      Sugar — Season 1

      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.

      Dan O Tried to like this however: the writing is awful, the acting from Colin somewhat pretentious and uninspring. The production style might have been effective if it was really stylish. All in all a complete miss. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Robert M Boring, weird (not in a good way) and one dimensional. Too bad…. Farrell can be great. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Debra I I'm really enjoying this series. Only downside is, it's a mystery, and I have to wait until late Thursday night for the next episode!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Paul D I love noir detective dramas, and I thought this was going to be a great homage to that genre. I was sorely disappointed when I discovered that John Sugar was an alien being. As soon as I realized that this show was one more cheesy TV sci fi, I stopped watching. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Tony M Yeah, no. Awful dialog, weak writing. Feels like it was written by a college kid for a class project. I kept being reminded that I could be watching something much better every time a "reference" popped up. And that stupid gun scene. He's really gonna carry around a 75 year old movie prop? So stupid. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review Paul L Colin Farrell finally grown. I love this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Andy Andersen New York Magazine/Vulture The show’s overall lack of grit and grime in this and many other aspects of its genre machinations is proving a stumbling block of vagary as we veer into the halfway mark of the episode and the series as a whole. Rated: 2/5 Apr 20, 2024 Full Review 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 Ana Yorke PopMatters This idealistic yet stubbornly consistent trait of Sugar's is perhaps the best reason to stay with the show. Rated: 8/10 Apr 20, 2024 Full Review Vinamra Mathur Firstpost Sugar combines style with suspense. There are swifts cuts and pacy editing, accompanied by a fueled background score that only elevate the proceedings. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media The puzzle at the heart of the series may not be exactly what it seems; like plenty of other comfort TV, Sugar is a little too dependent on one big reveal.
