Watch along and gain points for spotting every tried and true, overused, detective cliché you can find.

Earn extra points for spotting non-detective cliches... from catching a fly with chopsticks, speaking many languages, living in a hotel, driving the flashy flamboyant car, to voice overs for inner monologues and an apparent medical issue to ignore..

it's got all your favorite cliché hits! You won't be disappointed with this family night of fun cliché spotting. Call your friends, call your relatives - everyone will enjoy a fun game of cliché spotting.

I sometimes wonder who producers believe will be interested in the television show they are making. This show is CLEARLY made for those above the age of 60 - often using callback and footage from 1940-60s films. Trying so, so desperately to draw some parallel between "Sugar" and long dead actors such as Cagney or Bogart. I mean they couldn't have made the demographic more clear unless they had a forward stating "Made for septuagenarians".

Honestly spotting the clichés is the MOST interesting as aspect of this show. Everything else, and I do mean everything, is hackneyed.
