to be split on whether Franklin deserved the ending he received or not, as for me I happen to be split on the matter. When it came to the other characters I felt that each one had a fitting ending depending on the part they had to play in all this. Theeen there's Franklin...

A major part of me believes Franklin got what was coming to him for the damage he had done to the community and those close to him, but I can't seem to agree with how he should suffer. Franklin's sins were due to his unwillingness to let go of his pride and greed from his exposure to the vast amount of money he was generating from distributing drugs. Yes Franklin had a big part to play in most of tragedies that happened around him however he did have some redeeming qualities to some-what balance the scales of his character. Anywho why did I recap pretty much everything we already knew? Well I know there are going to be comments going over the damages that Franklin had caused trying to point out what was shown on the show and yes I already know this but it doesn't change my opinion as of yet. What I'm getting at is that everyone involved in the crack pandemic got what they deserved and there are those who deserved worse like Teddy. But for Franklin to lose everything down to his childhood home? That there I have a hard time getting on page with. I believe Cissy should've allowed Franklin to get his 37 Million then kill Teddy after the transfer was complete instead of leaving Franklin in ruins under guise of her doing what was best for him. Instead she killed her son's only chance to stay afloat leaving him with nothing at the end. I get her worry that Franklin may try to turn back to doing the CIAs street bidding but I doubt that was ever going to happen after the fallout between Franklin and Teddy.

Plus that 37 Mil was more than enough to keep their legitimate buisness running to where they'd never have to turn to the streets ever again. Hell she could've signed her part of the company over to him to do as he wished since had was pretty much left with nothing. Her sons obsession with money may have been toxic but how is him losing everything just to find himself wandering the streets of LA as a alcoholic any better or best for him? I get how its poetic since Alton his father became a homeless alcoholic but he still had family and people to turn to as for Franklin? Thats not the case for him. Franklin losing his reserves of money, pent house, plane, Jerome, his bond with Louie, mother, wife, unborn child and any other close ties was enough punishment as is. The way I see it Franklin should've made off with whatever money he had left to live out the rest of his life perhaps starting all over again in his childhood home either selling his legitimate real estate business to start fresh elsewhere small like taking on Jeromes old business in honor of his uncle to keep his memory alive or try to back into college leaving room for hope that he finally broke away from partaking in any other illegal activities but still lost everything else from what I've already listed above then some.

I felt his ending was fitting but on one hand but on the other hand wasn't. Yeah there's the whole message of you reap what you sow and crime never pays but DAMN! Lol sorry for my rant just felt as though I wanted to share this input.
