Season 1 Review
Arriving on Apple TV+ with its first two episodes on Friday April 5th, ‘Sugar’ throws Colin Farrell into the search for a missing young woman, who hails from a wealthy, influential Hollywood dynasty.The new series, which comes from Mark Protosevich, the writer of movies including ‘The Cell’ and ‘I Am Legend’, looks to juggle two mysteries at once, the driving storyline and the allied background for our main man, snappily dressed investigator John Sugar.
‘Sugar’, at least on paper, has everything going for it. You have Mark Protosevich, who has worked in movies for years and is steeped in motion picture history. Sam Catlin, whose TV resume includes the likes of ‘Preacher’ (an extremely underrated graphic novel adaptation) and a key role bringing ‘Breaking Bad’, one of the most respected small screen series in history, to life.
