Snowfall season 5 episode 9: Damson Idris talks Franklin’s path
Is this going to be a character now who is out for some sort of redemption? It is hard to dive fully into the idea that he’ll get it, mostly because there is so much metaphorical water under the bridge. We do think that the wedding of Louie and Jerome was a great opportunity for the character to further see the error of his ways, but there are some things to remember/consider here. He’s killed people, made enemies, and also burned people who could’ve been assets to him. There’s a reason why Louie doesn’t want to become much of a partner to him at this point.

Here’s the thing, though: We do think there’s still potential for some redemption. It may not be easy, but it could still be worth fighting. Speaking to Deadline at a recent Contenders Television event, here is some of what Idris had to say on that subject:
“There’s always room for redemption, hopefully … He’s definitely coming to terms with who he truly is, and he’s starting to see that he is actually a monster…I hope we’re able to empathize with some people that have been affected by Franklin, and understand that he, too, is a victim of the times and he’s a victim of being in that circumstance. And having no choice.”
These next couple of episodes are going to be powerful beyond measure — we’re pretty sure of that. Also, it could contain some of Idris’ best work yet.
