If one can get past the weird directorial choices, Sugar is a thoroughly engaging hard-boiled detective noir that harkens back to the days of Humphrey Bogart. That is, until an absolutely bonkers reveal in Episode Six mostly derails everything. That aside, Colin Farrell is typically great, but the overall pacing might be off-putting for some. I binged the series in one sitting, and I can’t imagine the frustration of watching it weekly. I really wish I could say more without getting spoilery because I want to talk about that twist so badly, but, for now, I can only say Sugar is terrific until it isn’t.
