Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

What makes a good show a great show? This is what John Singleton had to answer after the first season of Snowfall. The writing was exceptional but the characters brought everything to life. It’s a show based on drugs, murders, and deceit and yet, viewers are glued to the TV as if none of that is bad. It’s intriguing, entertaining and due to the acting, we find ourselves engrossed with the cast.

When breaking down the Snowfall, you can’t do so without choosing which characters you picked as your favorites. Is it Franklin Saint, his wild uncle Jerome or even the untrustworthy Teddy McDonald? Somewhere in there, we all have a favorite. Here are the top 10 characters on Snowfall.

10 Andre

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

Despite his death, Andre’s presence on Snowfall set the tone of the show from the beginning. With Andre being a cop and Franklin’s next-door neighbor, they were bound to cross paths. A black cop living in a black neighborhood where the crack epidemic first hit had to be a handful for the straight and narrow Andre. And that alone is what made the Franklin and Andre dynamic must-see TV.

Nevermind the sexual connection Franklin shared with Mel. Andre had to live with that. But what he couldn’t turn his back on was the fall of his neighborhood. The showdown was bound to happen but for Franklin to kill Andre, that was far beyond anything I envisioned.

9 Cissy

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

Cissy was not the most well-liked of the main characters when Snowfall started. She wanted what was best for her son and that meant either school or work. But Franklin had other plans and Cissy was not the least bit understanding. She kicked Franklin out and for a time, they weren’t even on speaking terms. But her attitude changed between Season 2 and Season 3.

With Franklin looking to clean his money (sort of), Cissy found herself unable to stop the moving train that was her son’s growing empire. Along with her husband, they helped Franklin acquire a few properties that made him look more legit. All the while, she still was able to maintain some discipline in her son’s life.

8 Manboy

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

Manboy is a tough one to call. Does he fully put himself behind Franklin? No. However, you can see his wheels turning as he tries to devise a plan to become King. Although things seem well between the two (most of the time), one has to believe that Manboy will make his move in Season 4.

With history on their side, there is some respect, but millions of dollars are on the line and with that, respect goes out the window. While Franklin is no Saint (pun intended), Manboy had grasped his role as the villain. One of these two will come out on top and while Franklin is the central character, Manboy should not be counted out.

7 Melody

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

Just like that, a promising future was derailed by the downfall of one’s decision. Can we totally blame Franklin or her father for what happened to her? Yes and no. Andre could not keep her away from every bad thing going on but he did smother her to an extent. All Mel wanted to do was to be a part of the community but that’s hard to do when your father is a member of the law.

After Franklin shunned her for her father’s involvement with his Uncle’s incarceration and beat down, Mel made a few errors. What seemed as harmless decisions quickly spiraled out of control and before she or anyone knew what happened, Mel was hooked on crack.

6 Jerome

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

Uncle Jerome is the soul of the show. He’s funny, not that smart but he serves a purpose. Can we really call him the muscle? No. How many times have we actually witnessed him put someone in their place? He taught Franklin the weed game but when Franking came to him regarding cocaine, Jerome was not with the original plan. However, he changed his tune and helped Franklin with day-to-day operations.

By stature alone, Jerome is a menacing figure. But once you get to know him, he’s the exact opposite. But still, don’t push him. There are two things he would kill for and those are his woman and nephew.

5 Aunt Louie

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

If not for Louie, there would be no Franklin enterprise. She put her neck and body on the line for her nephew and for a time, even stepped away from Jerome to be with Claudia. Louie is just as hardcore as the men she hangs around and maybe more strong-willed than most of them. To say she’s a strong influence in Franklin’s life would be an understatement. When Franklin has issues, it’s normally Louie who he turns to.

Her relationship with Jerome is normally solid and for a bit of time, it appeared that she would be the first of the team to fall victim to crack. But she held her ground more than once and during her classic interrogation, she proved that she’s more than willing to take one for the team.

4 Leon

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

If Franklin is Tony Montana then that makes Leon– Manny. Leon has been by Franklin’s side since they were kids and it’s only right, he’s there now. After spending time in jail, Leon has put it in his mind that there’s nothing else out there for him. While Jerome looks like the muscle of the team, it’s actually Leon who does the dirty work.

With that said, he’s also a loose cannon. As the operation grew, there were a few times Franklin had to reel his friend back in. He’s loyal but you can sense that he’s living on borrowed time. Will Franklin be able to save his friend from potential death in Season 4?

3 Teddy

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

The first few episodes of Snowfall were pretty hard to decipher. It was hard to make sense of Teddy’s character. Was he true to the cause or just plain crazy? I mean, he was not in his kid’s life. His ex-wife wasn’t too fond of him and he appeared to have no friends. He was on his own island. His only connection to the world was through drug dealing.

But then it all began to come together. What made Teddy so unique is that he’s a bottle of emotions just ready to explode. His relationship with people has improved and he and his ex tried to make it work only for her to stab him in the back. Then it comes down to him and Franklin. What will become of their relationship moving forward?

2 Gustavo

Snowfall Top 10 Characters Ranked

The former wrestler turned enforcer and now possible drug kingpin. Gustavo is like Franklin. We know they’re doing wrong but yet, we still root for them to succeed. Gustavo has had it rough but he’s always found a way to either escape serious trouble and come out ahead of everyone else.

After Lucia vanished, Gustavo managed to lure her mother back into the business. As Season 3 ended, Gustavo was in the midst of building an El Chapo like-tunnel from Mexico to the United States. Not too bad for a man they say is all muscle and no brain. In the end, Gustavo may prove to be more valuable than Franklin in terms of he and Teddy’s relationship.

1 Franklin

Never underestimate the mind and drive of a young person. The moves that Franklin is making are reserved for the older guys in that line of work. Franklin took a small opportunity and turned it into a million-dollar profit. He’s calculating with little to no rush and always seems to be two steps ahead of not only any competition but his team as well.

But even with those great traits, Franklin is losing a bit of himself in each episode. He’s killed, lied, and ordered hits. This was not the kid we were introduced to in Season 1. Franklin Saint is no longer that. He’s a boss and must conduct himself as such even if that means losing what viewers fell in love within the beginning.
