FX's Best Hidden Gem Is a Crime Drama With Near-Perfect Scores on Both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes
Tired of The Wire and Criminal Record? We've got something truly special for you.
Fans of crime dramas surely know and love hits like True Detective, The Wire, The Vow and The Sopranos, but it's not always about the mainstream titles. Sometimes, you've got to dig deeper (and it's usually when all of the mainstream titles have been binged already...).
Worry not, we did the digging for you. If you think you've seen every single crime drama and are not yet ready to start police procedurals, try Snowfall — an unlikely FX crime drama with six seasons and near-perfect scores on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes — 8.4 and 92% respectively.
What Is Snowfall About?
Snowfall is a crime drama unfolding in the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles. It's not only tense and exciting to watch, but it also has that nostalgic vibe of the 1980s, even though it's not exactly Stranger Things.
The series introduces us to several characters, whose stories are bound to intertwine. We have a 20-year-old drug dealer Franklin Saint, Mexican luchador Gustavo "El Oso" Zapata and a crime boss's niece, Lucia Villanueva; as well a CIA operative Teddy McDonald, because of course.
The show would be a great next must-watch if you're still longing for more content like Netflix 's Griselda: from drug cartels to tense family drama, it has it all. Aside from "it all", Snowfall also has absolutely incredible neon posters.
