The music is just as much a part of the fabric of the show as Colin Farrell or the noir tropes.
Colin Farrell’s new series, Sugar, is finally here – with Apple TV+ offering up a modern-day spin on a noir detective series.
The Irishman stars as private detective John Sugar, who’s determined to solve the mysterious disappearance of a Hollywood producer’s granddaughter. However, there’s more to the mystery than meets the eye.
Farrell recently opened up to RadioTimes.com about playing John Sugar, describing him as “such a tender character“.
He added: “He obviously inhabits a world of darkness and criminality and he lives alone, he’s quite a lonely character, and all those other tropes are honoured.
“But there was this kind of lack of cynicism, and this belief in human beings that I thought was really just an interesting counterpoint to the life that he lives and what he sees and what he observes human beings doing to each other.”
