Cortina de Fumaça

I think the storyline is original, and I'm totally drawn in by what motivates serial arsonists to set fires. A lot of the time, they feel powerless in their own lives, and lighting something up gives them a strange sense of control or satisfaction. It's dark, but fascinating.

Taron Egerton continues to impress and this was the first time I've seen Jurnee Smollett (at least that I can remember). She delivers an edgy performance and they have good chemistry together.

Overall, I'm hooked and can't wait for the next episode. If I had one complaint, it's just that I wish I could binge the whole season now. But honestly, it's good enough that I don't mind waiting.

P. S.: Not sure why there are so many early, poor reviews ... doesn't add up.

I like the series, it has a good storyline about chasing 2 unknown arsonists. The actors are really good and the sound effects and visuals are good. Apple TV has starred again with another one of its great series.

This leaves you wanting more and can't wait to see the next episode. The other reviews that are downgrading this are rubbish with one of them stating the music is bad. However I think it's fitting. The actors are good quality, with a very intriguing storyline.

Well worth a watch and really describes some of the characters we have in this world today and what they are capable of.

Very good and well worth a watch.

Just want to encourage those who aren't loving it so far to hold on and give it proper chance as it is a bit of a slow burn.

I worked on Smoke and I admit I was a bit miffed at the first few scripts and what seems like major cliches in the plot and characters but it really does come together!

Taron Egerton give an amazingly layered performance. Easily the most nuanced character I've seen him play thus far. But to me the true stand out was Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine he was utterly terrifying at times. His work should land him high on all lists come awards season.

Smoke was truly one of the most interesting projects I've ever been a part of and hope people warm up to it.

After 2 episodes I'm in. This is easily one of my favorites shows of the year so far, unless the rest of the season goes off the rails. The characters are interesting, the dialog realistic (I'm no expert on the subject but it all feels legit), and the story has me completely hooked.

I don't understand the poor reviews especially after only 2 episodes. Cliche'? Maybe to some, but I haven't seen any other shows executed with this level of style and edginess in a while. The characters are just beginning to develop and boy are they a puzzle. After the plot twist at the end of episode 2, I can't wait to see where this goes.

Smoke is definitely a show that's worth watching. Apple TV is easily the best streaming platform there is right now and it's not particularly close either. Everything they put out is terrific and gets great reviews by both critics and the audience. It reminds me of when HBO was at their peak. Well, Smoke is another hit for them. Every episode is exciting and keeps the plot moving forward. The only negative is that we have to wait a week between episodes, I like it better when they drop the entire season at the same time so we can binge watch it. Taron Egerton gives another great performance and a big reason why this series is as good as it is. Egerton is a big name that should attract people to this show so hopefully it does well enough to get another season.
