There's a series hitting Apple at the end of June called Smoke that stars Taron Egerton as a former fireman turned arson investigator who's on the trail of a (cue The Prodigy song playing in your head) fire-stahtah -- you can watch the trailer here. It looks very Backdraft to me -- hopefully we get Taron in a shower scene like Billy Baldwin's legendary one in that movie then. (It is from the same folks who made Black Bird and that movie wasn't shy about showing off Taron so fingers crossed!) The series is premiering at Tribeca in a couple of weeks so maybe I'll see some of it there and have something to say. The most important thing (aside from the shower scene possibility obviously) is that Thom Yorke of my favorite band Radiohead has just dropped a new song that's for the show's soundtrack! Here it is:

Is this a new series? I know he was in a show called "The Smoke" in the UK about a decade ago, also about firefighters. And he did have a shower scene in that show.
It IS a new show -- when I googled for an image of it I stumbled upon that info about the old show. I don't believe they're related. Which is weird! (And I do also remember Taron's butt in that scene haha)
