For the fourth episode of Snowfall's fifth season, Franklin confronts the CIA agent he believes killed his father, only to hear the same victim blaming rhetoric the U.S. government has been using to remove the Black fathers from home since the Nixon administration.

For the second episode of Snowfall's fifth season, the review explores the parallels between the problems facing the U.S. government in the show with the problems facing the U.S. government during the Iran-Contra conflict of the 1980s.
