Created by Dennis Lehane, Smoke is a 9-episode crime drama that stars Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett as an arson investigator and detective, as they try to bring two serial arsonists to justice.

I love watching Egerton do his thing, sounding fully American to my non-American ears, while being thoroughly Welsh. The man is amply skilled.

I’ve watched shows like Chicago Fire (2012) and, more recently, 9-1-1 (2018). As a result, I feel it’s safe to say that I’m somewhat familiar with the psychology of the serial arsonist types. The cat-and-mouse situation here should be fun to see play out.

Lastly, doesn’t the fire look absolutely beautiful? To be clear, I’m in no way a budding arsonist. I promise.

Hannah Emily Anderson, Luke Roessler, Mishka Thébaud, Adina Porter, Dakota Daulby, Dani Alvarado, Erin Karpluk, Rafe Spall, Nozipho Mclean, Maya Ford, Sarah Leavi Cooper and Mariesa Crouse also star.

Smoke Release Dates: June 27th, 2025 (US & UK)…

Happy Film Loving,
