7 Reasons You Need To Watch FX's Snowfall

6. It Has Great Music

Ronnie Hudson's West Coast Poplock is the first song that plays, and one that sets the tone for the show. The colorful visuals combined with that thumping West Coast funk give out a feel good vibe and show that even though everything seems good and innocent, there's this anticipation of something big that's about to happen.

This is more underlined by Donny Hathaway's The Ghetto, which is used to highlight the complicated life of those rejected by the system. As the night falls, people resort to drugs in order to get through the night. Franklin sells them to survive, his mother to cope with the stress.

Another notable musical moment is when Rolling Stones' Monkey Man plays during a crazy cocaine party. Here there's just pure craziness, which ends in a tragedy.
