The loose threads come together eventually in the eight-episode Apple TV+ series, based on Garth Risk Hallberg’s 900-page novel, if not in a particularly convincing fashion.
But it’s entertaining as all get out, even if it’s all over the place. The characters are different enough and likable enough and unlikable enough and just plain weird enough to keep viewers engaged.

It would be hard for me to say that City on Fire should be top of your watchlist. However, I would also be loathe to warn people off it. ... If you stick past the first episode and get to know the characters and their individual plights, no matter how down-the-line they are played, then there are still plenty of moments to enjoy here.

The show favors stereotype over specificity. “City on Fire” is a much more earnest, less jaded show than “Gossip Girl” or “The O.C.”; its protagonists are still teenagers, but ones who wax rhapsodic about the city they idealize. When their show fails to demonstrate any real understanding of that city, though, the characters are projecting onto an empty slate.
