Sugar – Apple TV
This miniseries plays like any other private detective show, but there is an unexpected twist at the end of episode six when we learn John Sugar is no normal P.I. I was so caught off guard that I had to rewind, but thinking back I missed a lot of clues. Colin Farrell plays John Sugar and is oh so good. Here’s hoping there is a second season.
Clipped – Hulu
This miniseries gives you a peek into the L.A. Clippers and their owner Don Sterling. Doc Rivers is the new coach that inherits a team that has never won a championship. He gets control of the team, but the racist antics of Sterling send everyone into a tailspin. Even if you aren’t a sports fan, you will enjoy this series.
The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley
Foley, one of my favorite writers, keeps you enthralled in this twisty thriller. Her characters are outstanding as she explores the rise of Francesca, who invites guests to her new manor one weekend for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is set against a poor community, which is the home of key staff members. No one should be surprised by the ending, but you are.
There is No Ethan by Anna Akbari
A story of three women all catfished by a man named Ethan. They very quickly discover Ethan doesn’t exist but a woman named Emily does. All the red flags were ignored, in one case for two years, but once the three join forces, the pretender learns you can’t mess with people’s hearts. After this book, I can’t imagine Ethan/Emily will be able to continue his/her catfishing ways.
