Smoke

Fri 27 June

Apple TV+

Inspired by true events, Smoke follows a troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator as they pursue the trails of two serial arsonists. During the ‘80s and early ‘90s, there were almost 2,000 suspicious fires across Southern California. Most of them were started in similar circumstances, but there were no clear suspects, obvious motives or geographical pattern.

Now this captivating crime wave is being recreated by Taron Egerton, Jurnee Smollett, Greg Kinnear, Anna Chlumsky and John Leguizamo. Reset in the modern day, this is a mystery packed with delusion and drama, where moral ambiguity and complicated relationships are almost as dangerous as the flames.
