Sugar is currently streaming in Australia on Apple TV, and in the US on Apple TV, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. 2 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Colin Farrell leads a cast that carries the story without ever feeling mechanical. Available now on Apple TV — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Sugar earns its spot. At its heart, Sugar understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. John Sugar is a dashing private eye navigating the dark corners of sunny LA. Though he sees only the good in humanity, Sugar is haunted by a secret too dangerous to expose. Colin Farrell and Jin Ha lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. It ran for 2 seasons (2024–2026), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What makes Sugar hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, Sugar delivers. Viewers who responded to Perry Mason will find a lot to like here too. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Colin Farrell anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.

Sugar is currently airing new episodes, created by Mark Protosevich — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
