Sugar episode 6 finally reveals the big twist behind the Colin Farrell detective thriller.
But does it come too late in the game?
This article containsmajor spoilersforSugarepisode 6.
Four whole weeks after the two-part April 5 premiere, in fact!
Episode one teases that Sugar isnt your average sleuth.
Theres more to John Sugar than meets the eye.
A group of multi-lingual aristocrats serves as a good cover for the alien species real mission: to observe.
Sugar, bless him, appears to have gotten the best job of all as a private investigator.
Unfortunately though, episode 6 reveals that Sugars detective cosplay has gone too far.
They need you to stop looking, Ruby tells him.
We have to trust that this is for the greater good.
Everything is for the mission.
Ehhhh, kind of.
An alien detective investigating a crime in seedy Hollywood certainly sounds good on paper.
The best human detectives already have a little bit of alien in them.
We love Peter Falk as Columbo not because he knows everything but because he doesnt.
Like any good alien dropped into a strange land, he merely asks the right questions.
WhereSugarruns into problems, however, is the hindsight bit.
The show, as created and developed by Mark Protosevich, takes way too long to get to therealpoint.
There are only two episodes to go after this earth-shattering reveal.
New episodes of Sugar premiere Fridays on Apple TV+ with the finale premiering May 17.
