Apple TV's Sugar Season 2 Lands 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score, Up From 81%

1 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 21

Summary

  • Sugar season 2 opened with a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes critic score, a sharp jump from season 1's 81% as new reviews continue to come in.
  • Colin Farrell returns as the lead in Apple TV's noir mystery, with the new season shifting to a fresh case after season 1 centered on a missing Hollywood producer's granddaughter.
  • Season 2 also changes the premise by revealing from the outset that Sugar is an alien staying on Earth to guard against threats, rather than saving that twist for a late reveal.
  • The strong early reception gives Apple TV another well-reviewed ongoing series as it expands a lineup that already includes Severance, Shrinking and the recently concluded Widow's Bay.
