If you’ve been meaning to check out Apple’s new psychological crime drama “Smoke“, you can now sample the show’s intense opening scene, along with Thom Yorke’s moody theme song for the opening credits. Watch it below.
As it has done with past series, Apple has uploaded the full opening scene for Smoke, giving potential viewers a peek at what to expect from its new crime drama show.
Inspired by the podcast Firebug and created by Black Bird showrunner Dennis Lehane, Smoke stars Taron Egerton (Tetris, Rocketman) as a haunted arson investigator working with detective Michelle Calderone, played by Jurnee Smollett (The Order, Lovecraft Country), to chase down a couple of serial arsonists across the Pacific Northwest.
The show also stars Greg Kinnear (As Good As It Gets), John Leguizamo (The Menu), and Ashley Gudsen (X-Men: Dark Phoenix).
A true story-turned-podcast-turned-TV show
Here’s how Apple describes the new series:
“Inspired by true events, ‘Smoke’ follows an arson investigator who begrudgingly teams up with a police detective as their race to stop two arsonists ignites a twisted game of secrets and suspicions.”
Smoke premiered last week on Apple TV+ with a two-episode debut. New episodes will drop every Friday through August 15.

Based on a true story…the worst 5 words in a shows initial take. These “stories” are so loosely based on real events, they should disclose that it’s all fake, but the basic premise.
I know this story very well and it doesn’t happen in the Pacific Northwest. It starts in Pasadena, at a store I shopped at for years. However, that won’t stop me from watching the first few episodes. I’ll make my decision then.
Have you watched the first two episodes? Did the opening scene convince you to give it a shot? Let us know in the comments.
Apple TV+ is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
