Sugar 2024 | comment |
Sugar is a "genre-bending" Detective Drama TV series developed by Mark Protosevich, which premiered on Apple TV+ in April 2024.John Sugar (Colin Farrell) is a Los Angeles Private Investigator with a throwback style and a love of classic cinema. In the premiere, Sugar is hired by elderly film producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell) to locate his granddaughter Olivia (Sydney Chandler), a reformed drug addict who has gone missing. Sugar's investigation immediately causes waves within Hollywood and its criminal underbelly, but the secrets that he uncovers might just pale in comparison to the ones Sugar keeps about himself...The series also stars Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Amy Ryan, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry and Alex Hernandez. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Sugar 2024 / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The first five episodes drop subtle hints that there's more to the situation than meets the eye, such as John's inability to get drunk, fascination with mundane human activity, ability to lift a man off the ground by the neck without strain, plus Ruby stressing the need to remain detached from people and asking if John is keeping up with his medication. This builds up to the reveal that John and, by extension, the rest of the Cosmopolitan Polyglot Society are aliens. | |
