SUGAR Series Stars Colin Farrell with too Much in the Mix

Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar, a private investigator who specializes in finding the missing for multi-millionaires. Farrell makes a sexy, convincing omnipotent hero in the Apple series SUGAR. He begrudgingly packs heat and takes his scotch neat. SUGAR is stacked with a talented cast including Amy Ryan and James Cromwell. Sugar is an unorthodox detective, a polyglot and "hates hurting people." In fact, he seems to overcompensate by being extremely magnanimous to the minions he comes in contact with. Furthermore, he's unflappable, debonair with expensive tastes and can drink without ever becoming inebriated.  Sugar has the makings for an irresistible and inscrutable character that should make the viewer savor him.  But, the case he's working on, finding the beautiful and beloved granddaughter of movie mogul Jonathan Siegel (Cromwell) is too convoluted and confusing it left a bad taste in my mouth.  Still, there is intrigue,  LA glamour and a private eye that is easy on the eyes with the promise of more than what meets the eye.  Is this enough to see you through eight episodes? I'll give you a clue Sherlock - if you like strange twists and can roll with the flow, this is your show.  For me, there's too much in the mix to swallow and it went sour.
