1x06 Go Home

Well, that was unexpected. But some hints got their explanations: the strange seizures of Sugar, the fact that he can knock back literally litres of liqour without getting sloshed, that debriefing when he was chastised for registering his feelings, that talk "We just observe."
To be honest, I expected some kind of awkward international spy ring who "just observe" because... why, exactly?
I see a kind of wild game the show's creators played:
1. A classic detective noir, if finished like a proper detective story, would probably have left a dry reception, like "Okay, we've seen this 100x times."
2. Secret spy ring or a shady organization... Just observing? Yeah, right, thanks for nothing.
3. At least, this is a twist that's not everyday for a detective noir.
Let's see how our PIA's story unfolds.

Whoa, the bombshell reveal that Sugar is actually an alien in the series totally flipped the script! :mag_right: It's like we went from a gritty detective drama to a mind-bending sci-fi thriller in the blink of an eye. The whole concept of delving into alien life, futuristic tech, and the great unknown adds a fresh layer of intrigue to the storyline. Can't wait to see how they navigate this new territory and keep us hooked with all the twists and turns that come with Sugar's extraterrestrial identity. Buckle up, folks, we're in for a wild ride of cosmic proportions! :milky_way::sleuth:‍♂:rocket:

WTF?! I mean, really, what the bleeping f___?! How desperate or bored or clueless do your have to be to take a noir detective story, get Colin Ferrell to star in it, and then make him a fracking alien? Talk about taking any good will you may have still have had (the show's over reliance on its visual quirks and desperate need to hide the surprise already spent a good chunk of it) and flushing it right down the toilet. Hard to imagine why anyone would come back for a season 2 after this inane twist.
