After 6 seasons, Snowfall is considered one of the best dramas of this generation. It was John Singleton's last project, it launched the career of the VERY fine (and talented) Damson Idris and it has a legion of super fans. So, for this very special episode we brought on TWO experts to break it down for us - every single season, especially since we never watched until about a week ago (welp). Learn more about our guests below.

ABOUT DAVID ROBINSON (aka DISCO)
David Robinson, a self-proclaimed '90s black entertainment guru who's passionate about all things TV. Born and raised in Chicago, David's TV journey began with Saturday morning cartoons and gradually progressed to sitcoms and suspense shows. Today, he admits to being a bit sidelined by trashy dating shows but always finds time to keep up with his favorite sports games on his phone.
David's TV taste is diverse, ranging from comedy and suspense to game shows. On some days, he'll tell you that Game of Thrones is his all-time favorite, but most days he swears by The Wire as the absolute best television show ever created.
When it comes to black movie quotes, David's friends and family consider him an expert. He can recite even the most obscure lines from classic black movies and always seems to have the perfect quote for any occasion. If you're lucky enough to catch him in the right mood, he might even reenact a scene with you. But be warned, if you can't keep up with his encyclopedic knowledge, he might get a little annoyed.
When David's not watching TV, he's either educating young minds or making savvy real estate investments. In his free time, he enjoys chasing sunsets around the world with his drone. However he’s a creative who doesn’t share his creative.
Fun fact: David has seen every single season of MTV’s The Challenge. Yes, all 38 seasons.
ABOUT HAPPY GAMBOA
Happy is a Brooklyn native and self proclaimed pop culture guru. As a New Yorker, Happy always has an opinion or POV that is blunt, forward and ridiculous. Being an only child, Happy’s sibling was a television set and growing up, was a big fan of sitcoms such as A Different World, Living Single and Martin. Once Happy got HBO (through a “hot box”), she got introduced to amazing tv series such as sex and the city, the wire, oz and that’s only to name a few and still goes to HBO for top tier television.
With very little representation of Latin people on tv, Happy would always seek tv and movies that told the stories she could relate to and of course that meant anything NYC related. Her love for Spike Lee movies exemplifies this as his movies always feels like a love letter to Brooklyn and NYC. Bonus, people tell Happy ALL the time that she reminds them of Rosie Perez which is the ultimate compliment for this Brooklyn girl. She has been asked to say Mookie numerous times(smh lol)With the new millennium, Happy tuned in shows like Jane the Virgin, Ugly Betty, Orange is the New Black, On My Block, and MAYANS which finally had some Brown people on tv! Happy’s tv taste is a wide variety of comedy, acclaimed drama, reality tv(she loves a good Bravo messy show), soap opera like drama, and loves how tv is incorporated in everyday pop culture thanks to social media.
