Smoke: Tracce di fuoco

The story develops very slowly, but becomes more exciting with each episode. The main character, Taron Egerton/Dave Gudson, plays a terrific role, but Ntare Mwine/Freddy Fasano also gives a chillingly excellent performance.

You need to be patient with this series, but your patience will be rewarded!"

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.

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 love this show. It starts rather slow, but builds beautifully, by ep. 03 you can't wait for the next twist. Acting is superb and the dialogues are really good too. Setting is perfect imo too, in some rather gloomy American back country with maybe 20% of the time in a wonderfully grotesque chicken fast food restaurant (that has "moth..fu.. good!" poster , its almost dystopian, you could have it in the Fallout series!) . The show is a slow burner but its rewarding and def. Speaks to adult audience with themes 40+ will appreciate like failed marriage, stress issues, middle age crisis and such. So its not about arsonists. A deep conversation on humanity wrapped in a plastic of procedural that is melting await with fire that burns inside ready to burst out in your face.

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.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
