Snowfall's gripping plot is failed by its sketchy character developments
Filipe Valle Costa, who plays the role of Pedro Nava in John Singleton's drama 'Snowfall' about crack-cocaine epidemic in 80s LA, pretty much sums up the FX series in exclusive interview with Meaww, when he said: "Pedro is very much an example of those families who have the ability to make the drug move through the city. Through the connection that they already have. So Pedro is really going against the will of his father, and going into the world of cocaine and crack cocaine, and you know, I think he is one of those young people who is not fully aware of what they are doing, what they were getting into, this new drug and they didn't know how it will affect people's lives. But that's the reality."
And the reality had struck hard not just Los Angeles, but San Diego, Houston and the Caribbean during the late 70s and 80s when crack-cocaine became the everyday fantasy of the American youth.
