What to Know

Critics Consensus

A modern noir steeped in the classic tradition, Sugar could use stronger clues to go along with its ample style, but Colin Farrell's cool performance keeps things compelling.

Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Billed as “genre-bending,” spanning film noir, sci-fi, and Westerns, with some global gangster intrigue thrown into the mix. What it really is, though, is a surprisingly good crime drama with an awful lot of unnecessary adornment Apr 15, 2024 Full Review Lauren Sarner New York Post It’s like a checklist of the genre, but it’s light on its feet and proceeds smoothly enough that it doesn’t feel like a mere checklist. Apr 8, 2024 Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone Please. People want to see the show you are trying to make, not an endless warm-up for that show. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com A very interesting and nostalgic show in a way that will keep you hooked till the end. Rated: 3.5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Sugar is a series that promises one thing and delivers another, and even does that half-heartedly. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene There’s plenty... to relish in creator Mark Protosevich’s smart, stylish and thought-provoking re-examination of classic private eye tropes. Colin Farrell is at his absolute best. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert D I enjoyed the first episodes with the “film noir” touch. Less enthusiastic about the last ones when there suddenly came a sci-fi twist on top of it all … Great performance of Colin Farrell. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Gayle R Tries too hard and fails on all levels. Amateur dialog, ridiculous plot and poor attempt at being artsy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Chaz W Really good. It's nice to find something unique that doesn't really fit into a mold. Colin Farrell is great, it's far and away his best. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Jason T The Big Twist is what makes it 4 stars rather than 5. Honestly this is a show that has so much going for it, stellar cast all giving solid performances, a decent mystery storyline, episodes directed by very good directors. It is as good a neo noir as you could hope for, and for whatever reason it almost cuts the whole lot off at the knees about three quarters of the way in with 'the big twist' which is so far left field it's almost annoying when it hits. You still have to watch it, Farrell is great, the rest of the cast impeccable, and its a good entertaining use of 5 hours, it's just a shame they went for THAT as the twist rather than playing it straight, making it longer and exploring some of the side plots they sort of flag up and leave hanging all the way through. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Min C Excellent show! Apple TV should be applauded for giving us something original and beautifully crafted show. To the showrunners, casts and crews.. Thank you so much Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Cheryl M It’s good. A nostalgic series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
