Cidade em Chamas

I like many things about City on Fire. The setting, the cinematography, the actors - especially Chase Sui Wonders - who plays the girl, that connects all the parts of the story in a clever way and has many layers to her, which I love to uncover with each episode.

Other characters are cool too, but I won't be explaining here why and who they are, you should find it out for yourself. The plot, the story is very good and each episode I was watching with a great interest, how it all will come together and what else will happen. You should watch with focus as there is some jumping between timelines, which I personally like, but I know it's not everyone's taste.

Overall, very good, very solid tv series I can recommend.

Having watched after reading negative riviews, I am surprise lots. This is an unique well crafted show. This is my genuine opinion. Not bad at all. Stories are not linier that interconnect each other. Each character has connected slightly. I can understand the connection as an episode proceeds. Music is also effective foreshadowing the each characters emotion and setting. Each actor shows quite good acting and persuasive. Why the negative opinions ?I presume that how the story is conved is preferrable. If you don't mind non linier way of story telling, you can like this one. Especially, if you like stories set on New York city. You can enjoy, I hope.

The 1st episode doesn't do justice to the rest of them. The plot and characters change dramatically. It is interesting how the character lives intertwine and who is connected to who, and why. It's almost impossible to predict what happens next, and yet the story makes sense.

This needs to be binged watched because you need to have everything fresh in your head, in order to follow the story. Most clues are important and you constantly keep guessing who's the bad guy and who shot the girl. So many people, so many motives!

There are a few flashback scenes, but once you understand them, that wont feel confusing and out of place.

The main story concludes in the 1st season, but there are enough open threads that I would love to see them answered in the 2nd season.

I didnt watch the trailer just saw the description on apple tv plus and started watching. I also searched up reviews before starting and saw metacritic and rotten tomatoes critics gave it a bad score so I was worried i was wasting my time but I kept watching and I finished the first episode and I really enjoyed it. I love the 2000s and the characters are pretty cool except for the socially awkward boy whose leading but hes not terrible terrible.

I think young people will enjoy especially if you grew up in the 2000s and i think people that didnt read the books would enjoy because i didnt read.

Update on 6/14: im still liking it! First ep was awesome then it goes downhill for 3-4 episodes but then around ep 5 it picks back up so if you give it a try make ur way to atleast the 6th ep!

I'm only at the beginning of Episode 2 so I can't say much else but... as of right I'm intrigued! Take a peek for yourself and don't let our reviews always lead you away! What some like others will hate! This isn't one of them though. Once again I would say it's worth the watch this far! Since I have to continue writing lol. There's a lot of things going on in all the characters lives however I don't see myself being confused I understood immediately and I appreciate that! Oh yea it's set in New York after 9/11. Saying what I can without saying much lol! Just give it a watch I went straight into the next episode maybe you will too!!!
