You Loved 'Sugar,' There's One Movie You Need to Watch Next

If you’ve been watching Apple TV’s “Sugar,” the article argues that fans should move next to 1955’s “Kiss Me Deadly.” It describes “Sugar” as a mix of classic noir—complete with literal flashes of old films—unexpected sci-fi turns, and Colin Farrell’s charisma. While its big twist divided some viewers, the piece says it works by reframing the story and John Sugar’s character while honoring noir roots. For fans who want deadpan detectives, secrets, and grim surprises, “Kiss Me Deadly” is positioned as the ideal match. The film adapts Mickey Spillane’s novel and follows private detective Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker), whose investigation begins after a woman named Christina (Cloris Leachman) is murdered following an attack.
