Sugar Finale Recap: Farewell, My Lovely John Sugar
The series doesn’t end with a bang or a whimper but a semi-wrapped-up investigation that leaves the door open for more mysteries.
En route to Jonathan Siegel’s house, he listens to the CD recording of the Pavich kid (a distractingly rote set of serial-killer “pop-psychologisms” ending with the sounds of a hammer crashing over a victim’s skull). On paper, the Melanie character was about as thinly (or intricately, depending on the day) drawn as every other member of the Siegel family, but Ryan brings her usual hypnotic well of warmth and vulnerability to all her scenes with Farrell. But it does stick a satisfyinglanding of sorts — serviceably hitting all the sci-fi-noir genre beats while actually teeing up a compelling case for a second season (not that that ’s likely in the wake of the “big alien reveal” and its near-universal lukewarm-to-icy reception).
