Review
Jack Seale
Dennis Lehane and Taron Egerton, writer and star of the underrated drama Black Bird, reunite for a detective show with a difference. Egerton is Dave Gudsen, a sleuth who is, just after we meet him, obliged to take on a new partner, Michell Calderon (Jurnee Smollett) — but Gudsen is an arson investigator and the perpetrators he and his colleague must find are two serial arsonists at work in the Pacific Northwest.
Both lead characters bear trauma as well as the negative effects of relationships past and present — while those back stories and the detectives’ chemistry are sketched with some assurance, it’s the show’s specific interest in arson as a crime and fire as a fearsome natural phenomenon that sets it apart. A particular kind of criminal deliberately sets fires — Smoke successfully ensures that it is therefore a particular kind of crime series.
