I didn't hate the twist. Again, I would've preferred a modern noir with Colin Farrell looking awesome in great suits and driving a cool car. I did hate them hiding the twist, you could've played it straight and said they were aliens from jump. Since you hid that you also hid the truth about his sister and his friend. There were no breadcrumbs that could've lead you to the reveal about Henry (I think that's his friends name). He also just appeared to pick a torture CD at random, I don't think it was the last one it looked like just one out of the middle that happened to reveal the same things his friend said.

Also, and this might be subjective, but Sugar was kind of a shitty detective. Just drive here and talk to this person and then go talk to someone else and then do it all over again. He never really figured anything out on his own it felt like.

I'm not sure if there will be a season 2. I think I read that Farrell wasn't interested in doing multiple seasons. He's also got the Penguin show coming on Max.

So I finally watched the finale and slept on it for a couple of days and I think I've concluded that I prefer the show just to end rather than have another season.

I did not see the point of making him an alien and then waiting so long for the twist, that you barely have time to acclimate because the season is wrapping up.

I was sold on the idea of watching a modern noir starring one of my favorite actors. There was no need to flip it to a sci-fi show and it became incredibly frustrating because it left you with more questions than answers and not in a good way (Severance did this in a positive way).

If it returns for a new season, I'm sure I'll watch it but even the ending left me caring less for Sugar's character.

I think he did have to piece some things together from people he talked to.

But he’s not from earth so he doesn’t really know how to be a real detective besides what he’s seen in the movies.
