New truly crime ministers come to Apple TV+ and there are pretty stacked cast teams that think critics of "smoke", the latest effort by shower and writer Dennis Lehan?

First things first: "Smoke", which uses Podcast "Firebug" Like his loose source of material (as well as a true story, to which I will be back in just a littleFrom the Kingsman films and "rocket"), Urnural Smolet (Who delivered a spectacular performance in "birds predatory" in 2020), Adina Porter (a famous figure in Ryan Murphy's extended universe), Rafe Spal ("Black Mirror", "Big Short"), Anna Klumi ("Vep") and Hollywood networks Johnon Leguizamo and Greg Kinear. It is here that firefighter investigator Dave Goodsen (Egerton) and the stubborn detective Michel Calderon (Smolet) are trying to find out who burned a huge fire in the northwest of the Pacific, and the answer is shockingly complicated (and comes with a huge turnaround).

The crime plays are in the industry these days and it feels like there is a new entrance to the genre on the basis of a permanent basis. So what is the deal with the "smoke" and what do critics think about the first (and perhaps independent) season that hit Apple TV+ on June 27?

Over Rotten tomatoes"Smoke" earned an average of 64% of this writing with a critical consensus, which reads: "" Smoke "covers its appeal with a plot that ultimately does not light a fire under its story, but the commander is turning from Taron Egerton and Urnurna Smolet Keeping this drama all over the world." Through mixed reviews for the new series, critics repeat this exact feeling.

From the positive side, allan sepinvol of Rolling stone He wrote: "It is no coincidence that the" smoke "becomes a much more fun and complex second that turns all its cards." IGN moviesEmma Fraser missed, "" smoke "suffers from excessively ambiguous storytelling. However, despite all the frustrations they represent, the performances of Egerton, Urnarnar Smolet and the rest of the ensemble make this infinitely viewed and attractive series. "In her review of ThewrapDeidre Nsonson said: "" Smoke "has everything that Dennis's book fans or TV shapes are expected - a mystery, action, violence, a foretant atmosphere - but this series has a dark comedy and parts of fantasy." Meanwhile, TV guideKeith HIPS was pretty direct: "The results are not completely satisfying, but the moments clicking on the place, especially those performances that hit the balance that have tried in the series, suggest it is worth a try."

Detectors, how To the clubYou Tim Lowry, I didn't smear the words; As he said, "" smoke "has some real things to say about a misconception, the stories we tell and the trauma behind them. It's just bad that her excitement is so often scattered. "Over Rogerebert.comBrian Thalerko wrote: "Forget about the suspension of belief - you have to set fire to the fire to enjoy this." In fact, many critics went for fire -related digging, like Nina Metz on Chicago Tribune: "A lot of smoke. No fire." Finally, Nick Shager, in his review of Daily AstverHe simply said that the whole thing was saturated, calling a "smoke" show with as much restraint as its fiens, sabotaging its often occupying action through several crucial over-turn contractions.

Or, who worked as an explorer of arson in California, was eventually unmasked as a fruitful arson; Over time, he set up and subsequently investigated over 2,000 fires in the country. According to an article in Los Angeles TimesThe only reason why Ortho's crimes were once discovered is because, in 1991, he began trying to sell a novel called "Spots of Origin" - and as the exit says, it was pretty obvious to Ora himself. "The hero of his manuscript, Phil, is persistent, a gun with a gun in La," he said. "The villain, Aaron, is a socially stunning pyramia who finds sexual arousal in the fires he sets, and who uses his specialized knowledge as a veteran firefighter to escape the discovery."

Although Ora denied that the novel, in fact, was based on it in an interview with the Times, it feels like it is probably not true, and the fact is that the contents of the novel eventually made the authorities arrest Ortho. The exit also notes that, as of January 2025, Orn was still a prisoner at the state prison of Mule Creek in California.
