‘Sugar’ Stars Colin Farrell, Amy Ryan Break Down That Absolutely Insane Episode 6 Twist

variety.com:

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This post contains major spoilers from “Go Home,” the sixth episode of “Sugar,” now streaming on Apple TV+.

If you had “Colin Farrell’s new noir detective series is really a front for an ethereal alien drama” on your 2024 TV predictions, then take a bow, because this week’s episode of Apple TV+’s “Sugar” was all for you.

And yes, you read that right. In the show’s sixth episode, Farrell’s character John Sugar is revealed to be a bluish-purple, humanoid alien masquerading as a classic Hollywood-obsessed private detective tracking down the missing granddaughter of a famous film director (James Cromwell).

The twist has been teased and, in some cases, mercilessly mocked online since reviews started dropping last month. But for audiences who have patiently waited to be clued in, the episode finally answers what the hell is going on with the show’s central character, who has experienced everything from hand tremors to full-on sensory breakdowns to a Doctor Doolittle-level ability to persuade animals.
