Sugar tv series

"A noir series for cinephiles, and as a show full of juicy twists and turns, trust me when I say you're definitely going to want to be on the ride for this one" 

"Viewers spend the better part of the eight-episode season trudging through a rote mystery weighed down by clumsy dialogue and wooden performances" 

"Amid a deluge of streaming content, sometimes it's a pleasure simply to come across something that manages to make the familiar seem original" 

"'Sugar' itself has many mysteries to unveil, and while it's super strong for about six of its eight episodes, its genre-bending twist is unfortunate and kind of ruins the series" 

"Farrell’s performance is one of the best of the year, and hopefully he’s able to inhabit this character for many more seasons. The way the series and its titular character both struggle with ideas of violence, shame and complicity is enthralling from start to finish" 

"'Sugar' spends so long laying the foundation for the show it eventually becomes that it's easy to get irritated by the show that it is in the interim" 

"[It] slow-plays its weirdest elements, spreading out the answers across its eight episodes, but by the time its full nature is revealed, it doesn’t actually make much of a difference"
