When it first launched, Apple struggled to land massive hits with its streaming service. Those early growing pains seem completely gone now. The company continues dropping highly rated shows one after another, proving its focus on quality over volume is finally paying off. Right now, Apple TV is enjoying an impressive run of successful releases this spring, and its newest detective series is keeping that positive momentum rolling forward.
Sugar, the latest detective show, earns top marks from online reviewers
The platform recently released the second season of Sugar. This Los Angeles-based mystery show stars Colin Farrell as a private eye with a major secret. Fans were excited when the new season of the show premiered a few days ago. The series now holds a 96 percent score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Regular viewers also love it, giving the new episodes a 94 percent audience rating.
Here’s Sugar’s official summary:
“Colin Farrell is John Sugar, a dashing private eye navigating the dark corners of sunny LA. Though he sees only the good in humanity, Sugar is haunted by a secret too dangerous to expose.”
This warm reception pushed the mystery show straight to the top of the internal viewing charts. Currently, only the popular show Widow’s Bay sits higher on the platform’s viewership list in the United States. This strong debut joins a packed spring schedule that includes other fresh hits like Star City and Margo’s Got Money Troubles, which also hold ratings above 90 percent. Even the new Cape Fear limited series holds a very solid 76 percent score.
The streaming service clearly found its rhythm by building a library of well-crafted stories. With massive projects like the third season of Silo and the highly anticipated return of Ted Lasso coming soon, the platform is perfectly positioned to keep its winning streak alive well into the summer.
