Definitely an interesting production. It feels like I am watching a noir film, but in a modern setting. Timeless story and personalities. Self-described addict to movies, which we see glimpses of from time to time, as if to show he imagines his life to be like one, with Bogart. The protagonist is a bit like a relict from the past. Lone gentleman in a suit, driving a vintage car, caring for the vulnerable, dealing with his own demons, longing for a mysterious woman, and who can see right through your deceit. Obvious allusions to the Golden age of Hollywood, but I also sense some inspiration by the French new-wave (inspired by the former). It also simply looks beautiful. I eagerly await new episodes.

I haven’t been so mad at the movie or tv series for a long time. The series would be absolutely fine without the „twist”. It adds nothing. It only cheapens the plot and adds a piece of banale. Ugh, why couldn’t it have been just a noire detective plot.

Clichéd nonsense. Having managed to force my way past the [spoiler]chopstick fly-catching[/spoiler] nonsense, I managed another twenty minutes of watching this superhuman ninja samaritan pussy-magnet detective polymath schtick before I had to turn it off.

Ohh lovely. Film noir, Colin F and an original idea. So far, so very good.

Well hell, I didn't see that coming.

A cool detective noir drama with a twist!

I appreciate how this leans into its influences and isn't shy about wanting to create a whole old-school vibe hand-in-hand with modernity. Is it "new?" It's a detective show, of course not. It's good. It's making an appreciable effort. It's well-written. There's a dizzying array of quick-cuts and free-hand camera-ing. Does it make things more interesting? It's a detective show, of course not, but it is self-aware enough to know how presumably exhausted the collective conscious should be of detective shows. I don't know if I"ve seen Colin Farrell in something I wasn't happy with his performance. It almost runs the risk of coming up cheesier than it means to be, but I think that's what separates classes of actors. It's the kind of show where I understand why people who review shows are digging it more than the audience, and depending on why/how you approach TV, both are right.

It's very different indeed! Good acting, especially from Farrell. But the plot.... 🤔 This story is very strange and takes too long to get to where the answers are... And even then still many questions remain. To be honest, I am glad it's over, it was hard wotk. :thumbsup_tone1: If there is a season 2 it would need to move along a little quicker.

An okay watch. The Ending was Not worth the time though. What he tries to uncover most of the times is pretty simple and straightforward. Disappointed that I’ve wasted my time on this. 6/10

went into this cuz of Colin Farrell obviously, was a neat little watch, with some twists at the end that i totally didn't expect and truly i'm not even sure if i'm all fine with the whole alien type of switchup in the story, didn't expect this at alllllllll anyway; aspect ratio is chef's kiss, i just, love it? for some reason? 'amp; Sugar's backstory of being a total film nerd, i like that detail so much, 'amp; the aspect ratio might be in relation to old hollywood 4:3 style movies? could be just me.. hm hm and the way the closeups are framed, enabling for a much wider image vertically, we get to see the full face of the actors, feels kinda more personal and close, almost intimate since the first episode already, quite directly, a connection also Colin Farrell doing his internal monologue / the narration just hits different

I was very excited about this show, sounded like a cool premise. Unfortunately I couldn't get past the first episode because of the shaky camera. I'm very sensitive to shakiness and it makes me nauseous. Filmmakers, please stop doing this.

Catching, it has one of the best twists so far in 2024.

What a ride Sugar has been, from the cinematography to the voice-over, from the old movie scenes to the insane plot twist. Add the fantastic cast and music and you get a neo-noir series at its best! The finale set the stage perfectly for another season, here's hoping...

Loved it, slow at first 2 episodes, then it hooked me on ep 3 and after 6 I was amazed, interesting detective with a nice twist that could expand even more to sifi if they want it 😁

My wife and I enjoyed this quite a bit [spoiler] But what's with the alien arc?! [/spoiler]

Lost interest after half. Sadly

endeka

Very boring film noir style series. Sometimes it felt like a kids production. I can't believe Farell agreed ymti ths series! I feel like I totally wasted my time.

Darkness

Unlike the other review I actually watched it and understood it, and enjoyed it. Very different and something new, in a good way. Look forward to more.

I am not a Colin fan. I don't like most of his films. Yet I found this show great. I discovered it by chance. I was waiting for the Parish tv show with Esposito to drop, saw the first episode and hated it, so without a show to watch I looked at what other new shows were available. Enter Sugar, and what a treat I was in for. Loved the premise, it was really well written and Colin's usual stressed demeanor fits like a glove to this character. Loving this so far 3 episodes in, can't wait for the rest. ATV does have great shows.
