"This is yet another quality production from Apple TV+. Taron Egerton plays an arson investigator who is forced to partner with a police detective, played by Jurnee Smollett, as they hunt for two separate serial arsonists in this 9 episode series. Egerton's character is a self absorbed narcissist and has dreams of being a novelist, and Smollett's character is tough as nails with a troubled past and her own issues. The story purposely starts slow but builds nicely, and soon secrets and lies begin to come to light. Not to give anything away but it goes in a direction that I wasn't expecting pretty early on in the series. There are also notable roles from Greg Kinnear and John Leguizamo. It's dark and gritty with a pretty satisfying ending. All episodes are now streaming so it makes for a good binge watch. 8.5/10"

"this 1s a banger. not political & no hard faces (((potential spoilers))) old fashioned who don it based on true life case of Lenard Orr. i was surprised Joe Wambach wrote a book abt this guy. imo both Wambach & Orr r masonic buddies like many firefighters. it definitely shouldn’t have taken 10 yrs to smoke out the culprit,lol. i really liked Legazomo performance 5/5"

"Slow burn crime thriller that builds and builds. Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett and the supporting cast are terrific. 8/10 👍"
