What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly into it, and the story plus the 1990s Los Angeles rap-world premise are what keep them watching. The visuals and pacing get good notes too, but the story is the main reason the show works. The leads are the real split, with Gail Bean as Wanda Bell and Isaiah John as Leon Simmons not landing for everyone. Some viewers think Wanda feels underwritten and Leon is less convincing, and for a few the Snowfall connection hurts Malcolm Spellman. Mykelti Williamson as Big Daddy Kinsey is one of the few cast members who consistently wins people over.
