Smoke

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.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

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 must admit that my brother and I watch a lot of tv so a show has to stick out for me to write a review. Smoke is absolutely worth the time to write a review. While it could have probably been an episode of two shorter it's still a really good show. Smoke is about an arson investigator (Taron Egerton) who unwilling teams up with a police detective (Jurnee Smollett) to investigate and stop two arsonists. What follows is plenty of secrets being revealed and twists and turns that will keep you engaged and entertained. Egerton and Smollett lead a great ensemble cast that all give great performances here. The show feels fresh and original enough that it will keep you wanting to watch more as soon as possible.

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!"

I was excited to see Jurnee Smollett and Taran Egerton star together in this show, and the plot sounded very interesting too. The first episode was really difficult to watch with how slow and uneventful it was. I decided to continue giving it one more shot, and the second half of episode 2 is when things finally pick up and get interesting. From there, it became a great watch and was able binge the next episodes because the pacing improved and the story got more engaging. So, I recommend sticking around for a bit to give it a proper try.
