For some, the mere hint of a “twist” in a film or television series triggers an allergic reaction, causing a mental struggle to decode hidden meanings and unravel the narrative before it unfolds. However, I will fearlessly reveal that Apple TV+'s “Sugar” is in fact a mystery with a twist.
Mark Protosevich's creation doesn't shy away from teasing viewers with hints and clues from the beginning, culminating in a significant reveal midway through the series. While this approach may work well for a concise 100-minute film, it feels somewhat stretched in an eight-episode format, especially when most episodes are under 40 minutes.
Creator: Mark Protosevich Stars: Colin Farrell, Kirby, Amy Ryan
The problem with “Sugar” is not the effectiveness of its twist; It's really intriguing. However, most of this intrigue is reserved for a possible second season. The first season relies on deliberate ambiguity, a move that risks diminishing audience interest in the otherwise familiar and somewhat mundane main plot.
On the surface, “Sugar” follows the exploits of John Sugar (played by Farrell), a dashing private investigator who specializes in locating missing people for wealthy clients. Despite his aversion to violence, Sugar proves adept at handling it when necessary, as he sports tailored suits and displays his linguistic prowess.
Set primarily in Los Angeles, the story begins with Sugar's task to find the missing granddaughter of a renowned film producer. As he delves deeper into the case and meets a host of characters, including family members, former stars, and shady associates, the narrative gradually reveals layers of mystery and intrigue.
Protosevich deftly peppers the dialogue with cryptic references and enigmatic elements, hinting at a broader conspiracy lurking beneath the surface. Directors like Fernando Meirelles enhance the atmosphere of uncertainty through dynamic camerawork, emphasizing tight close-ups and skewed angles to keep viewers guessing.
Amid the unfolding mystery, “Sugar” pays homage to classic Hollywood cinema, with Farrell's performance exuding a cool, retro vibe reminiscent of detective noir. Yet despite its cinematic appeal, the series struggles to maintain momentum, weighed down by a protracted buildup to the central reveal.
While the cast delivers commendable performances, the narrative fails to fully utilize its supporting characters, leaving some to feel underdeveloped or misused. Despite its potential, “Sugar” falls short of delivering a truly gripping mystery and fails to engage viewers beyond superficial intrigue.
At its core, “Sugar” presents a tantalizing premise overshadowed by an endless narrative, leaving audiences longing for the transformative payoff its twist promises. While there is undeniable potential for a compelling series, the first season's reluctance to fully embrace his true identity ultimately undermines its initial appeal.
Last summer, I was living in Venice Beach and had decided, due to a friend's persistence, to visit a fortune teller. I, always skeptical but wanting to laugh, agreed to go. What the fortune teller said made me roll my eyes: "I'm not saying you're Cleopatra, but you somehow share her story and are connected." Less than a month later, I got a call from a production company making Jada Pinkett Smith's "African Queens" and was subsequently hired to direct four episodes of a dramatic documentary about the controversial leader's life. The joke was on me. Stars: Adele James, Craig Russell, Nada El Belkasmi I remember as a kid watching Elizabeth Taylor play Cleopatra. I was captivated by her, but even then, I felt like the picture wasn't right. Was her skin really that white of hers? With this new production, could she find the answers about Cleopatra's heritage and free her from the yoke Hollywood had placed on her image? Born in Iran, I am a Pe
Netflix has just released the official trailer for the live-action version of “One Piece”, about a group of young pirates.
