Ile-Ife Okantah, of Vulture, writes:
The tantalizing world of drugs, money, and violence is the obvious attraction of series about crime lords, but it’s the character development and psychological analysis of these larger-than-life gangsters that makes good television. It’s the therapy sessions in The Sopranos or the final confession of egotism from Walter White that turns a show about crime into something so much more. Snowfall has had these moments since season one as we saw Franklin grow before our eyes, transforming from a neighborhood kid into a drug kingpin. Beyond that, the political and racial themes supersede the culture of drugs and gang life, painting a holistic picture of American history from a perspective we don’t always see.
Through the lives of Franklin and his network of friends and family, Snowfall masterfully presents a world where people are born into a system that requires them to kill or be killed. To survive as a Black person in South Central Los Angeles (across the whole country, really), you only have two options: comply with a system designed to oppress you or spend your life fighting it. The psychological turmoil that comes with this predicament is especially unique to the descendants of enslaved Africans and is often exacerbated by the drastic choices people make to feel whole. While this episode wasn’t as explosive as the beginning of season six, it explores how each character is coping with the realization that no matter what, they may never truly escape this wicked system.
As Walter White claimed before his series-finale confession that his metamorphosis into Heisenberg was purely self-motivated, Franklin insists that all his actions are altruistic, stemming from a desire to uplift his family. As he tells his mother, what he’s doing could “change the fate and fortune of this bloodline for generations.” Now that he has a large target on his back, he’s frantic to get his money back and ensure his loved ones are safe. He starts with his mom, visiting her at the shelter to try to convince her to flee again to protect her from his enemies. She outright refuses; for Cissy, her solution to making herself whole within this system is to help repair the inevitable damage. Franklin doesn’t understand why she feels guilty for benefiting from the lifestyle he provided and throws in her face how he took her from being a landlord’s lackey to having the world at her fingertips. What Franklin fails to understand is that to Cissy, this life of violence and drugs isn’t better than where they started.
Tunnel vision prevents Franklin from having the nuanced and empathetic view that his mother has. Instead, he’s willing to get his money back by any means necessary. Franklin will always choose to kill instead of being killed, and the mother of his child happens to be the same, a trait she learned from her own mother. Cassandra and Veronique embark on the next phase of Franklin’s plan to get Teddy to wire the money back to his account. The three of them make a trip to Kansas City, where Teddy’s father, Jack, is living at a retirement facility.
