The actor plays a hard-drinking, film-loving snoop in Apple TV+'s series

Los Angeles, now-ish. One of Hollywood’s most famous producers has a “bum ticker” and a missing granddaughter. Luckily, the best finder in town is on the case, all gruff and wry voiceover narration, late-night whiskey in a glass with no rocks, forever tending a battle-wounded conscience while a mournful sax purrs. But Colin Farrell’s Sugar is “one of the good guys”—tough, unflappably smart-alecky, yet is made nervous by guns.

The simple slam of a classic car’s door, the walk up to a house in the Hills, the neon of an old bar, the camera always lingering one loving beat too long — against it all he easily conjures a less rumpled Elliott Gould, a less swaggery Gene Hackman, most any good tough from any Raymond Chandler. Movies are his entree, his motivation, it seems, taking him deeper into the transgressions of the powerful Siegel family tree.
