Updated VGK Playoff primer

I left off Robin Lehner, who hasn't played in 2 years, who is, by all rights, signed through next year. He hasn't played in 2 years even though I deeeeeeply love him. I miss panda so much. I also left off all the guys who got traded over the summer or aren't playing anymore (Phil Kessel, Teddy Blueger, Nolan Patrick, Reilly Smith, Laurent Brossoit) Rip our wives, but none of them have played at all this year, so.

SNOWFALL (2017–2023): Engrossing if often heavy-handed FX crime drama, co-created by John Singleton (with Eric Amadio and Dave Andron): a fictionalized account of how a CIA operation to fund anticommunist Contra death squads in Nicaragua in the 1980s sparked the crack cocaine trade in the U.S., focusing on a bright young Black man named Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), who becomes L.A.'s (fictional) first crack kingpin in increasingly uneasy partnership with twitchy, dweebish white CIA officer Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), who will do almost anything to keep the money and guns flowing, with ultimately ruinous consequences for all concerned.

As with any serialized drama lasting six seasons, the pacing is uneven and some plot threads get dropped without resolution, and like Singleton's early films, it can't resist periodically veering into contrivance-laden melodrama (although it's at least less strident than BOYZ N THE HOOD or HIGHER LEARNING). However, it's consistently interesting, anchored by some very strong performances — particularly Idris and Angela Lewis, as Franklin's aunt Lou — and its '80s setting is more convincingly realized than many recent period pieces, with a few nods to the life of Singleton himself, who was a teenager in South L.A. at the time the story takes place. Probably its biggest flaw is that its Latinx characters, even the ongoing ones, are rarely allowed to rise above stereotype (and the most complex Latina character, played by Emily Rios, departs after Season 2), although nearly all the Black characters, who are centered throughout, are refreshingly three-dimensional.

CONTAINS LESBIANS? Franklin's Aunt Lou — one of the show's best characters — is bisexual, and in the early seasons has a difficult, on-again-off-again relationship with a ruthless lesbian club owner (Judith Scott). VERDICT: Doesn't quite live up to its more grandiose ambitions, and the unnecessarily protracted, relentlessly downbeat finale leaves a sour taste, but it's still among the best shows of its genre: BREAKING BAD without the blorbofication, THE WIRE without the paternalistic cop apologism. Note that the final season needs CWs for threats of sexual violence, which are pretty rough.
