‘Sugar’ Destroyed Itself With One of the Worst Plot Twists Ever
Apple TV+(Warning: Spoilers for Sugar ahead.)Over the course of its first five episodes, Sugar has detailed dapper movie-obsessed Los Angeles private eye John Sugar’s (Colin Farrell) investigation into the baffling disappearance of Olivia Siegel (Sydney Chandler), the daughter of powerful movie producer Bernie (Dennis Boutsikaris), half-sister of scumbag former child actor David (Nate Corddry), and granddaughter of Hollywood titan Jonathan (James Cromwell). Nonetheless, Olivia’s whereabouts have only been one of the mysteries at the heart of Mark Protosevich’s Apple TV+ series, since, in various small but telling ways, it’s also teased a bigger secret lurking beneath its authentic—and self-referential—noir surface. As suggested by its numerous subtle hints, that surprise has to do with Sugar and his professional and personal acquaintances, all of whom are members of a vague close-knit organization. And at the end of its sixth episode, the show finally gave up the goods, revealing the real paradigm-altering nature of its protagonist.John Sugar is an alien. Like, from outer space. And, in particular, from a distant planet whose inhabitants resemble blue-skinned cast-offs from Avatar.Read more at The Daily Beast.

This Week on ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’: Ewan McGregor Almost Gets Arrested
Ben Blackall/Paramount+ With ShowtimeThis week’s episode of A Gentleman in Moscow finally gets the heart racing. It’s been five long weeks in the Metropol Hotel holding cell, but now, Count Alexander Rostov (Ewan McGregor) is breaking out.Everything starts out like usual. We’ve hopped a little over a decade into the future, now in 1947, where high school-aged Sofia (Beau Gadsdon) is giving Alexander (who she now calls Papa, so sweet) flack over him caring too much about boys and homework. When Alexander catches Sofia taking piano lessons from a boy her age—gasp, piano lessons!—he screams at her in the hotel lobby. Alex is very protective over his adopted daughter.Anna (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Olga (Anastasia Hille) have also taken part responsibility over Sofia. Anna is especially perturbed by Alex’s helicopter parenting when she’s been giving Sofia plenty of advice on boys. Alex demands that Anna stop trying to step over him as Sofia’s primary guardian, but Anna fights back—she has done so much to help Anna become the woman she is today. Alex should be thanking her, not chastising her.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Seth Meyers Shreds Trump’s Desperate Campus Protest Conspiracy Theory
NBC“There’s a lot going on right now,” Seth Meyers declared at the top of Thursday’s “A Closer Look”—so much so that he repeated that claim again about four minutes into the segment.While Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial continues, so too do the pro-Palestinian protests popping up at college campuses across the country—and Meyers seems a little shocked that it’s not the former story that has people most enthralled. But Trump and those college protests collided this week when the former president decided to call into his pal Sean Hannity at Fox News to offer his opinion on the matter on Tuesday and claim that the protests are being organized and run by some nefarious outside operation.“Well I really think you have a lot of paid agitators,” Trump told Hannity. “Professional agitators in here, too.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

These Knicks Prove You Don’t Need a Megastar—Just Good Vibes—to Win
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/GettySomewhere permanently lodged in the back of my mind, there’s a rusted, creaking file cabinet. Open up any of the overstuffed drawers and you’ll find it crammed with ex-New York Knicks: Utterly forgettable failed prospects, botched draft picks, bored and surly free agent signings, journeymen nobodies.The truly remarkable failures are there, too. But these odd spreadsheets are mainly littered with the likes of Chris McNealy, Lou Amundson, Randolph Morris, Quincy Acy, Jerrod Mustaf, Lee Nailon, Sergio Rodriguez, things of that nature.Fans of any bedraggled and misbegotten franchise probably have a similarly well-worn mental inventory tucked away somewhere. It’s an act of self-preservation, in a way. Or at least it is for me. During the truly execrable Knicks seasons—and there have been so, so many—I’ve found myself frequently thumbing through it, maybe lingering on a two-week period where I thought Alexey Shved could be a rotation-grade NBA player. The present may seem hopeless, sure, and the past just as nightmarish, but maybe that doesn’t matter. Perhaps, I’d tell myself, time spent devoted to a thing that doesn't love you back, that never seemed to care, really, whether you paid attention or not, is in its own way not just admirable, but beautiful.Read more at The Daily Beast.
