After the curveball that Apple TV+’s Sugar threw at us a couple weeks ago — Colin Farrell’s private eye John Sugar is actually an alien?!? — we were ready for anything in this week’s season finale. But we were still surprised to see where Sugar ended up.

One of the members of the Cosmopolitan Polyglot Society, Henry Thorpe is an alien who’s taken the job of an anthropologist. Often teaching at University, Henry seems like a man who can’t hurt a fly. After Ozark, Jason Thomas Butler nails the role of Henry and gets under your skin in a creepy way really well. Sugar has had many revelations throughout the first season, but Henry turning out to be the main antagonist is something not many saw coming.
Spoilers Ahead
Who is Henry Thorpe?
You first see Henry at Ruby’s party, a very timid figure who is unnoticeable until Sugar meets him. When Sugar tells him about the Shibuya Crossing, Henry listens to him with great interest, or at least pretends to do so. This brief introduction to the character doesn’t really make much mark, as one would think he’d be completely inconsequential to the narrative.

In our Sugar series premiere review, we discussed how the show kept reminding us that everything must come to an end.
The season finale again went to great lengths to remind us that all things, good or not, must end.
It did that while shutting the door on the various season arcs and opening another equally interesting door to a future that may never come.
To be clear, Sugar has not been billed as a limited series.
But talk about it is nonexistent, which doesn't bode well for a series even as refreshing and brimming with talent as Sugar is.
Apple has the deepest pockets in the business, and they don't have a library of content.
Giving their originals legs to stand on remains good practice, and how frequently they renew projects suggests that ratings and views don't matter to them as much as, maybe, the sheer joy of creating content.

So it all comes to an end, as Apple TV’s Sugar wraps up with the finale named Farewell. The anticipations and reddit theories this show generated are second to none, as the finale begins with John Sugar finally taking Olivia home from the nightmare she was in. The signature classic Hollywood movie scenes blending into Sugar’s narrative have been one of the best experiments in recent memory, and the final episode gives the Hitchcock classic Vertigo a nod. Scotty and Judy’s flirtatious exchange over his actual name starts off the episode on an incredible note. Now we head to discuss the events that unfold in the concluding episode of Sugar.
