lives in L.A., drives a pristine vintage Corvette the color of a swimming pool, and loves old movies. He wouldn’t be the first guy to get into the profession under the influence of Hollywood’s romantic portrayal of detectives. From its sun-bleached credits to its smoggy saxophone and moody voiceover,resembles many classics of the genre, especially any story featuring Raymond Chandler’s iconic hard-boiled Los Angeles PI, Philip Marlowe.
The case Sugar takes on in the show’s first season is classic Chandler, too: The detective is summoned to the mansion of a wealthy old man who wants him to find a missing girl, his wayward granddaughter. Sugar is supposed to be taking a break, but he can’t resist the call because the old man is Jonathan Siegel , a movie producer whose films number among Sugar’s favorites. The quest to find Olivia Siegel ushers the detective into the company of Hollywood royalty—which is to say Hollywood types.
Sugar, however, is no lowly gumshoe in the Marlowe vein. He specializes in one task: finding missing persons. And he must be pretty good at it, given that the series opens with him on the job in Tokyo at the behest of a yakuza boss whose grandson has been kidnapped. Sugar wears exquisitely tailored Savile Row suits and lives in a bungalow at a hotel resembling the Chateau Marmont.
