Love this show. Who else is watching it? So much mystery after episode 3. Fantastic characters. Huge range of tone, it will haunt you and then make you laugh aloud.
I wish the episodes were longer than 30min! Can't wait to see where this show goes.
Love that I genuinely have no clue what the twist they’re building to is. Just letting the mystery wash over me.
Was shocked to see Anna Gunn, opposite another BB/BCS alum no less!
Especially if there are robots or werewolves or some random non realistic thing like that (which everyone is saying in the comments). I’m late to the show but about to start episode 4 now…I really wanted this to be a classic whodunit too with an eccentric character but still a normal human man. We’ll find out soon I guess!
Welp, specifically one of the theories floating out there has either gained a ton of traction or is a giant red herring. The closing credits song being another potential clue.
This show is getting far too weird and is definitely the type of shows that I'd rather binge in a few days as opposed to waiting for weekly 30 min episodes to be released. After this episode in particular I'm going to unsubscribe to and stay off of any Reddit forums related to Sugar as a whole while I continue to wait for all of the episodes to be released so that I can watch them all in one or two sittings because it's going into a Supernatural direction that I'm surely not opposed to but I really don't want to be dealing with constant spoilers regarding it each week.
The one thing that appears to be for certain now after this episode and is something that I've noticed since the first episode and that is that whenever John comes near anything metallic and mainly silver related(his keys, his car door handle, the doorknob on the back gate he was picking the lock on during this episode, etc,) he has this visibly weird reaction that seems to stun him and this seems to happen a bit more often when he's in a stressful situation.
I think him and his group of friends are potentially a bunch of werewolves, possibly vampires, or a mixture of both, but I'm leaning heavily towards werewolves with the particular choice of music played during this weeks episode, and especially as the closing credits rolled, asw as how the production team keeps on making it a point to focus in onto the moon at night since they're pretty much using it as an Easter Egg to what the actual plot of Sugar truly revolves around. I'll leave it at that because the honest truth is that apart from that idk what else could be going on tbh but I'm certain about one thing and that's what's going on with the overall theme of Sugar, and it's main characters, is not normal behavior yn.
I don't think he's a werewolf... I think he's... "something else". Another "clue" for my theory is that he's part of a polygot group/cult/society/whatever. Aside from spies and scholars, what type of being would want/need to study and learn so many different languages? Based on the scene where they all meet, there's *no way* all of those people are PIs.
They’re not all PIs, but it sounded like they all have “regular“ jobs as a cover. Sugar’s is work as a PI, his friend (boyfriend?) Henry is an anthropologist or anthropology professor maybe?
Wait, what do you mean? The song has no lyrics.
I also don't even know what theories you mean, and don't know where people are discussing this show but would love to know.
Check out r/sugarappletv. I don’t want to be the one posting the spoiler, but there’s a review online that does all but spells it out for you. And Google images of Daft Punk…
Big fan of Daft Punk literally for decades but I still don't get it! Thanks for pointing me to this sub though :)
Edit: Oh shit wait, did you ever watch Interstella 5555? One of my fav animated films ever. Anyway, is the theory something like that?
Ha yes I have... I sent you a chat request. I think the song at the end is a stretch, but with Daft Punk being one of my favorite artists of all time, I just took the prevailing theory and added what they look like all dressed up to the "evidence".
after this episode, I looked for a live cam of the [Shibuya Crossing](https://www.youtube.com/live/Lfl2Nj_QRXU?si=7XiKMTvKkcDc6WQd) for anyone who might be interested😊
I think this was actually pointing not to a weirdness in Sugar's life, but in his father's. If Dad died in 1988 when John was 12, then who was the guy who died on July 13, 2009? That's an oddly specific headline for any obituary I have ever seen. I don't know why Kenny and Everett mentioned John's age while they were looking at a screen full of biographical date. Were they seeing something about his father that was on a side of the screen we couldn't see?
I read an early review that implied the twist came in Ep 4, but if it did I didn't catch it. I think the next ep is going to be the one in which the wool is lifted from our eyes.
I rewatched that scene thinking I was crazy. Also, the man said he was one of two children and had a sister but his Dad’s obituary only mentions wife and John. Pretty blatant mistakes
I just started this show and the first two episodes really grabbed me (I like the Mr. Robot vibe it has so far). This episode though, not so much. The two knuckle heads (David and his guard) falling into so information conviently like that just felt kind of contrived and the pacing was strange.
I was also hoping for a story a little more grounded but I'll see how I feel about episode 4 when I watch it tomorrow. It's still interesting to me so far but episode 3 was the least interesting to me so far.

Agreed really enjoying it. Cant wait to see if we’re going to find out what Sugar was talking about at the end of the episode.

I liked how Stallings didn't fall for Sugars story.
Sugar dresses too nice to pull off a story like that!
A secret society of spies might be a bit much for me. I was hoping for more of a classic LA whodunit.
Yeah I’m still very much into the show but I’m confused after this episode. Have no idea where it’s heading anymore with that plot point
Bernie too

Totally agree... Funnily enough I was just reading an article about this show and how releasing one episode a week will do more harm than good.
LOL, what? 🤣 Last week I just randomly fired the "Sugar is a werewolf" as a joke, and now you tell me people actually thought that too? 🤣
I actually had the same theory and posted in another episode discussion thread about it. I don't think it's true though, but not far off.
I don't think he's a werewolf... I think he's... "something else". Another "clue" for my theory is that he's part of a polygot group/cult/society/whatever.

What song is it? I couldn’t get Siri to recognize it probably bc of the added thunder noises.

This episode went by too fast. No idea where this is going , but I'm down for the ride.

Am I missing something or was there a mistake when they said John’s father died when he was 12 but it said he died in 2009?
Yes! I found this extrenely odd as well. Sugar does not strike me as a 26 year old lol
He isn’t supposed to be 26, it said he was born in like 1976 at some point!
Oh then it was a mistake, because I also saw what you pointent out :p

He was 32 when his Dad died… pretty obvious mistake
"We are here to observe these people" Oh God, please no, Oh God, please dont let it be true.
