Hill, and Frank Oakley III.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/) Production companies are Primary Wave Entertainment and Cultivate Entertainment Partners.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/) The database record names no network or streaming platform, and no separate trade or press coverage of the production has been documented.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/)\n\n## Premise and genre\n\n*Snap* is placed in the drama genre. Its premise follows an imperfect god named A.O. who serves as the \"moral compass\" for the protagonist of each episode, challenging the beliefs that protagonist has held onto for most of their life; the framing suggests an anthology structure in which each episode centers a different protagonist.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/)\n\n## Release\n\nThe series premiered in the United States on December 22, 2022, and its run extends into 2023, giving a 2022–2023 date range across seven episodes.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/) The database record does not name the outlet on which the series premiered.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/)\n\n## Reception, by the numbers\n\nThe only quantitative reception record is the IMDb audience rating: 5.6 out of 10, based on 74 user ratings.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/) No professional critical reviews, festival appearances, awards, budget, viewership, or streaming-availability information for the series appear in the documented record, and nothing covers the series' status after 2023.[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18163882/)\n\n## References\n\n1.
