City on Fire

There does need to be a little bit of plausible deniability here but if you can get past that it's a great show! I thought it was well acted and the characters were well developed. I feel like there was a good amount of suspense and twists through the series. I have a hard time paying attention to most shows and turn them off after the first 1 or 2 episodes. This one kept me intrigued and kept me pushing play. You root for the good guys and hate the bad guys and you are left hanging on until the very end. Not sure why the low rating, I thought this was a winner and better than more higher rated shows. Give it a chance.

This show is amazing. The storyline makes sense, it's beautifully told over multiple storylines that all come together in a very cohesive way. The artistic element is great, the characters are well developed and fun and you get to watch them develop further over the series. The pace isn't too fast and it isn't too slow, my attention was immediately grabbed wanting to know more. I know everything isn't for everyone, but I genuinely have a hard time understanding the bad reviews; I didn't notice any of what they mentioned and I definitely say give this a shot if you like mysteries - especially if you also enjoy art and rebellion.

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.

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?

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.
