City on Fire (Season 1)

City on Fire (2023) is a mystery drama series you can watch online on iFILM. It opens on July 4, 2003, when a college student is found shot in Central Park — one bullet that pulls a whole hidden New York into the light.

The case refuses to stay simple. Detectives trace a thread between three worlds that shouldn't touch: a string of fires breaking out across the city, the gritty downtown music scene of clubs and squats, and a wealthy uptown real estate dynasty buckling under the secrets it has kept for years. The prime suspect is the victim's own best friend, and the deeper anyone looks, the harder it gets to know who's lying. The ensemble runs through Wyatt Oleff, Chase Sui Wonders, Nico Tortorella, Ashley Zukerman and Jemima Kirke.

Adapted from Garth Risk Hallberg's sprawling novel by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage — the duo behind Gossip Girl and The O.C. — it blends coming-of-age drama with a slow-burn crime puzzle. Eight episodes, directed by Jesse Peretz, Haifaa al-Mansour and Liz Garbus. Best for viewers who want a mystery where the answer is about the people, not just the body.
