SPOILER ALERT: The following piece contains plot details from the first two episodes of “Smoke,” now streaming on Apple TV+.

Three years ago, crime writer Dennis Lehane and actor Taron Egerton collaborated on “Black Bird,” a successful Apple TV+ series that delved into the true story of undercover informant James Keene. The show garnered critical acclaim and Emmy nominations, showcasing Egerton’s talent alongside a standout performance from Paul Walter Hauser. Now, Egerton and Lehane have joined forces once again for “Smoke,” a new series that explores the world of arson with a star-studded cast.

In “Smoke,” Egerton plays Dave Gudsen, a former firefighter turned arson investigator, while Jurnee Smollett portrays Michelle Calderon, a police detective in the Pacific Northwest. The show is set in the fictional city of Umberland, portrayed by Vancouver, known for its lush forests that serve as a dangerous backdrop for the arson investigation.

The first two episodes of “Smoke” set the stage for a captivating storyline. Egerton’s portrayal of Dave as an aspiring novelist and former firefighter adds depth to the character, while Smollett’s Michelle brings a steely determination to her role. The series takes a surprising turn at the end of the second episode, setting the stage for a thrilling cat-and-mouse game between the investigators and the arsonists.

Without giving away too many spoilers, “Smoke” reveals a twist that adds layers to the story and challenges the characters in unexpected ways. As the investigation unfolds, Egerton’s performance as Dave takes on a new intensity, blurring the lines between hero and villain. The supporting cast, including Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine as Freddy and Greg Kinnear as Harvey, adds depth to the narrative, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

Despite a few moments of absurdity in the later episodes, “Smoke” remains a compelling watch, with a sense of humor that balances out the darker themes. With a talented cast and behind-the-scenes talent from former HBO executives, the series is a testament to Apple’s commitment to premium content. Thom Yorke’s haunting theme song adds to the overall atmosphere of the show, making it a must-watch for fans of true crime dramas.

The first two episodes of “Smoke” are now available for streaming on Apple TV+, with new episodes releasing weekly on Fridays. Don’t miss out on this gripping series that will keep you guessing until the very end.
