It's all of those simmering tensions that blow up in the two-part finale of Snowpiercer and turn the train's hierarchy on its head.
But humans being humans, fights break out, black market pipelines funnel goods from the haves to the have-nots and back again, and the powerful take advantage of the weak. That train just so happens to be the last bastion of humanity, an Ark of sorts that houses survivors of a global freeze and was designed to support them all for at least a couple of generations.

The TV series, like the movie and the graphic novel it was based on, centers on a class-based conflict First class passengers enjoy all the amenities of the bygone modern world while the lowest-class "Tailies" struggle in crowded conditions with little resources at the tail end of the train. The overall story of Snowpiercer can be painted with a pretty broad brush. But you probably have some questions from both parts of that two-part resolution, and we're here to answer them and clear some things up. And more surprising still, it was the penultimate episode "The Train Demanded Blood" that actually played out the final moments of the revolution, leaving the season finale "994 Cars Long" to act as a closing chapter and bridge to the Season 2 story to come. Surprisingly, Snowpiercer brought its class warfare story to a revolutionary close with a two-part finale. Though it's taken quite a long time for TNT's Snowpiercer to get moving, the sci-fi drama series chugged along this summer to its ultimate Season 1 finale just this past weekend.
