Here's what some critics had to say about Sugar via Rotten Tomatoes:

"Despite the languid pacing, Sugar had us engaged for the entire first episode, mainly because Colin Farrell embodies the character of John Sugar so well."
Joel Keller from Decider
"Sugar is one of the most intriguing and unique twists on the neo-noir genre in years, all of which is further elevated by Colin Farrell's performance."
Grant Hermanns from Screen Rant
"Sugar is both a tribute to the classic film noir that is almost all but extinct in modern Hollywood and your next TV obsession — as long as you prepare for the rug to be pulled out from right under your feet."
Nate Richard from Collider

Sugar season 1 episode 3 is set to be released on Apple TV+ on April 12. Will you be watching the new episode?
