Until then, viewers spend the better part of the eight-episode season trudging through a rote mystery weighed down by clumsy dialogue and wooden performances. It\u2019s likely many won\u2019t reach the twist at all, and they won\u2019t be any worse off for doing so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    We first meet Sugar in Tokyo, where a black-and-white prologue establishes the freelancer as an expert in discreetly finding missing persons. After tracking down the kidnapped child of a yakuza boss, Sugar is quickly recalled to Los Angeles, where his insistence on wearing a suit in a sea of athleisure instantly evokes Elliott Gould in \u201cThe Long Goodbye.\u201d But rather than simply riff on recognizable motifs from detective fiction and classic film, \u201cSugar\u201d is far more overt and less creative in incorporating its influences. Sugar loves the movies, which we know because he\u2019s prone to saying things like \u201cI love the movies.\u201d Not only is such exposition a poor substitute for more specific references that could inject more personality, it\u2019s supplemented by actual film clips wedged into the episodes via cuts that come off both abrupt and distracting. Out-of-context excerpts from \u201cSunset Boulevard,\u201d \u201cDouble Indemnity,\u201d \u201cTouch of Evil\u201d and others largely serve to remind us how far \u201cSugar\u201d falls short of its self-identified bar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Sugar\u2019s latest client is veteran film producer Jonathan Siegel (James Cromwell), whose granddaughter Olivia (Sydney Chandler) has disappeared without a trace. Olivia\u2019s father Bernie (Dennis Boutsikaris) brushes off her absence as a presumed relapse into past struggles with addiction; Sugar\u2019s associate Ruby (Kirby, who has dropped Howell-Baptiste from her professional name) cautions him against taking the case \u2014\u00a0ostensibly because he\u2019s overworked, though there\u2019s clearly some ulterior motive at play. Nevertheless, Farrell\u2019s obtrusive and overused voiceover expounds on his fascination with \u201cthis case,\u201d as in: \u201cI should be narrowing things down, but the case just keeps growing.\u201d Sugar\u2019s obsession stands in stark contrast with the dull, bland mystery presented to the audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    There could be some campy pleasures in even a rote Hollywood whodunit, and \u201cSugar\u201d offers a few on the way to its bizarre conclusion. Bernie\u2019s ex-wife Melanie (Amy Ryan), a lapsed rock star and mother figure to Olivia, owns the show\u2019s obligatory source of mid-century modern real estate porn, a prerequisite of any Southland-set crime yarn; Olivia\u2019s half-brother David (Nate Corddry), an aging child actor, anchors a deeply silly storyline with his mother Margit (Anna Gunn), which treats us to Skyler White fulminating about \u201cthis town.\u201d But as a whole, this overqualified cast performs far below their established abilities, weighed down by material too broad and self-serious to allow for an inspired turn like Ryan\u2019s cello-playing villainess from \u201cOnly Murders in the Building,\u201d a more successful deconstruction of our crime-obsessed culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Farrell himself is not immune from these pitfalls. Sugar seems designed as a bridge between the leading man roles he took on in the aughts and the soulful vulnerability of later-career roles like his sweater-sporting sad sack in \u201cThe Banshees of Inisherin.\u201d (There\u2019s also the second season of \u201cTrue Detective,\u201d another California noir which, whatever its flaws, maintained a more consistent and immersive mood than \u201cSugar\u201d ever achieves.) But even though there\u2019s an eventual explanation, the hero\u2019s perfection quickly grates. He\u2019s an expert fighter, <em>and <\/em>the kind of guy who takes time to help an unhoused person, <em>and <\/em>is fluent in several languages. Along with Ruby, Sugar belongs to a polyglot club that\u2019s more of a secret society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    For most of the show, Sugar comes off as unconvincing wish fulfillment. If \u201cSugar\u201d <em>were <\/em>able to sell its 11th-hour hairpin turn, it would need to earn our buy-in first through a more grounded portrait of a lost, searching soul. Instead, the show feels detached from reality even before it takes a turn for the surreal. With the element of surprise used so ineffectively, one wishes \u201cSugar\u201d didn\u2019t feel the need to disguise itself in the first place. Were the show more open from the start, it would instantly become an intriguing \u2014 if not necessarily successful \u2014 hybrid of genres, not an unsatisfying take on a familiar one. In its current, disjointed form, \u201cSugar\u201d leaves an aftertaste that\u2019s far from sweet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>The first two episodes of \u201cSugar\u201d are now streaming on Apple TV+, with remaining episodes airing weekly on Fridays.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
