Wanda's arc goes from the sublime to the ridiculous in “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga", a "Snowfall" spinoff that jettisons dope for West Coast rap. Only, the "new gold rush", as Wanda describes it, turns out to be a far cry from the clean path she'd envisaged going in.
Here's how to watch “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" online from anywhere with a VPN.

“The Drop: A Snowfall Saga" picks up in '90s LA, shortly after the events of the mother series, a subplot of which saw Wanda descend into and then recover from a harrowing crack cocaine addiction effectively enough to hold down a steady job working for Franklin.
It was a bruising arc that was as heartening as it was grounded, so to see her now as a highly-polished prospective music mogul at the very forefront of rap's journey into the mainstream requires a leap of the imagination. In addition to providing a semblance of continuity, however, it makes for a mouthwatering new venture.
Her cousin Lamar has a gift that gets her noticed, but Wanda can't resist the allure of talented but combustible local rapper Artillery, a move that blurs the lines between music and gang warfare. Notoriety may be good for business, but it places Lamar and Leon firmly in the crossfire.
