There are many male archetypes I love in TV and movies. There’s the (mostly) quiet and/or brooding guy who is hella stylish and can whup anyone’s butt, like John Wick . He’s silent but deadly. I also love a murder mystery with an absolutely brilliant (and perhaps chaotic) yet mysterious detective at its center. So you bet I’m totally into the obviously hot Colin Farrell playing a detective who can hold his own in a fight. And he’s wearing a classic black suit, a staple in any gentleman’s closet. His name is John Sugar, but there’s nothing sweet about this trailer for Apple TV+’s upcoming series Sugar.
Sugar takes us to Los Angeles and into the life of Farrell’s character John, who knows how to find a missing person. He’s full of secrets, ready to shoot, a little flirty, a lot brooding, and obviously a dog lover. A movie is almost always made better by a dog because dogs are awesome. These facts (and the trailer) are enough to make me want to watch Sugar when hits streaming. But here’s a synopsis to help you decide:
Starring and executive produced by Farrell, “Sugar” is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history: the private detective story. Academy Award-nominee Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel, the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent, others long-buried.
What Is the Premiere Date for Apple TV+’s Sugar?
Sugar’s first two episodes of its eight episode season will hit Apple TV+ on April 5. The remainder of the season will see new episodes release every Friday.
