City on Fire

Writing this a day after Apple canceled this show. So naturally I decided to watch it. It's good. Couple of plot holes, but what show doesn't? Decent acting. Surprisingly the writing is ok. Seems like people can't understand why it was canceled. That would be because the story is told. They completely told the story of the book. There isn't anything else to say. So, should you watch it? If you're subscribed to Apple, then yes. You're paying for it. It's not good enough that you should subscribe just to watch it. Just accept it for what it is. An entertaining < 8 hours that could be worse. There's enough garbage out there. Watch this garbage.

After watching the whole series in just a few days I must say: I really liked the show and the characters. I love good thrillers with plot twists and mystery. And there were plot twists all the time. The ending was also SO unexpected and left me wanting to know more. It doesn't end with a typical cliffhanger but there could be a possible second season because a few stories lines are left open. That the whole show is taking part in New York City is also a great bonus :) the cast was amazing and loved how the characters developed during the story. Definitely hoping for another season. City on Fire season 2 please?

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.

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!!!
