FX had its upfronts ages ago. Obviously unwilling to be left out of all of this week’s fun, though, it’s just released a trailer for its new drama Snowfall, which airs in July. Created by John Singleton (Boyz n the Hood), Snowfall‘s set in Los Angeles in 1983 and focuses on the city’s first crack epidemic and the impact on the city’s culture.
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
