Humo

I must admit that my brother and I watch a lot of tv so a show has to stick out for me to write a review. Smoke is absolutely worth the time to write a review. While it could have probably been an episode of two shorter it's still a really good show. Smoke is about an arson investigator (Taron Egerton) who unwilling teams up with a police detective (Jurnee Smollett) to investigate and stop two arsonists. What follows is plenty of secrets being revealed and twists and turns that will keep you engaged and entertained. Egerton and Smollett lead a great ensemble cast that all give great performances here. The show feels fresh and original enough that it will keep you wanting to watch more as soon as possible.

The woman in this series is pretty much invincible and never held accountable for any of her actions. She's the smartest, strongest and baddest character in the whole series. Everything is catered towards her and there are no consequences for her actions. Everything goes her way all the time. Taron Egarton plays the lead and the psychological twist keep you in suspense. Meanwhile Smolletts character trots around the plot doing whatever she wants whenever she wants and nobody seems to care. She's just the most intelligent corrupted cop to ever exist.

This series was on its way to near excellence. Then the final episode pretty much ruined it. I don't know what happened, what had been a strong mystery/thriller turned into a fantasy where physics doesn't exist. The last episode was so bad that it seemed like the writing was sourced to some random person on the street. Performance laurels go the characters of Dave, Freddy and Ezra. Episodes 1,2 fine. 3 to 8 superior. 9 a disappointing mess.

Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine delivers an EPIC, ICONIC, SURREAL PERFORMANCE that is, by itself, AN OUTSTANDING REASON TO WATCH.

I am from São Paulo, Brazil, love tv shows and had not seen him on screen before.

WHAT A PERFORMANCE. He turned a secondary character into a OUTLIER. His delivery is as solid as Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards, less verbal of course...but its a league of its own. Accent, tone, non verbal, alternating tones of voice in a extremely disturbing performance.

Saw him this week on Dexter Ressurection. ANOTHER OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE, SO GOOD and DIFFERENT it seems like a completely different actor.

THANK YOU SIR.

I've watched the first two episodes of Smoke on Apple TV+ and so far, I'm enjoying it. The atmosphere is dark, tense, and moody, with the Pacific Northwest setting really adding to the overall tone. The story is slowly building tension, and the performances by Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett are strong and believable. The pacing is slow but feels deliberate, like it's setting up for bigger twists to come. The characters seem layered and complex, and the mystery around the fires is keeping me hooked. I'm definitely curious to see where the story goes next. Right now, I'd rate it a 7/10.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
