Tokyo vice, shogun, and now Sugar. All three shows have in common of watching only the first 3 episodes and feeling its going to be great. Most of the reviews seem to be missing the mystery into this show that will draw more viewers in.

Is this simply just a detective series with mysterious characters et cetera? Sure. But it's also a bit of sci fi....maybe.

No one knows but there are tons of theories about Sugars character.

Is he an AI? One thing it does have that ive missed for so long is the unreliable narrator. I.e Mr. Robot.

From the first couple of scenes seeing him catch a fly with his chopsticks. Him having glitches in the shower and continues going forward. Many believe hes an AI robot but i felt indifferent until I thought about it. The shot he injected into his neck to sleep and his eye constantly waters.

The whole being able to drink as much alcohol and not being able to get drunk because of his metabolism. That one really got me.

And then there's the writing. No fat at all. Tight writing with twists that take their time unfolding the plot and sub plots. It's fun deliberate and very calculative.

Ultimately, this is a show of a lot of substance and a thinking show that challenges you. If that sounds interesting, WATCH THIS SHOW.
