Time for a Sugar Rush
You have literally 24 hours to catch up before the series’ audacious twist gets ruined for you.
If your experience of Sugar is anything like mine, you’ll be grooving along to this pleasantly by-the-numbers California neo-noir, clocking (but mostly shrugging at) the occasional off-kilter detail, until it suddenly hits you. At the risk of burning off any remaining credibility I have after those puns, the closest spiritual cousin I can come up with for Sugar is John Patrick Shanley’s romantic dramedy Wild Mountain Thyme. Reduced to what’s literally happening, it sounds ridiculous and asinine — like a final middle finger to the audience in a movie that already tested their patience by allowing Christopher Walken to do a horrible faux-Irish accent.
