Series overview

Snowpierceris set in 2026. Seven years have passed since the world became a frozen wasteland due toecocide.

It follows the remnants of humanity who have taken shelter on a perpetually moving luxury train.[8]

Designed and built by the eccentric billionaire Mr. Wilford, the train consists of 1,001 carriages and circles the globe 2.7 times per year.[9]

The constant motion of the train provides energy and prevents the passengers from freezing as well.

Since the catastrophe, the train’s population has become rigidly separated by class.

They are caught up in a revolutionary struggle against the strictly imposed social hierarchy.

There is also an unbalanced allocation of limited resources.[10]

The show explores issues of class warfare, social injustice, and the politics of survival.[11]

Season 3

Six months later, Snowpiercer has become a 10 car pirate train.

Meanwhile, Big Alice has transformed into a 1,023 car sub-zero “rolling gulag.”.

Layton and his allies aboardSnowpiercersearch the locations indicated by Melanie’s data for a habitable location.

Meanwhile, his remaining allies onBig Alicemounts a rebellion against Wilford.

Layton’s search proves to be mostly fruitless.

However, he discovers a survivor named Asha.

He also has a vision.

The vision suggests that the last warm spot in theHorn of Africamight be suitable.

This warm spot could be used to build a New Eden.

Layton and Wilford engage in a battle that ends with Layton seizing control of both trains and imprisoning Wilford.

To convince people to travel to the Horn of Africa, Layton tells Asha to lie.

She claims that he found her there.

As the trains travel to New Eden, Layton has to deal with becoming a new father.

He also faces attempts on his life by his former friend and ally Pike.

At the same time, Wilford survives an attempt on his own life.

He briefly struggles with his mortality and his future.

Layton has a coma dream featuring a dystopian future forSnowpiercer.

He realizes that his New Eden vision was a hallucination brought on by oxygen deprivation.

He loses faith.

Asha sacrifices herself to saveSnowpiercerfrom a cloud of toxic gas.

She encourages Layton not to give up.

Her actions renew his faith.

At the end of the season, Wilford deduces that Melanie is still alive andSnowpiercerrescues her.

Melanie’s concerns about New Eden lead to the exposure of Layton’s lie.

A new conflict begins to brew aboard the train.

Additionally, Wilford escapes.

Layton and Melanie resolve their differences once and for all and band together to banish Wilford fromSnowpiercer.

The passengers are then given a choice.

They can continue onSnowpiercerwith Melanie.

Alternatively, they can take a chance on going to New Eden onBig Alicewith Layton.

The rough track derailsBig Aliceupon arrival, but New Eden proves to be habitable.

Three months later, Melanie spots a rocket launching and exploding in the distance.

I did not make a review for this season back when I saw it.

I do think that this is probably the weakest season so far.

It is time to bring this show to an end.

I have not seen season 4 yet.

I actually am not looking forward to it.

Even though I do not hate this show or anything.

It just does not need to be stretched out this long.

Let it rest in peace before it goes downhill anymore.

I still recommend that people watch this show once.

Hopefully season 4 will end this show well enough.
