Franklin Saint is back in the driver's seat for season two of "Snowfall," which opens with episode one, titled "Sightlines." Set against the backdrop of 1980s Los Angeles, "Snowfall" chronicles the early days of the crack cocaine epidemic, with a focus on the young street dealer named Franklin and his unlikely partnerships with a Mexican wrestler named Gustavo and a CIA operative named Teddy.

As season two kicks off, Franklin is working to expand his operation, leading him to take over more turf and recruit new dealers. Meanwhile, Gustavo is working to take down a rival gang by any means necessary, and Teddy is dealing with fallout from his earlier dealings with the Contras in Central America.

The episode opens with a tense standoff between Franklin and his associates, as they confront a rival dealer who has encroached on their territory. It's a high-stakes situation that underscores the growing violence and chaos of the drug trade in Los Angeles, with Franklin trying to impose his will on the streets even as he struggles with internal conflicts and doubts about his own capabilities.

As the episode unfolds, we see Franklin's operation start to grow in new and unexpected ways, with increasingly sophisticated methods for distribution and dealing. He even brings in a new partner, a seasoned gang member who brings a new level of ruthlessness and cunning to the game. But as the stakes get higher and the danger more pronounced, Franklin begins to realize that the path he's on may not be as straightforward or easy as he initially thought.

At the same time, Gustavo is dealing with his own challenges, including pressure from his boss to take out a rival gang leader and protect their own turf. The episode gives us a deeper glimpse into the world of Mexican wrestling, which Gustavo has used to his advantage in the past to intimidate and bully his enemies. But as he faces off against a new enemy, he starts to feel the weight of his own mortality and the potential costs of his violent path.

Meanwhile, Teddy is grappling with his own demons and secrets, including a complicated romantic relationship and a tenuous situation with his former Contra contacts. As he deals with the fallout from his earlier dealings, he realizes that he may not be able to keep his various double lives separate for much longer.

Throughout "Sightlines," we see the characters wrestling with their own limitations and vulnerabilities, as they try to navigate the complex and treacherous terrain of the drug trade. The episode is a testament to the high stakes and dangerous reality of this world, with no easy answers or quick fixes in sight.

As the season continues, we can expect to see these characters facing even more intense challenges, as they fight for their own survival and seek to carve out their own place in a world that seems to be spiraling out of control. With strong performances and a gripping storyline, "Snowfall" remains one of the most engaging and thought-provoking dramas on television.
