Snowfall boss breaks down season 6's surprising finale
Snowfall season 6 spoilers follow.
Snowfall co-creator and executive producer Dave Andron has broken down the crime drama's surprising series finale.
The FX series came to an end after six seasons on Wednesday night (April 20), concluding with Damson Idris' Franklin Saint hitting rock bottom.
Franklin's mother Cissy ended up in prison after killing Teddy, and following a confrontation with Veronique, Franklin later learned that Veronique took most of his remaining money and left to raise their child in another country.

Franklin pretty much ends up where he first started, and Andron told TVLine that it "breaks him" as the last of his cash runs out until he has nothing left.
"He fully breaks, and he gives up. After saying that he’s never going to do it, he just can’t," Andron said.
"He can’t take it all in and cope with it, ending with that guy broken on the street that we started on very much felt like the surprising and yet inevitable end to our show."

Andron was also asked if they had ever considered killing Franklin off, but, in doing this, he said it would essentially let him "off the hook".
"I, personally, would shy away from him dying, partly because it felt a little easy, This is a guy who brought the devastation in his neighbourhood, brought cocaine into it [and] did everything he could to push it," he shared.
"It just felt like for him to get killed was letting him off the hook. For him to have to live in the hell that he created, it felt like there was a certain level of dramatic irony in that."
Snowfall airs on FX in the US, while it's available to watch on Disney+ in the UK.
