A more refined and bolder version of the show that premiered in 2024. .... The editing and pacing of the first couple of episodes may feel frenetic, but as we go back and forth between the past and present, the story that shapes up in season two is one of this year’s most engaging.

Some viewers may have disregarded this show entirely after the sci-fi twist, but largely due to Farrell's star power and amicable nature, Sugar season 2 impressively pulled itself out of a narrative hole to provide Apple TV with a detective franchise it can rely on long-term.

Amazing Season 2, far superior to Season 1. The script is incredibly well-written and developed across eight episodes. Colin Farrell delivers a top-notch performance. The supporting cast is also excellently chosen and delivers great performances. Los Angeles truly provides locations that make the story more intriguing and, at the same time, captivating. I hope Apple TV renews it for a Season 3, because there is still story to explore and the series is delightful to watch. I really liked Season 1, but I absolutely loved Season 2.

Typical Apple TV quality - which I appreciate. The acting is very good. A lot of people are going to find the blend of film-noir flashbacks and science fiction a little difficult to wrap their brains around. If you not that interested in film quality and are more of a story driven film watcher you might find Sugar a challenge.

Proves a far more confident and coherent sci-fi noir in its sophomore outing.

Sugar’s secret is out, to viewers anyway, but we can still enjoy his quirks, including a poker face that breaks into an easy grin; a capacity for lethal force that he’d rather not use; and an insatiable lust for the movies.

If Sugar was as much of an homage to sci-fi as it is to film noir, Season 2 would be a far more satisfying slice of cinematic cake.

Farrell really is remarkable, helping sell some of the show’s most emotional moments. But “Sugar” struggles to maintain interest beyond the big ideas it introduces, too often lost in genre mechanics when it should be spending more time getting to know its supplementary characters.
