I'm worried about Sugar, man. Not the guy, the show.

Abandoning the entire raison d'être established for the show by its Season 1 finale before the opening credits rolled on the Season 2 premiere was…bold, let's say, but change is value-neutral in itself.

What we got in exchange for losing Jason Butler Harner and the Fugitive-style hunt for justice his character presented us with would go a long way to determining whether this was a change worth making.
