Okay, folks, let’s talk about finding shows similar to BMF and Snowfall. I’ve been down this rabbit hole myself, so I figured I’d share my journey.
I started, like most people probably do, by just, you know, Googling stuff. I typed in things like “shows like BMF” and “shows like Snowfall crime drama.” I was just throwing stuff at the wall to see what stuck.
I found some okay suggestions, but most felt too generic. I mean, sure, there are tons of crime dramas, but I wanted that specific vibe, that gritty, character-driven feel.
Diving Deeper.
So, I started getting more specific. I tried to break down why I liked BMF and Snowfall.
- Family Dynamics: Both shows are heavy on family, whether it’s blood relatives or the “family” you build on the streets.
- Period Pieces: The ’80s setting is a big part of the appeal, with the fashion, the music, the whole atmosphere.
- Rise to Power: Both follow characters starting from nothing and building empires, even if those empires are built on illegal activities.
- Gritty Realism: There is a certain element that I could not miss!
Armed with these, I started refining my searches. I started looking for “80s crime dramas family” and “shows about drug trade rise to power.” This helped a little, but I still wasn’t totally satisfied.
My next step was checking out forums and online communities. I hit up some TV show subreddits and message boards. I figured, who better to ask than other fans, right? I made some posts, asked for recommendations, and waited to see what people would suggest.
I got some decent * wasn’t a home run, but it gave me some new avenues to explore.
Finally, I’d say the thing is to try out, and decide if the show is good for you!
